Too early make any definitive states on why these people were travelling through NSW, he said. They are being interviewed by Queensland authorities and NSW Health has passed on questions which need to be asked . but a lot more information is still needed.
Hepburn Distillery’s Premium Organic Potato Vodka has won gold representing Australia in the World Vodka Awards.
Owner Basil Eliades said the win was unexpected for the young Lyonville distillery and he was “thrilled to the back teeth”.
“It’s a strange and exciting time,” he told the
Express.
Tasting notes for the winning spirit describe: “strong vegetal notes on the nose and followed on the body” and earthy flavours with “hints of sourness. The earthy flavour persists on the palate and has a very long, distinct finish”.
The celebrated vodka along with the distillery’s first gins were set to launch at the Trentham Spudfest last year before it was cancelled due to pandemic restrictions.
