We’re absolutely 'buzzing' here at Wildflower Gin, and we’ve got some fantastic news to share—our Navy Strength Gin just snagged the trophy in the Over-Proof category at the Australian Gin Awards! And let’s be real, this victory is a bit sweeter because it’s the very first gin crafted by our incredible distiller, Edward.
Now, let us tell you a little about Edward. He didn’t start out as a master distiller; in fact, he began his journey with us as a bar manager. But Edward’s curiosity and passion for craft spirits were impossible to miss. So, when the opportunity came to learn the art of distilling, he jumped in headfirst, trading in his cocktail shaker for a copper still. And boy, are we glad he did!
Edward poured his heart, soul, and a fair bit of sweat into creating this Navy Strength Gin. It’s got everything you’d want from an over-proof gin—bold juniper and a punch of spice. A gin that’s not just strong in spirit, but strong in character, much like the man who made it.
And here’s a fun fact: We’re pretty sure Edward isn’t just a winning distiller; he might just be Australia’s tallest distiller! Standing at 6.9ft, he’s a big guy with an even bigger talent. Whether he’s towering over the still or crafting a new recipe, Edward’s presence is as mighty as the gin he creates.
Winning this trophy is a huge deal for us, but especially for Edward. It’s his first creation, and it’s already making waves. We’ve known all along that Edward had something special up his sleeve, but now the rest of Australia knows it too!
So, here’s to Edward, our distilling wizard, and to all of you who’ve supported us from day one. We couldn’t have done it without your cheers (and let’s be honest, your thirst for a good gin). Next time you pour yourself a Wildflower Navy Strength Gin, raise a glass to Edward—he’s earned it!
Cheers to more trophies, more great gin, and more stories to share. Stay wild, and keep sipping!
