We are celebrating a major win, taking home Best NZ Spirit, Best in Class – Classic Gin, and a Gold Medal – Classic Gin, for its flagship Juno Extra Fine Gin at the 2025 Super Spirits Awards.
Hosted by Super Liquor, the Super Spirits Awards marks a new chapter in recognising the country’s best gin, whiskey, and rum – combining what were previously The Junipers, The Drammies, and The Rummies into one nationally judged awards platform.
Judged by a panel of three expert spirits judges, entries were evaluated both within their category and across all classes to determine the overall Best NZ Spirit.
“This is a huge honour,” says Jo James, Co-Founder of Juno Distillery. “To be recognised by industry experts, and to win across multiple levels – including the top title – is incredibly validating. It’s a proud moment for our team and for New Zealand craft distilling.”
Juno Extra Fine Gin, made using New Zealand-grown botanicals and pure mountain water, continues to be a standout in the gin world. With over 15 national and international accolades under its belt, it’s firmly established as one of the country’s most celebrated and widely enjoyed gins.
Available nationwide at Super Liquor stores and online, Juno Extra Fine is proudly crafted in New Plymouth, and represents the bold, balanced spirit of Aotearoa.
