A Napier gin distillery has taken out two gold medals at an international awards event in London.

Organisers of the 2022 London Spirits Competition have awarded gold, silver and bronze medals to top gins from across the globe.

The National Distillery Company, based in the iconic National Tobacco Company Building in Ahuriri, won two gold medals for its Hemp Gin and NZ Dry Gin.

It also won the Best in Show New Zealand Award, which was reserved for the best distillery from New Zealand taking part in the awards this month.

Two other distilleries from New Zealand also picked up gold medals including Good George (Hamilton) and Dancing Sands Distillery (near Nelson).
