Taha Distillery has been recognized among the TOP 100 Premium Wine & Spirits Brands of the World 2026, highlighting an Australian distillery whose identity is shaped by South Pacific ingredients, regional sourcing, and a distinctive interpretation of contemporary gin.

Founded by brothers Logan and Andre Howe, Tahā Distillery is based in Australia’s- Tweed Heads, New South Wales, where it creates spirits inspired by the landscapes, botanicals and diverse flavours of Australia, Aotearoa (New Zealand) and the wider South Pacific.

Led by co-founder and Head Distiller Logan Howe, the distillery takes a contemporary approach to traditional spirits, combining craftsmanship with native ingredients to create fresh, balanced and distinctive flavour profiles.

At the heart of its portfolio is Ocean Gin, a signature South Pacific-style gin featuring Australian Lemon Myrtle and native New Zealand Kawakawa. Unlike traditional London Dry expressions, Ocean Gin offers a vibrant, refreshing character designed to appeal to both gin enthusiasts and those discovering gin for the first time.

The distillery’s broader Pacific Collection includes Forest Gin, featuring native Australian citrus botanicals, and Island Vodka, infused with Strawberry Gum and Desert Lime. The portfolio also extends to small-batch barrel-aged rum, distinctive citrus and coffee liqueurs, and premium mid-strength ready-to-drink beverages.

Crafted in the Tweed Valley, Tahā Distillery embraces regional sourcing, seasonal ingredients and strong relationships with local growers and producers. Its cellar door, bar and distillery experiences further connect visitors with the people, ingredients and inspiration behind the brand.

Recognition among the world’s Top 100 Premium Wine & Spirits Brands marks an important milestone for the independent Australian distillery as it continues to expand its presence nationally and explore opportunities in international markets, particularly throughout the Asia-Pacific region.

With a growing portfolio and a clear vision for the future, Tahā Distillery remains committed to creating premium Australian spirits that celebrate the unique flavours and spirit of the South Pacific.

Honoring the recognition, Alexander Chetchikov, President of the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce, said: “Taha Distillery presents a clear sense of place through its use of regional botanicals and its interpretation of South Pacific gin. By allowing local ingredients, seasonality, and producer relationships to shape the final spirit, the brand brings an authentic regional perspective to the international premium spirits landscape. Its inclusion among the TOP 100 reflects the growing global relevance of brands with a strong and clearly defined origin.”

The Luxury Lifestyle Awards TOP 100 recognizes notable brands from across the international luxury sector, highlighting those whose work demonstrates distinctive identity, quality, and relevance within their respective fields. Taha Distillery’s inclusion in the 2026 selection brings its South Pacific-inspired approach to a wider global audience.
