Archie Rose Signature Dry Gin Named Australia’s Best Contemporary Gin

Archie Rose is incredibly proud to announce that our foundation spirit, Signature Dry Gin, has been named the Country Winner for Australia in the Contemporary Style Gin category at the prestigious World Gin Awards. Outperforming an incredible field of local entries, this massive recognition officially crowns Signature Dry Gin as Australia's Best Contemporary Gin. This honour celebrates our early vision to redefine the classic dry gin profile using uniquely Australian botanicals.

The World Gin Awards are the global benchmark for recognising the very best spirits in internationally established gin styles. Handled by a rigorous panel of international journalists, distillers, and industry experts, the blind-tasting process ensures that only spirits of impeccable quality and balance rise to the top.

To be named the Country Winner means that out of all the Australian contemporary gins submitted to the competition, Archie Rose’s Signature Dry Gin was chosen as the definitive number one. In a country globally celebrated for its diverse and hyper-competitive craft gin scene, coming out on top is a major milestone that we're incredibly proud of.

Signature Dry Gin is our modern Australian take on a classic dry gin, featuring a distinct, globally acclaimed grain-to-glass mash bill and an innovative cold-distillation setup.
