Narrabri distillers win silver medal at London Spirits Competition 2021 Via Narrabri Courier PR
Black Snake Distillery win silver medal at London Spirits Competition 2021.
Three years ago, Narrabri couple Rosemary Smith and Stephen Beale added a new dimension to their lives and launched a distillery at their Kaputar Road property.
They began distilling gin at their licenced Black Snake Distillery and after a suggestion from Stephen’s daughter, Phillipa Beale, moved into production of a new product, agave spirit, which was distilled from plants growing on their block.
Agave spirit is in the Mexican tradition of tequila and mezcal. ASp – an Australian ‘first’ – was launched at Nosh Narrabri in 2019.
Now, the couple’s commitment to producing the best spirits they can has been capped with success with the award of a silver medal at the prestigious annual London Spirits Competition.
The couple’s entry, Reposado, is a style made from the agave plants and aged from two to 11 months in oak barrels.
