Aldi's Scottish Gin named as best in the world as prestigious awards
It saw off competition from gins from places such as USA, Germany, China and elsewhere with the judging panel praising its flavour and 'exceptional' quality.
The gin is sold for £19.99 in Aldi and was up against premium bottles that cost a lot more money when it was selected as the winner.
The classic London Dry gin is said to feature a 'well-balanced blend of juniper, coriander and citrus' and was described as both 'elegant' and 'beautifully balanced' by the judges at the awards.

It is the latest award for the gin, which was launched by Aldi in 2023, having picked up the Gold and Best in Country at The World Drink Awards 2025.
Graham Nicolson, Group Buying Director at Aldi Scotland, said: 'We have had an incredible response for Còmhla both from our loyal customers and the wider drinks industry. To be named the Best Classic Gin in the world is the ultimate honour.
'Scotland may be small, but we consistently punch above our weight on the world food and drink stage. To be able to compete at such as high standard and to win, is testament to the craftsmanship and skill of our homegrown suppliers, and to the strength of the longstanding partnerships we have formed with them.'
