After the overwhelming popularity of the inaugural Aussie Whisky Buyer’s Guide, submissions are now open for the second edition, which continues to shine a spotlight on the exceptional quality, diversity, and innovation found in local whiskies.
As more and more Aussie whiskies hit the market, this exclusive guide is designed to support Australian drinks professionals – buyers, retailers, bartenders, and distributors – by offering expert insights into this evolving, world-class category.
With submissions now open, get your brand front and centre in what will be the industry’s go-to resource for navigating the Aussie whisky landscape.
All whiskies will be blind tasted by a panel of industry experts, including spirits educators, judges, bartenders, and journalists. All entries scoring 80 or above will be featured in the guide with in-depth tasting notes, category highlights, and tailored buying advice.
Date of publication: Early August 2025
