Aldi's Oliver Cromwell London Dry Gin has a modest price tag of £9.97 but the budget tipple recently came up trumps in a prestigious spirits competition.

The gin received a Gold at the International Wine and Spirits Challenge, where it was judged in a blind tasting

It beat rivals costing more than four times its price including Foxhole London Dry Gin, a premium ‘fresh and aromatic gin’ which costs £39.95.

Aldi received another Gold for its Specially Selected Creme de Cassis (£6.99), as well as Silvers for its Tamova Vodka (£9.97), and Glen Marnoch Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (£17.49).

In total the supermarket was awarded 20 accolades for its spirits and liqueurs - beating rivals Lidl and Marks & Spencer.

Tony Baines, joint managing director of corporate buying at Aldi, said: "Receiving medals for our spirits is a fantastic achievement and it is great to see our spirits range being praised so highly by experts.

"Being awarded a title such as 'Supermarket Own Brand Spirits Range of the Year' is something that not only reflects the quality of our products but also the hard work that our UK based buying team put into drinks retailing every single day."
