Lytham Gin founder Sara Dewhurst said: "We are absolutely delighted.

"The Gin Guide Awards attract about 1,000 entries from over 30 countries each year. Gins are categorised and blind tasted by panels of judges. The highest scoring gins in each category are shortlisted as finalists, with somewhere between five to 20 per category. "

"This year Lytham Gin entered gins into three categories and were shortlisted in all three."
