“The judges were impressed by Spirited’s hybrid model, community focus, and excellent curation of independent spirits.”– Drinks Retailing News
Held at The Dorchester in London this February, the Drinks Retailing Awards brought together the very best in the UK drinks retail industry - and we were honoured (and slightly stunned!) to be recognised as the Best Newcomer of the year. The judges praised our hybrid concept: part spirits shop, part bar, with a clear focus on championing independent producers and building local community through tastings, education, and storytelling.
The award is a huge milestone for us and a testament to the passion and hard work of our tiny but mighty team. It also marks Bristol’s growing role in the UK’s independent drinks scene. We’re proud to be flying the flag for Bedminster.
A big thank you to our customers, producers, and trade friends who’ve supported us from the start. This one’s for you.
