Melbourne Royal (previously RACV) has been working the Australian Distilled Spirits Awards since 2014 and through that point, it has grow to be some of the prestigious competitions in Australia.
I’ve been a decide for a number of years, and this yr was made a Panel Choose and appointed to the competitors advisory board.
This yr there have been 441 gins entered. And 6 panels of 4 judges to evaluate them.
The standard of the gins entered will get greater yearly and is testiment to the talents of our gin producers.
Particular congratulations to Naught Distillery who picked up the Champion Victorian Gin for the third consecutive yr, Puss & Mew Distillery who received Victorian Distiller of the 12 months, and Prohibition Liquor Firm who have been awarded Australian Distillery of the 12 months.
Imperial Measures Distilling have been awarded a Certificates of Excellence for his or her Daring Gin. That is given to gins who obtain a gold medal three years in a row.
