Botanical Symphony, the luxury Tuscan gin brand founded by Natacha Fazal-Karim and produced by Stellina S.r.l., is proud to announce that both of its signature expressions have been awarded Bronze Medals at the prestigious International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) 2026.
The recognition includes:
- Botanical Symphony London Dry Gin – 87 Points
- Botanical Symphony Navy Gin – 86 Points
Recognised globally as one of the world’s most respected competitions for wines and spirits, the International Wine & Spirit Competition evaluates entries through rigorous blind tasting and technical assessment conducted by leading industry experts.
The awards are particularly meaningful because the spirits are judged solely on what is in the glass. The judges do not evaluate the brand story, packaging, marketing, or producer reputation, allowing quality and craftsmanship to speak for themselves.
Founded by entrepreneur and hospitality visionary Natacha Fazal-Karim, Botanical Symphony was created to transform every sip into an immersive journey through the biodiversity, beauty, and wonder of Tuscany. Inspired by the region’s botanicals, birds, insects, landscapes, and changing seasons, the brand combines artistic storytelling with traditional craftsmanship to create a distinctive luxury gin experience.
Production is entrusted to Stellina S.r.l., whose expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to quality have helped bring the Botanical Symphony vision to life.
“From the beginning, Botanical Symphony was never intended to be just another gin,” says Natacha Fazal-Karim, Founder of Botanical Symphony.
“It was created as an invitation to explore, to discover, and to reconnect with the beauty of the natural world through all the senses. What makes this recognition especially meaningful is that it was earned through blind tasting. The judges experienced neither our story nor our design. They experienced only the quality of the spirit itself. For a young brand, that validation is incredibly rewarding and a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication of the Stellina team who bring every bottle to life.”
Positioned as a luxury, artistic, and nature-inspired gin, Botanical Symphony seeks to redefine premium spirits through a combination of rare botanicals, masterful craftsmanship, immersive storytelling, and sensory exploration.
The IWSC 2026 recognition marks an important milestone in the brand’s journey and further establishes Botanical Symphony as an emerging name within the world of premium and luxury gin.
As consumers increasingly seek authentic craft spirits with a strong sense of place and purpose, Botanical Symphony offers a distinctive expression of Tuscany where nature, artistry, and craftsmanship exist in harmony.
