Taking to Instagram, Disterlly owners said: "When the three independent spirits who founded the Dingle Distillery set out, the aim for Dingle Gin was to create a completely unique and innovative gin, which also worked within the great tradition of gin distilling.

"Liam, Peter and Oliver achieved what they set out to do and we have always been extremely proud of our gin, however, it’s always nice to have the belief in your product validated on a world stage.

"Here’s to many more years of world-class gin distilling. We hope you all raise a glass in celebrating this achievement with us!"

The distillery was launched in 2012.
