2019 World's Best Brandy Is a Convict Made by Waterview

Waterview Distillery Bundaberg has won the World’s Best Brandy award for Australia Best for the second time in a row – 2018 and 2019.

 

Bundaberg, Queensland -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/09/2019 -- Waterview Distillery Bundaberg is pleased to announce that its ultimate brandy, Convict, has been awarded the 2019 Worlds Best Brandy for Australia's Best. This award came on the back of the premium spirit winning the "Australia's Best Brandy in 2018". This is the second win in arrow, which is pointer to the Waterviews' Convict Brandy is here to stay.

Commenting on the award, company re-founder Matthew Drane said, "Waterview's Convict Brandy has already proven itself in global awards. What's exciting now is to be able to give the spirit a home. All of the Waterview 'limited release' products have had an association with a geographical region or town. An example would be our Whale Tail Vodka, which is the spirit of Fraser Coast / Hervey Bay as we get water from an aquifer on Fraser Island."

Distilled and Aged in Bundaberg but perfectly blended by 40% Bundaberg Spirit and 60% Port Macquarie Convict Water, Convict by Waterview is a prime example of a great brandy, shaking off the image of an old-fashioned drink.

World Best Brandy Awards are the global awards selecting the very best in all the international recognized styles, award and promote the world's best brandy to consumers and trade across the globe. Such recognition from the reputable body is regarded as the most respected and sought after in the distillery industry, due to the stringent nature of the judging process. Winning The World Brandy Awardsis an outstanding achievement and illustrates a distiller's commitment to quality and innovation through its spirits.

The World Brandy Awards involves Judges blindly tasting each brandy. First, the best in each category and style were chosen and gold, silver and bronze medals awarded. In the second round, each category winner was then tasted against others to find the World's Best. Following the final tasting on the 18th of April in London, Convict by Waterview emerged the winner and becomes the "World's Best Brandy, 2019."

"We won 'Australia's Best in 2018' and hoped that we would again, in 2019, at least win 'Australia's Best Brandy'. Instead, with the PH and mineral levels in the well water from Port Macquarie, we won "World'sBest Brandy". Not bad for a little craft distillery out of Bundaberg," joked Mr.Drane with a wink.

Mr.Drane said, "The beauty of our brand is that there is nothing better of more coveted than a beautiful 'Water View' and who has a better one than Port Macquarie. So with all these little coincidences as well as falling in love in the place on a trip through buying distilling column and other equipment what else could I do other than make Waterview's Convict Brandy the 'Spirit of Port Macquarie'. After all, 60% of the entry's water is convict water and was created there long before we crafted with it."

Convict Brandy winning the 2019 World's Best Brandy award in addition to its previous award in 2018 is a phenomenal accomplishment. Little wonder why it is tagged,"convicts the ultimate gangster."
