Among the prestigious accolades presented at the 12th annual ceremony, CFB was honoured with two awards. The highlight of the evening for us being named the 2024 Most Improved Supplier of the Year. This award is determined by the largest change in rank from all suppliers as rated by retailers and wholesalers in the Engagement Program facilitated by the Drinks Association’s Corporate Partner, Advantage Australia. It was introduced to the Australian Drinks Awards in 2018 to celebrate suppliers who have successfully set and executed a plan of improvement and have been acknowledged by retailers for improving their professionalism and delivery across all areas of their commercial relationships. In addition to the Supplier Awards, the Australian Drinks Awards also recognised outstanding brands across 41 categories, categorised as Fan Favourites and Gaining in Popularity. Notably, Vodka& was honoured with the Gaining in Popularity award in the White Spirits category. Congratulations to all the award winners and thank you to The Drinks Association for hosting a fantastic event.

We’re proud to announce the completed renovation of our iconic Cellar Door and Whisky Distillery at Morris of Rutherglen, which combines the worlds of exquisite, fortified wine and Australian single malt whisky in one place. Nestled in the heart of Rutherglen in North-East Victoria, the site has been transformed into a modern and educational place for fine wine and whisky enthusiasts alike, while maintaining the rich history that is integral to our story. The revitalised space includes a new bar and tasting room, landscaped gardens as well as the opportunity for a whisky and wine immersion that weaves through the ancient barrel-house to the heart of the distillery where you can view the beautifully restored 1930s copper still. Morris might just be the only cellar door in the world where you can try a full flight of whisky expressions alongside the award-winning fortified wines that influenced them. We hope to see you there.
