Australia’s booming craft spirits industry is taking center stage at the International Food & Drink Exhibition (IFE) in London. With over 600 premium distilleries across the country, Australia is gaining global recognition for its innovative and delicious spirits, infused with native botanicals and fresh local produce.
What sets Australian spirits apart are the unique and exotic flavor profiles, achieved through the use of wild-grown, native ingredients. From the cinnamon-scented pepper berries to the tangy finger limes, Australian distilleries are embracing the diverse botanicals found across the country’s varied landscapes, from tropical rainforests to outback deserts.
At the Australia stand (3611), UK retailers and buyers can connect with some of the leading boutique spirit suppliers, including:
