The fruity tipple is well worth adding to your drinks cabinet

The gin beat competition from the likes of Edinburgh Gin (The Independent)

No stranger to an award-winning tipple, another Aldi spirit has been named among the best in the world for the second year running.

The budget supermarket’s rhubarb and ginger gin secured the title at the International Wine and Spirits Competition. Costing just £14.99, the bottle beat premium brands, such as Edinburgh Gin, and supermarkets Waitrose and M&S to the coveted title.

Winning the highest possible award, a Gold Outstanding, Aldi’s spirit was lauded by the judges as “magnificently well balanced with full, rich flavours of mouth-watering rhubarb, fiery ginger and chaste juniper.”

Repeatedly proving that luxury doesn’t have to come with a huge price tag, the store has previously won “best spirits supermarket” at the People’s Choice Awards and “wine supermarket of the year 2021” at the International Wine and Spirits Competition. Last year, the supermarket’s bargain Saint Gérmont premium French vodka fought off stiff competition at the World Vodka Awards, too.

If your interest has been piqued by Aldi’s latest accolade, here’s how to secure a bottle of the rhubarb and ginger gin for yourself, as well as where to buy the supermarket’s previous award-winning bottles.
