arner Edwards was awarded Best New Launch Design in the gin category at the 2014 World Drink Awards.After meeting at university, Tom Warner and Sion Edwards became great friends and teamed up to create a premium gin, made with ingredients source from their respective farms, situated either side of the Anglo-Welsh border. The pair opened their distillery in December 2012 on Tom's family farm in the quaint village of Harrington in Northamptonshire.
The design communicates the story of Warner & Edwards friendship, the unique provenance of their gin as well as its premium craft and quality. The weather vane represents several aspects of the brand story as it points west to east, from Wales to England, and from Warner to Edwards. Atop the vane, the Welsh dragon shares a glass with the English lion. This central lock-up is crowned with the brand motto “United in Spirit.”
The prize isn’t the first for the artisan gin after it received honours at the International Wine & Spirit and World Spirits Competitions as well the Northamptonshire Food & Drink Awards.
