From Waiheke to the World: Five Medals at the 2024 USA Spirit Ratings.
Five medals across our gin and vodka range at the prestigious 2024 USA Spirit Ratings — proudly showcasing New Zealand native botanicals.
We're thrilled to announce that our distillery won 5 Medals at the prestigious 2024 USA Spirit Ratings. We entered three gins and two botanical vodkas — and all five won medals.
Silver medals were awarded to Horopito Spice Vodka, Spirit of Waiheke Gin, Kawakawa Summer Vodka and Unchartered Barrel-aged Gin, while Red Ruby Gin took out a Bronze medal.
This fiercely competitive global competition is judged on three criteria — quality, value for money and packaging — where quality is measured on the beverage's appearance, aroma, body, taste and aftertaste.
Proudly showcasing New Zealand native botanicals, this recognition reinforces our commitment to crafting truly considered spirits, rooted in place.
