London Distillers Kenya (LDK) earned top honors at the 2022 Monde Selection Quality Awards, with Safari Rare Whisky winning Gold and Kenya King Gin securing Silver. The awards followed previous acclaim in 2021 for LDK's flagship products, including Safari Cane and Old Cask Rum, which met international quality standards.
Managing Director Avin Galot highlighted the company's commitment to quality, citing rigorous research and development processes that maintain high standards across its 25+ brands. Established in 1985, LDK distributes global labels like Jack Daniels and Bombay Sapphire while producing local favorites such as Safari Cane and Old Cask Rum.
The Monde Selection Institute, based in Belgium, evaluates products through taste and quality assessments. Safari Rare Whisky was praised for its caramel, vanilla, and woody notes, while Kenya King Gin impressed with its juniper-forward profile and citrus undertones. The awards, comparable to hotel star ratings and Michelin distinctions, recognize excellence in food, drinks, and cosmetics.
LDK's achievements align with growing consumer demand for sustainable, ethically produced beverages. The company emphasizes maintaining premium quality at affordable prices for Kenyan consumers.
