Gin from Adelaide named world’s best

The Adelaide Hills Distillery’s 78 Degrees Gin was awarded the Best International Gin at the American Distilling Institute Awards held last night in Baltimore, Maryland U.S.A.

Apart from this award, judges also awarded the gin a double gold medal.

The awards add to others won by Adelaide Hills Distillery, which took out gold in last year’s San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Artisans in a growing craft spirit industry, the company is planning to open a new distillery later this year as part of the Premium Adelaide Hills Beverage Experience.

“We started out making 78 Degrees Gin and have moved on to creating some other amazing small batch spirits like our Gunnery Australian Spiced White Rum and The Italian, a Campari style spirit, as well as some really unique trial batches and collaborations – but it’s fantastic to see that our original 78 Degrees Gin is now considered to be one of the best in the world” said Sacha La Forgia, Head Distiller and Founder.

“I don’t really like to pick favourites, but this one’s a no brainer really. We use a really unique blend of botanicals and individually vapour infuse each of them. We are just thankful that the judges saw how good the gin coming out of South Australia and the Adelaide Hills really is.

“The future is exciting for us and we have embarked on an intensive Australian Native Botanical Program as well.”
