A small independent distillery in Warwickshire has won global recognition for a new spiced blended rum.
Warwickshire Gin Company's The Pugilist, a new rum launched last September, won a bronze in the International Wine and Spirits Competition 2022 (IWSC2022) while The Philosopher's Daughter, one of several gins made by the Leamington-based craft distillery, also won a bronze.
The Pugilist - which is a lesser used term for a professional boxer - was inspired by 1950s boxer Randolph Turpin from Leamington Spa.
