Hungarian spirit won prestigious international award

Mrs Millicent is one of the leading gin trademarks of Hungary. Now, two of its versions have been awarded at the prestigious World Gin Awards.

According to turizmus.com, Mrs Millicent’s “Summereasy” received gold rank and was chosen Hungary’s best in the contemporary gins category. The original “Speakeasy” type got a bronze ranking in the same category.

The Mrs Millicent Speakeasy is a new-wave Hungarian gin containing juniper and a mix of several spice crops and herbs. Among others, it has cardamom, orange and bergamot. The Summereasy gin is a citrus version of it, having the juice of fruits, resulting in an intensive fresh and strong taste.

The jury of the World Gin Awards recognised that vibrant taste with gold and the award of the best Hungarian contemporary gin. The original Speakeasy is different from traditional gins because of its audacious flavour.
