Awards

There are many reasons we’re the extremely proud recipients of more awards than almost any other Australian distillery, and we certainly don’t take these multiple honours lightly. We are always looking to innovate our products and introduce new Australian-grown botanicals to small-batch products. We think it’s this clear vision which keeps working such magic at spirit and distilling awards around the world; The West Winds Distillers just do it better than almost anybody else.

All of this would be for nothing however if we didn’t regularly give you, dear gin lover, the very best product crafted right here in the heart of the Margaret River region. And for your support, which means more than all those shiny awards, we humbly thank you.
