Sonoma's Griffo Distillery earns "America's Greatest London Dry Gin"

Latest award for Griffo's Scott Street Gin takes top honors from The Gin Guild as best in the U.S. for 2025

PETALUMA, Calif., June 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Griffo Distillery, makers of "scientifically crafted spirits", is thrilled to announce that its flagship Scott Street Gin has been awarded America's Greatest London Dry Gin 2025 by The Gin Guild at ADI's International Spirits Competition (American Distilling Institute). Judges were impressed by its meticulous balance of botanicals, and Scott Street Gin perfectly exemplifies Griffo's commitment to combining innovative science with the finest local ingredients.

"Crafted with wild juniper and Sonoma Meyer lemons, this standout spirit rose to the top in a rigorous blind tasting judged by industry experts," says The Gin Guild. As a global champion of the gin category, The Gin Guild celebrates excellence in distilling—and this award is a testament to Griffo's craftsmanship.

The timing of the award couldn't be more perfect for July 4th celebrations, as CEO Will Maroun states, "What better way to celebrate our independence from Great Britain than a G&T with America's Greatest Gin? It's practically our patriotic duty."

"Scott Street Gin is our bright and citrusy, California take on London Dry Gin; with Sonoma Meyer Lemons 'locally foraged' from neighbors and friends, and wild & organic botanicals. It was our first spirit crafted to highlight the beauty and bounty of Sonoma County. We're honored to receive this national recognition."
—Fred Abercrombie, Director of Marketing & Creative
