We are beyond excited to share that Backwoods Distilling Co. has been awarded the prestigious Champion Victorian Distiller title at the 2024 Australian Distilled Spirits Awards! This incredible recognition highlights the craftsmanship, passion, and dedication that go into every bottle we produce.

Gold Awards and a Silver Trophy

At this year's awards, we received Gold for our Salted Lime Gin, which also won the Best Citrus Gin category. Our High Country Gin was also awarded Gold, solidifying its place as one of our standout creations. We’re also incredibly proud that our Single Malt Muscat Cask earned Silver, rounding out our impressive lineup of award-winning spirits.

Champion Victorian Distiller Award

The ultimate honour of Champion Victorian Distiller was given to us based on the highest combined score from these top three entries. This award signifies not just our individual successes, but our overall commitment to excellence, quality, and innovation in every spirit we craft.
