The results are in, and the competition is heating up. We are proud to find out we are on of four 2026 Best in Category Finalists—the highest-scoring entries in each major category of this year’s competition for Best Gin.

Our Guided Trail Gin advances to the championship round and will now compete for the coveted Best in Category and ultimate Best in Show honors.

The journey isn’t over yet. In the coming weeks, the Ascot Awards judges will conduct final taste-offs to determine the Best in Category “Best Gin” winner and ultimately crown the competition’s highest honors.
