Arak - one of the oldest and most storied spirits - is having a renaissance, and Indonesia is leading the way.

At the SOCraft Awards 2025/26, two remarkable Indonesian Araks earned their moment in the spotlight, honouring generations of tradition while redefining what this indigenous spirit can be in today’s world.

Ark (.spirits)brings a vibrant, tropical energy to the glass - fresh, earthy, and perfect for bold, modern cocktails, while Indoestri Teluk Saba Marak ()leans into a richer, more indulgent profile, with soft floral notes and a warm, lingering complexity that’s hard to forget.

These aren’t just spirits - they’re cultural stories in a glass.

Meet our TOP Green Ring Winner - Dunedin Craft Distillers (), the sustainability trailblazer that’s redefining what it means to craft consciously.

At the SOCraft Awards, sustainability isn’t a side note - it’s a core judging criteria, and Dunedin blew us away. From transforming surplus bread into premium gin, to using 700ml ClimatePartner certified bottles made from 70% recycled glass with vinolok stoppers, they’ve created a closed-loop system that’s as innovative as it is impactful.

♻️ Compostable labels made from sugar cane waste
🐄 Leftover mash goes to feed local dairy herds
⚡ Powered by 100% renewable energy
🪱 Distillery waste even feeds worms!

This isn’t just craft, it’s craft with conscience. Huge kudos to the team at Dunedin Craft Distillers for showing us the future of sustainable spirits.

This year’s SOCraft Awards saw one country shine bright across the board - New Zealand, taking home the most wins by country!

From lush pastures to rugged coastlines, Aotearoa has long been home to makers who respect the land and craft with heart. This year’s winners are proof that Kiwi ingenuity, sustainability, and a deep connection to whenua (land) are shaping the next generation of spirits.

Here’s to the incredible spirit of Aotearoa - bold, clean, and unapologetically forward-thinking.
