Yackandandah's Backwoods Distilling Co Takes Gold at World Whiskies Awards 2024

In a momentous achievement for local craftsmanship, Yackandandah's very own Backwoods Distilling Co has seized Gold and a Category Award for its Rye Whisky at the esteemed World Whiskies Awards 2024. This remarkable feat propels the distillery into contention for the prestigious title of Best Rye Whisky in the World.

Crafted with locally sourced grains, Backwoods' Rye Whisky embodies the rich heritage of our land, earning well-deserved recognition on the global stage. This isn't the first time Backwoods has claimed such an honour, having also secured the award in 2022.

        

Established by the dedicated couple Bree and Leigh Attwood in 2017, the distillery boasts an impressive collection of accolades, with its single malt whisky previously clinching the top trophy for best single malt at the Australian Distilled Spirits Awards.

In addition to their award-winning whiskies, Backwoods offers a delightful range of gins. Their inviting tasting room offers visitors the chance to indulge in tasting paddles of spirits or enjoy a selection of cocktails, beer, and wine from a seasonal menu. For those seeking a snack to accompany their drinks, a DIY platter fridge is readily available.
