Thrilled to share the news that I've joined Saint Felix Distillery as Assistant Distiller and Customer Experience Manager.

Gin will always be special to me as it's given me so many opportunities, but now I get to delve into the world of other spirits with one of the best Australian distillers (and all round good bloke), Xavier Nalty as my teacher.

2024 is off to a cracking start!

Melbourne Royal's Australian Distilled Spirits Awards winners were announced last night. As a panel judge and a member of the competition advisory board it's one of my favourite competitions to be involved in (yes, I might be biased!). The quality of entries this year was incredible.

Congratulations to all who entered in particular Special Naught Gin who picked up the Champion Victorian Gin for the 3rd consecutive year, Puss and Mew Distillery who won Victorian Distiller of the Year, and Prohibition Liquor Co who were awarded Australian Distillery of the Year..

Imperial Measures Distilling were awarded a Certificate of Excellence for their Bold Gin. This is given to gins who receive a gold medal three years in a row.

Melbourne Royal has been running the Australian Distilled Spirits Awards since 2014 and it has become the most prestigious competition in Australia.

My podcast The Kindred Spirit Podcast hits 20 episodes this week!

Have you give it a listen? I've been lucky enough to interview the likes of Desmond Payne and Lesley Gracie as well as some of the best local distillers.

As I'm covering more spirits than gin, I'm also learning heaps! (I've discovered a love of rye whiskey!)

Available for download wherever you get your podcasts. You can also check out a full list of all the episodes here:
