http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/thesource ... 08417d1facIT’S official — the world’s best gin is made right here in Adelaide.
78 Degrees gin, created in Nairne by craft distiller Sacha La Forgia, has taken out the top prize for International Gin at the American Distilling Institute Awards, held last night in Baltimore in the US.
“It doesn’t get much bigger than this,” said La Forgia, founder of the Adelaide Hills Distillery, speaking from Maryland.
“There were thousands of entries and we were awarded double gold in our class, best in category and best international gin. We beat out every other competitor.
“Winning best international gin is great, but winning the double gold means all the judges scored it about 95 points.
“There were only five double golds given out in the whole competition, so that was a big thing.”
