Derwent Distillery not only received first place at this year’s Clean and Conscious Awards for the second year in a row, but second place as well. The Clean and Con­scious Awards celebrate safe and socially responsible products. Derwent Distillery’s Last Sanctuary Gin won Silver for Best Spirit/Seltzer, while their Single Malt Whisky received Gold.

“It means a lot to see the extra care we put into our whiskies, gins and liqueurs being recognised,” says Emma Gilligan from Derwent Distillery. “Being able to share the spotlight with organisations that we support, like The Handfish Conservation Project and Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, and help shine a light on their important work made the win even more meaningful.”

The judges not only loved the distillery’s sustainability initiatives but also highlight­ed their community collaborations. “Recog­nition on this scale gives us the momentum to keep growing, evolving and proudly put­ting Dromedary on the map,” says Emma. “Most importantly, it encourages us to keep spreading the word about the value of low-waste products and conscious choices.”
