Woodford Reserve Among ALIA 2026 Finalists

Week of September 14, 2026

Woodford Reserve Distillery has landed a finalist spot for the 2026 Australian Liquor Industry Awards.

A finalist nod is a nice line on the ledger, but it is not a trophy. The Sentinel will report the winners when the room actually decides something.
