Thirsty Group has released Baxter Australian Vodka, made with a blend of sugarcane, grain and no additives, with a crisp taste and a slightly sweet finish.

Thirsty Group founder and MD Jake Gautreaux said Baxter Vodka was born when they were ‘short on capital but brimming with ambition’.

“It's amazing to think back to when we first had the idea for Baxter, tinkering with recipes and profiles with no real experience at the time.

The response has been great for such a young and small distillery trying to give it a go without the resources of the big guys,” said Gautreaux.

Thirsty Group's portfolio of premium Australian spirits includes Baxter Vodka, alongside Aubrey Liqueurs, Burn City Spiced Rum, Truepenny Gin, and more.

Baxter Vodka is available nationwide at Liquorland, First Choice and other leading liquor stores for RRP 700mL: $49.00

APCO has released a nine-point Policy Platform proposing national settings for packaging design, labelling, recycled content and producer fees, as governments consider what reform can proceed under the existing framework.

A group of 190 Coles investors is calling on the supermarket group to disclose its plastic packaging footprint and set a reduction target, following Woolworths’ first publication of a plastic-intensity figure.
