Posting on the Scottish Gin Awards website, the team said: "We are pleased to announce new dates for our 2020 Scottish Gin Awards programme, following the impact of the COVID19 pandemic.
"All our events will be staged observing the latest health and safety guidance. Whether our events are live judging sessions, awards dinners or digital broadcasts, we are committed to staging all our competitions throughout 2020.
"While it is pleasing to see some positive signs of return to life, we are of course preparing to be flexible and we are aware that further changes may be required in the months ahead.
"We will continue to operate with the safety of our guests as a number one priority. We are working closely with all our venues to make sure we identify any restrictions or social distancing measures we may need to observe.
"Hopefully, we will see a continually improving picture and a gradual return to the way we work, socialise and network over the next five months."
