The winners of the World Drinks Awards 2025 have been unveiled, and Adnams Longshore Triple Malt Vodka scooped another gold medal, adding the title of ‘England’s Best Pure Neutral Vodka’ to its long list of accolades.

 

Every year, the World Drinks Awards showcases the best people and products in the global drinks industry. For the 2025 competition, thousands of entries across all drinks categories - from Absinthe through to Vodka, were meticulously tasted and critiqued.

 

The judging of this year’s competition took place close to home, in the heart of Norwich and the expert judging panel was formed from across the industry. Commenting on the competition, Anita Ujszaszi, awards director, said: "What another amazing year! Entries for The World Drinks Awards have increased every year and global industry professionals continue to join us on the judging panel to taste exceptional products from all over the world. Well done to all the winners!”

 

Longshore has an outstanding record in drinks awards and has won the equally prestigious overall Vodka Trophy twice at the International Wine and Spirits Competition, earning Adnams the title of Vodka Producer of the Year. Longshore’s appeal lies in its brilliantly creamy mouthfeel and a refreshingly crisp bite. You'll also find gentle notes of toffee and a hint of pepper on the finish.

 

This exceptionally pure, handcrafted vodka is smooth and rich because it’s distilled from a mash bill of 60% East Anglian malted barley, 35% wheat, and 5% British oats. Our small batch distillation in authentic copper stills produces a spirit that’s exceptionally clean, with a remarkable depth of flavour that appears to be a hit with the judges. The use of wheat and oats develops creaminess and texture, and barley adds a natural sweetness - all the trademarks of a quality vodka.
