Increasing customer demand for Hotham’s refined gin creations has led to the team creating a gin subscription service, allowing members to receive a limited edition bottle each month. The service includes free delivery and will launch with Hotham’s Summer Edition - a citrusy blend that perfectly encapsulates the sunshine season.
Hotham’s celebrated their second birthday recently. Along with this milestone, they launched the Hull Gin School in July 2018. Hotham's has enjoyed almost immediate success, thrilling both locals and critics alike with their expertly crafted gins and vodkas.
The awards came thick and fast for the boutique distillery, kicking off with the local Food and Drink Awards, where they walked away with the Yorkshire Drink Award for their Hotham’s Cardamom Gin. This was closely followed with a Silver Medal at the 2019 International Wine and Spirit Competition, and four wins at the 2019 White Rose Awards .

Their Cardamom Gin continued its winning streak, bagging a silver medal in the London Spirit Competition 2020, and their newly launched Hotham's Leeds Dry Gin took bronze. The icing on the cake for Hotham came days later when they have announced a finalist in the prestigious national tourism awards held by Visit England.
