Australia is greatly known for its high-quality wine production – be it brandy or spirit or gin. But one who wins the race ahead of the pack must be Australian gin! In fact, few gins were awarded gold in the international wine and spirit awards, 2020. Gins have become so popular in Australia due to their unique botanicals that can’t be found anywhere on earth. These are meticulously prepared by the fusion of many wonderful plants. Here are some of the gins that are worth checking out,
