The British Chamber of Commerce Philippines (BCCP), with its partners—event partner: PMFTC, 1834 Premium Gin, and major partner: Ayala Corporation—presents its annual World Gin Day celebration on 26 June 2025 at the Mayuree II Ballroom, Dusit Thani Manila, starting at 6:30 PM.
This networking event brings together the growing gin community—from retailers and distributors to gin enthusiasts. Seven prominent British distilleries—Dunnet Bay Distillers, Eight Lands, G&I Spirit Group Ltd., Masons of Yorkshire, Spirit of Trent, The Cotswolds Distillery, and Whitley Neill Gin—will showcase their catalogues, highlighting the richness of the UK’s gin-making tradition and innovation.
The event structure enables direct engagement between British gins and Philippine market industry players, facilitating discussions around retail positioning strategies, distribution, and market opportunities.
The evening will also feature the 7th Bartending Competition, showcasing local talent while demonstrating practical applications of British gin products in the Philippine hospitality market.
BCCP Executive Chairman Chris Nelson noted, “The British Chamber celebrates World Gin Day annually as a testament to the continuously growing gin market in the Philippines, to which the UK remains a strong partner marked by its craftsmanship and innovation.”
Market indicators suggest favorable conditions for premium gin expansion in both markets. The UK gin industry has experienced consistent growth, with craft distilleries developing innovative botanical profiles and premium positioning strategies. Simultaneously, the Philippine gin market shows increasing consumer interest in premium imported products, particularly among urban demographics with growing disposable income.
Other supporting partners include WhenInManila.com and the British Women’s Association (BWA). This business-focused networking approach reflects the Chamber’s ongoing commitment to facilitating meaningful commercial relationships between UK and Philippine companies in the food & beverage industry.
