Aldi’s gin has been named the best in the world AGAIN… and it’s less than a tenner
The cut-price spirit beat leading brands such as Sipsmith, Beefeater and Gordon's
ALDI’S gin has been named the best in the world – and it’ll cost you less than a tenner.
The £9.99 Oliver Cromwell London Dry Gin became a sold-out sensation when it won top accolades last year.
The cut-price spirit has now scooped a gold medal at the International Spirits Challenge (ISC), beating brands such as Sipsmith, Beefeater and Gordon's.
The prestigious gong comes less than a year after the same gin won a gold medal at the International Wine and Spirits Competition (IWSC).
Meanwhile, the German-owned supermarket also recently relaunched its popular £6.69 Exquisite Collection Côtes de Provence Rosé, which sold out last year after winning a top award.
The rosé bagged a gold medal at the International Wine Challenge last year, after which shoppers flocked to stores to pick up a bottle.

An International Spirits Challenge spokesman said: “Aldi currently holds the ISC's title of 'Supermarket Own Branded Spirits Range of the Year', owing to its range being the best supermarket drinks performers in last year's competition, so we were delighted to see more products return this year.
“Receiving a gold medal is a fantastic achievement, and a testament to the quality of the spirits entered.”
Aldi's cut-price Olvier Cromwell gin was one of eight awards the supermarket picked up at this year's ISC.
Its award-winning gin beat brands including Gordon's, Beefeater and £28.50 Sipsmith gins.
Aldi's slightly pricier £13.99 Topaz Premium Gin also took home a silver medal.
Aldi's own-label Italian aperitif, its £6.99 Aperol lookalike Aperini, took home a bronze medal, whilst Aldi's £6.99 Specially Selected Crème de Cassis scooped a gold accolade.
