We are delighted to share the news that Bertha’s Revenge Gin was awarded a Silver Medal from the Beverage Testing Institute (BTI).

BTI was founded in 1981 as the first international wine competition in the United States, adding beer, spirits, cider, sake, mead and more to the repertoire in 1994. Using industry-leading methodology co-developed with Cornell University and a one-of-a-kind approach to trade focus groups and sensory panelist recruitment, BTI’s evaluations are so much more than a competition. Beverage Testing Institute has become the most comprehensive and reliable source for alcohol beverage product testing and professional reviews in the world.

We are delighted to introduce you to a new nautical member of Justin & Antony’s little herd Bertha’s Revenge Navy Strength Gin. They have raised the ABV to a lip-pursing 57.1%, and have shuffled the botanical blend slightly to accentuate one or two of the more pronounced flavour notes. The extra strength gives our merry crew of spices a megaphone through which to convey their message, which is as smooth and as well-balanced as you would expect from a cow riding at anchor.

Aoife O’Connell Walsh and James Walsh said “I do” in a gorgeous ceremony on December 28th in a rustic-chic barn on the ground of Ballyvolane House with just 17 close family members present.

“Ballyvolane was incredible,” Aoife said. “We were looking for somewhere that was different, somewhere that wasn’t your typical wedding venue”.

Thank you Aoife and James for having chosen BH as the location for your wedding. We really enjoyed having you all here. Huge congratulations and best wishes for the future.
