In November, Australian Distillers President, Holly Klintworth, and Treasurer/Secretary, Stephen Parry met with the Chair of Spirits & Cocktails Australia, to discuss the MOU between the two associations.

Both parties agreed the document is fit-for-purpose but that enhancements could be made to better describe appropriate behaviour and conduct between the parties when embarking on joint activities. The Chief Executive of Australian Distillers and Spirits & Cocktails Australia will prepare a draft annexure to the agreement for approval at the first meeting of each Board in 2024.
