Western Australia’s The Tailor Made Spirits Company is launching Avosh Vodka, a new spirit distilled from Australian wheat.

Adding to The West Winds Gin in The Tailor Made Spirits portfolio of brands, Avosh will launch with two varieties – an original, unflavoured vodka, as well as an Australian Bottlebrush Honey vodka – which undergo six distillations in the process.

“We are passionate about quality and the rich Australian produce we’re surrounded by,” said The Tailor Made Spirits distiller Anthony Reynolds.

“We wanted to create a spirit that showcased how combining uniquely Australian ingredients in the distillation process leads to a premium vodka with body, complexity and a smooth mouthfeel.”

The Tailor Made Sprits team plans to explore more Australian flavour for future releases.

Avosh Australian Premium Vodka and Australian Bottlebrush Honey Vodka will be distributed through Stuart Alexander.

Packaging News

New European rules on generic environmental claims have prompted the Australasian Bioplastics Association to warn that packaging carrying poorly substantiated claims could be marketed in Australia.

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.
