When we think of the growth of Australian Gin, it’s hard to go past some of the stellar brews being produced in Melbourne. Victorian Gin has been on the rise, gaining a reputation for exciting and unique craft gin distillers.
The popularity of gin is growing, and so is the number of distillers throughout this region. From the ever-popular award-winning Four Pillars, through to lesser-known boutique distillers, there’s no shortage of places to explore. What’s really exciting is that many of these home-grown distilleries are now becoming household names and producing award winning gins around the world.
Your Gin Distillery Journey Begins in Melbourne
There’s so many regions producing quality gin throughout regional Victoria. But if you’re not sure where to start, then finding a local Melbourne Distillery is the way to go. Many Melbourne Gin Distillers are producing bold, character-enhancing gin that really sets off the native botanicals that are unique to Australia.
Of course, your journey wouldn’t start without well-known distiller Melbourne Gin Company who creates beautifully handcrafted gin. Perhaps try a bottle of their popular Melbourne Dry Gin, perfect for your martini or G&T, this should really set you in the mood for your Victorian gin adventure. Sourcing their water from the Yarra Ranges, and using botanicals such as honey lemon myrtle, cassia bark, and sandalwood, it doesn’t get much more Melbourne than this!
Another favourite from the heart of Melbourne is Little Lon Distilling Co, who pays tribute to the famous laneways with their small batch gin. Offering their gin master classes and distillery tours, this is a great way to try first-hand what it takes to make a great Melbourne-based gin.
