Melbourne-based rye whisky distillery, The Gospel, has created a rich new liqueur ready for festive drink-making – Spiced Blackberry Rye.

The Gospel has collaborated with fellow distillers, Marionette Liqueur, in a partnership formed from a shared mission to produce local, independently made products, and an aim to create a quality liqueur that celebrates an Australian expression at its best.

Made under the distillery’s Dispensary line, which features experimental spirits made for the Gospel staff, Spiced Blackberry Rye is a rich, whiskey-based blackberry liqueur.

The Gospel stated the liqueur celebrates its rye character, balanced with local blackberries and spices, resulting in a burst of rich blackberry, earthy nuances and warm yuletide flavours.

Made for mixing, Spiced Blackberry Rye is intended to be enjoyed around friends and family in upcoming festive celebrations. It is now available online at thegospelwhiskey.com for RRP $45.00.

Packaging News

The World Packaging Organisation has named 234 winners for the WorldStar Packaging Awards 2026, which were selected from 481 entries submitted across 36 countries.

ACOR is calling on the Government to urgently introduce packaging reforms or risk the collapse of Australia’s plastic recycling sector and face millions of tonnes of plastic waste polluting the environment.

As 2025 draws to a close, it is clear the packaging sector has undergone one of its most consequential years in over a decade. Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.
