We’re thrilled to share some amazing news—Bright Night Gin has just taken home two prestigious medals at the New Zealand Gin Awards 2024 – further cementing us as one of Australia’s most awarded gins! This was our first time entering this highly competitive event, and we couldn’t be more excited about the results. Here’s a little behind-the-scenes look at our experience, the competition, and what this means for us.
A Tough Field and Big Wins
The New Zealand Gin Awards are renowned for their high standards, attracting top-notch entries from around the world. With strict judging criteria and only a handful of gold medals awarded, the competition is fierce. That’s why taking home not one, but two medals feels like such a massive achievement for us.
Our Wild Tasmanian Gin, which competed in the Contemporary Gin category, was awarded a Silver Medal. This is a huge honor for us, as the category is often stacked with some of the most innovative and highly regarded gins in the industry. To be recognized alongside industry heavyweights is both humbling and exciting!
Our Chardonnay Barrel Aged Gin earned a Bronze Medal, another feather in our cap for this fan-favorite expression. With buttery vanilla notes and hints of caramel, this gin has consistently won hearts—and medals—wherever it’s entered.
Every award matters to us
For us, these awards represent more than just shiny accolades—they’re a testament to the quality and care we pour into every bottle of Bright Night Gin. This recognition at an international level reinforces our commitment to crafting world-class gin using Tasmanian botanicals, sustainably sourced ingredients, and our signature distillation methods.
It’s also a reminder that we’re standing tall in a competitive field, with our Wild Tasmanian Gin now officially recognized as one of the best contemporary gins in the region. And for our Barrel Aged Gin, the Bronze Medal is the perfect way to celebrate its incredible flavor profile before we roll out the next batch.
The Barrel Aged Gin: Limited Stock Alert 🚨
Speaking of our Chardonnay Barrel Aged Gin, here’s the scoop: we’re down to our final bottles! After a hugely successful year, this batch is almost completely sold out. The only way to get your hands on it now is through our Three Peaks Gift Pack, which includes one bottle each of:
- Wild Tasmanian Gin
- Pink Gin
- Chardonnay Barrel Aged Gin
We’re thrilled to announce that bottling for the next batch of our Barrel Aged Gin is about to begin, so stay tuned for updates. If you’ve been eyeing this one, make sure to grab it while you can!
Bright Night Gin’s New Zealand Connection
For us, entering the New Zealand Gin Awards felt like a natural fit. With Tasmania often referred to as the “NZ of Australia,” we’ve always felt a kinship with our Kiwi neighbors. From their love of nature and high-quality produce to their incredible gin scene, there’s so much that connects us.
Being recognized in such a prestigious competition is an honor we deeply appreciate, and it was truly special to see Bright Night Gin hold its own among some of New Zealand’s finest gins.
We are more inspired!
We’re more inspired than ever to continue pushing boundaries and creating gins that stand out on the global stage. This recognition is just the beginning, and we have some exciting releases planned, including the highly anticipated next batch of Barrel Aged Gin. To celebrate this milestone, we’ll be sharing exclusive cocktail recipes featuring our award-winning gins, so keep an eye on our socials and website. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to Bright Night Gin, there’s no better time to stock up and raise a glass to our latest victory. Cheers, New Zealand! 🥂
