Act of Treason’s success at spirits competitions has continued after it claimed another Gold medal, this time at the Australian Distilled Spirits Awards in Melbourne last night.

Reposado Single Barrel scored gold, with judges describing it as a “great product; a clean and bright spirit, with a smoky hit on the tongue giving way to light honey notes”.

Last night’s gold follows AOT’s Blanco expression sweeping the field at international awards in May. After being denied entry into the tequila category at the World Drinks Awards (the Mexicans won’t let us call it tequila), Act of Treason Blanco claimed a Gold medal and was named the World’s Best Speciality Spirit.

It then followed it up with 2 more golds at competitions in London and San Francisco to complete the trifecta at the big 3 world spirits competition. What makes the achievement more remarkable is that Act of Treason was only launched in January this year.
