Exciting news from The Foundry in Canterbury—our passion for exceptional, grain-to-glass whisky has been recognised once again! We’re thrilled to announce that we have won three prestigious accolades at the World Whiskies Awards 2025.

Our Foundry Gear Wheel – Corn Whiskey (Bourbon) took home Category Winner and Gold in the Single Cask Single Grain, No Age Statement category for England. Meanwhile, our Foundry Water Tower – Rye Whiskey earned a Silver in the Rye No Age Statement category. These wins highlight our dedication to crafting high-quality, sustainable spirits that truly stand out on the global stage.

This success follows our 2024 wins, where The Foundry Streetlight Single Malt Whiskey claimed Gold and Category Winner, and our soon-to-be-released Foundry Capstan Imperial Stout Whiskey secured Gold and Category Winner in the New Make and Young Spirit category. That means every one of our first four whisky releases has been internationally recognised—a testament to the craftsmanship and innovation behind each bottle.
