The results are in from the 2026 Australian International Distilled Spirits Awards, and we’re excited to share that three of our signature range spirits have been recognised.

🥇 Gold – Single Malt Whisky, Shiraz Barrels
🥇 Gold – Rye Whisky, Shiraz Barrels
🥈 Silver – Blood Orange & Bush Honey Gin

It’s another Gold for both of our Shiraz Barrel whiskies, following their success on the international stage earlier this year. Safe to say… these two are on a bit of a winning streak.

Whether you’re a whisky lover or a gin drinker, there’s never been a better time to discover what Australian craft spirits are all about.

A huge thank you to everyone who continues to support our little distillery in Yackandandah. Every bottle you buy helps us keep doing what we love. ❤️

A crowd favourite and an award winner, Malt'n Lava Red IPA is our Autumn seasonal, offering a refined taste and an explosive brand new can design to match.

The deep red copper indicates a big malty backbone showcasing eight (yes eight!) different malts!

At 7.0% ABV, flavours of dark caramel, toffee and raisin are evident, combined with a big hop profile, notes of grapefruit and dare we say it... cannabis!

This beer finishes with a robust bitterness, is well balanced and full of flavour. Hold this one up to the light of the fire and drink it in.

This one is a Gold Medal Winner at the 2024 Indies and the 2025 AIBAs. Grab it on tap and in cans now!
