Little Lon Distilling Co

The building that Little Lon Distilling Co calls home was built in 1877 and is the last remaining single story house in Melbourne’s CBD.

Fast forward 141 years, and here is Little Lon Distilling Co. A gintrified establishment commemorating the rich history of Little Lon with a range of characterful, small batch Melbourne gins that raise a tipple to the delightful deviates that once trod these lurid laneways.

Little Lon distil their spirits using the finest of Australian malted barley and good old fashioned Melbourne water. They believe making their own base spirit, whilst extra work, imparts to their Melbourne gins a glorious and very eminently sippable flavour.

The venue features an intimate cocktail bar, out the front of the cottage sit down area and an extended Outdoor Gin Garden. All of which are perfect to sit down with friends and enjoy the gins on offer through a G&T or cocktail.

The spirits on offer feature a core range of Gins including Miss Yoko, Proudfoot, Ginger Mick & Dutchy Thomas. You will also find Limited Edition Gins, Bottled Cocktails and even a twice distilled smooth vodka.

For those who like to get deep into the weeds be sure to check out the two masterclass that Little Lon offer.

Run on a Saturday the masterclass includes a refreshing G&T while you learn about the history and gins by Little Lon through a tasting paired with Tonic Waters & Garnishes.

You will finish up with a tour and a Cocktail, the premium masterclass run on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday also features a Melbourne favorite, cheese and charcuterie board. The masterclasses must be booked via the website here.
