Tempt Gin Wins Gold Medal at the Miami Global Spirits Awards — Celebrating Miami Craftsmanship

Tempt Gin is proud to announce that it has been awarded a Gold Medal at the inaugural 2025 Miami Global Spirits Awards. The official announcement was made in July 2025. This recognition highlights Tempt Gin’s dedication to local craftsmanship, innovation, flavor, and quality.

The Miami Global Spirits Awards is a prestigious event dedicated to celebrating the finest spirits produced around the world. Judged by a panel including Distilled Spirits Professionals, revered Journalists, Trade Experts, Distributors, and Influential Buyers, the competition emphasizes authenticity, flavor, and cultural significance. Tempt Gin’s achievement underscores its status as a standout super-premium craft spirit rooted in the Eldred Brothers’ rich traditions.

What sets Tempt Gin apart is its old-world approach. Instead of simply blending botanicals, Tempt Gin uses its corn-based neutral spirit as a foundation, following a compound maceration method where science and culinary artistry marry to create greatness. This process macerates the botanicals to preserve natural flavors and deliver a uniquely aromatic, smooth, and opulent gin experience. As a product conceived and hand-crafted in Miami, this award carries special meaning for the brand and reinforces its commitment to local flavor and craftsmanship.

“We are honored to receive this recognition from the Miami Global Spirits Awards,” said Flynn and Wayne Eldred, founders of Tempt Gin. “This award is a testament to our passion for celebrating Miami’s rich culture through our tropical-focused gin and our dedication to quality and innovation. We’re proud that our small-batch process, using traditional maceration of herbs and botanicals, creates Tempt Gin’s unique flavor, which adapts beautifully to a wide variety of creative cocktails. As a result, Tempt has been championed by bartenders and mixologists in some of Miami’s most innovative bars and restaurants. We thank the judges for this honor”.

This accolade further establishes Tempt Gin as a leading super-premium gin in Miami and reinforces its mission to deliver an authentic, high-quality spirit that embodies the essence of the city.
