The Grainshaker distilling team are raising a glass of the good stuff once again with Grainshaker the highest ranked Australian vodkaat the International Wines and Spirits Competition in London.
Grainshaker Wheat Vodka scored 98 points and received an Outstanding Gold medal from the independent panel of global industry experts to lead all Australian vodkas, with judges hailing it as a “versatile and stylish spirit” with smoothness and character.
Grainshaker Wheat was one of just four Australian spirits to score 98 points across the entire spirits category!
“I can’t believe our local vodka, made in Campbellfield in Victoria, is the equal third highest-rated vodka in the entire world. It’s just amazing,” TSI Master Distiller, Sebastian Reaburn, said.
“To be recognised on the global stage in both vodka and whisky categories is something worth celebrating. As it happens we’ve got just the spirits for the occasion.”
Only two vodkas from around the world scored higher than Grainshaker Wheat at the awards recognised as one of the most prestigious and influential global spirits competitions.
All Grainshaker varieties were awarded more than 90 points from the judges, with Corn (92 points) and Rye (91points) receiving silver medals.

Outstanding Gold
Grainshaker Wheat Vodka (98 Points)
"A stylish and versatile spirit. Light in body and gently warming, the palate shows great purity. Fresh citrus notes provides lift and balance amid the creamy mouthfeel. Very smooth offering showing good character on the finish."
Grainshaker Corn Vodka (92 Points)
"This vodka has some notes of popcorn and vanilla on the nose, followed by a creamy palate and particularly rich mouthfeel."
Grainshaker Rye Vodka (91 Points)
"Bubble gum aromas upfront with layers of peach and banana, all of which come through distinctly on the palate. Offers a clean and delicate finish."
