Gattertop Drinks: 2024 Year in Review

As 2024 comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on what has been a truly extraordinary year for Gattertop Drinks. From record-breaking moments to exciting collaborations and prestigious achievements, this year has been one for the books. None of it would have been possible without your continued support, and we’re so grateful to share these milestones with you. Let’s dive into the highlights of the year:

A Record-Breaking Start to the Year

January marked an incredible milestone for us as our No12 Damson Liqueur was featured on BBC's Saturday Kitchen Live as part of their Try January segment. We were highlighted for being a sustainable, British, independent brand—values that are at the heart of everything we do at Gattertop Drinks. The feature introduced hundreds of new customers to our award-winning No12, damson liqueur, driving a record-breaking start to 2024. To all who discovered us through this spotlight, thank you for joining us on our journey to bring the best of British countryside to your glass.

Lights, Camera, Cocktails: London Critics’ Circle Film Awards

For the second consecutive year, Gattertop Drinks was the main drinks sponsor at the London Critics’ Circle Film Awards. This year, we partnered with Double Dutch Drinks to create three bespoke cocktails inspired by the nominated films: the vibrant Royal Barbie, the sophisticated Oppenheimer Fusion, and the timeless Anatomy of a Highball. These exclusive creations brought a touch of Gattertop elegance to A-list guests and celebrated the artistry of cinema in true style.

Taking Our Drinks on the Road

This year, we transformed our presence at events, evolving from selling bottles to serving bespoke cocktails. By bringing our spirits to life through expertly crafted drinks, we created memorable experiences for attendees. These moments allowed us to connect with you in a whole new way, showcasing the versatility and creativity of our award-winning spirits.

A Prestigious Partnership: Berry Bros. & Rudd

One of our proudest moments this year was becoming stocked at Berry Bros. & Rudd, Britain’s oldest and most prestigious wine and spirits merchant. To see our bottles sitting alongside the finest spirits in the world, in a shop that has been trading since 1698, is an honour we’ll never forget. We’re particularly thrilled to be part of their newly opened Spirits Shop, where quality and heritage reign supreme.

Shaking Things Up at Imbibe

At Imbibe, we had the privilege of hosting a cocktail lounge alongside the talented Anthony Peart and Jonathan Kleeman. Mixing up seasonal cocktails and offering an exclusive sneak peek of our Vodka No1, the feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive. This event further cemented our passion for innovation and bringing unique experiences to the drinks world.

Culinary Adventures at Ashcombe Estate

In a stunning collaboration with Wild Kitchen and Carousel, we joined forces at Guy Ritchie’s Ashcombe Estate for a series of gourmet weekends. With cocktails like the “Damhattan” and a reimagined Negroni, our spirits complemented an unforgettable dining experience. This partnership highlighted our commitment to celebrating British flavours and sustainable ingredients.

Big Feastival: Our Biggest Event Yet

This summer, we took things to the next level with our mega tipi vodka bar at The Big Feastival. With handcrafted cocktails, live DJ sets, and activities for all ages, we brought the Gattertop spirit to life in a way that was bigger and better than ever before. Everyones energy and enthusiasm made this an absolutely unforgettable weekend.

B Corp Certification

Perhaps our proudest achievement this year was becoming a Certified B Corporation. This certification reflects our commitment to social and environmental care, transparency, and accountability. From sustainable practices to preserving local habitats, we’re proud to join a global movement of businesses striving for a better future.

Launching Vodka No1

On National Vodka Day, we proudly launched Vodka No1, a premium British vodka. Crafted with British grain, repurposed steeped damsons from Damson Nº12, and organic windfall apples, Vodka No1 reflects our deep commitment to sustainability.

More than just a spirit, Vodka No1 brings balance and depth to our range, unifying our collection of award-winning British vodkas. Its luxurious, silky mouthfeel makes it perfect for sipping on the rocks or elevating your favourite cocktails. Every bottle tells a story of sustainability and purpose, reinforcing our dedication to creating drinks that taste exceptional while making a positive impact on the planet.

Triple Success at the Vodka Masters

All three of our vodkas earned Silver Medals at the 2024 Spirits Business Vodka Masters. Competing against entries from 69 companies worldwide, this recognition underscores the craftsmanship and quality that define Gattertop Drinks. We’re proud to see our spirits celebrated on a global stage.

A Record-Breaking Year

As we reflect on 2024, it’s clear that this has been our most remarkable year yet. To every customer, partner, and supporter—thank you. Every single sale, every shared cocktail, and every moment of feedback means the world to us as a small business. Your support allows us to keep growing, innovating, and bringing the best of the British countryside to your glass.

Here’s to an even brighter 2025—we can’t wait to show you what’s next!
