Dram you, Dan. Only months after the Victorian premier championed the cause of Australian-distilled whisky, at the tourism-dependent Corowa Distillery Company, slap bang on the closed NSW and Victoria border, they re over a barrel again.
Keen viewers of Dan Andrews epic press conferences will recall that to mark the end of the extended Melbourne COVID-19 lockdown the premier declared he would be reaching for a celebratory tipple higher up the shelf .
That evening he posted on social media a photo of two shot glasses next to a Starward Distillery bottle, appropriately a Melbourne-based label and one of Australia s best-selling drops.
