Ahead of Launch, DeVANS’ Upcoming Indian Craft Dry Gin Makes History with Gold Medal at The Spirits Business Gin Masters 2025, UK

Before it even hits the shelves, Devans’ upcoming Indian Craft Dry Gin is already rewriting history; clinching Gold at The Spirits Business Gin Masters 2025.

New Delhi/Jammu, 11^thDecember 2025: In a landmark moment for India’s craft spirits industry, Devans Modern Breweries Ltd’s eagerly awaited Indian Craft Dry Gin has already claimed a Gold Medal at The Spirits Business Gin Masters 2025, London, UK. It is a stunning achievement with the prestigious award being won even before the official launch of the Gin in the Country.

The Gold was secured in the highly competitive Super Premium (£21–£35) category, placing Devans’ upcoming Indian Craft Dry Gin among the finest expressions evaluated in one of the world’s most respected blind-tasting competitions. This marks a historic first as no Indian gin has won in this price band in at least the past eight years. Over 105 entries from more than 60 companies worldwide were assessed by an expert bench of judges through a rigorous blind-tasting process that evaluated aroma, flavour, balance, texture, finish and overall value for money.

This pre-launch success is a historic milestone for Devans and for the Indian craft spirits movement. A 100% Indian-made gin, crafted with careful attention to quality and innovation at Devans’ state-of-the-art facilities, has already earned global recognition on par with the world’s most celebrated spirits and even before its commercial debut.

Devans Modern Breweries has long been a pioneer in India’s alcoholic beverages landscape. Through its internationally renowned outstanding single malt whisky expressions (GianChand), belgian-style wheat beer Six Fields and award-winning Godfather beer, the company is solidly grounded as a dominant player in the Indian alcobev space. With its upcoming gin, Devans continues to carry on the tradition of producing top-quality products and has become one of India's most decorated and forward-looking spirit producers.

“Winning Gold even before our launch is a proud moment that puts Indian craft gin firmly on the world map,”. “Our upcoming Indian Craft Dry Gin represents the perfect fusion of tradition, innovation, and uncompromising quality. To earn this recognition, before even a single bottle has been commercialized, sends a powerful message – India can, and will, produce world-class spirits that stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the best.”

Prem Dewan, Chairman and Managing Director of Devans Modern Breweries Ltd.

The success of Devans’ upcoming Indian Craft Dry Gin is a proud testament to the vision of a “self-reliant India” (Atmanirbhar Bharat). Crafted entirely within the country using the finest botanicals and cutting-edge distillation techniques, this gin exemplifies how Indian talent and resources can create products of global excellence, boosting national pride and putting Indian spirits firmly on the world map.

As Devans’ upcoming Indian Craft Dry Gin prepares for its much-anticipated launch, this prestigious Gold Medal serves as the ultimate prelude; proof that India’s craft spirit revolution has truly arrived.
