Devil’s Grin Texas Gin Wins Top Honors at 2025 American Distilling Institute (ADI) Awards
Trinity River Distillery is proud to announce that our Devil’s Grin Texas Gin has taken home multiple prestigious awards at the 2025 Devil's Grin Gin
​
• America's Greatest Gin 2025 – Best of Class – Distilled – Gin
• Best of Category – Distilled – Contemporary Gin
• Gold Medal
• Shortlist for America's Greatest London Dry Gin
• Excellence in Packaging
​
These accolades solidify Devil’s Grin Gin as one of America’s favorite gins, distinguishing it as a standout spirit in both contemporary and London Dry styles—an extraordinary accomplishment for a handcrafted gin made deep in the heart of Texas. Distilled with intention and innovation, Devil’s Grin Gin is crafted using a unique infusion process. Fourteen botanicals—sourced from Texas and around the world—are added in a carefully timed sequence to coax out bold, bright flavors.
The result is a gin that’s as approachable as it is complex: Three Styles. One Sip. This gin begins with the tones of a classic London Dry— woodsy pine and mellowed cedar set the stage. As it opens up, vibrant West Coast character joins with a balance of bright citrus and soft floral notes. Then, just when you think you've got it figured out, it eases into a warm Southern finish—earthy roots and a hint of sweet Texas soul round out the journey."This isn't a gin to fit in, but a gin to give you an unexpected adventure in flavor”, said Master Distiller Brett Luchesi, “We created Devil’s Grin Gin to be something different, something that turns expectations on their head while still being versatile and incredibly drinkable. These awards are a huge honor and a testament to the craftsmanship behind every drop.”
