MELBOURNE’S ONLY Rakia & Rum DISTILLERY

What can you do at Nubilum?

Our Story

Nestled in the backstreets of Kensington, we’re one of Australia’s few creators of rakia (also known as rakija, raki or rakiya) and other small batch signature spirits.

We're inspired by the stories of our babushkas and nonnas and babas, who mastered the art of making rakia in bathtubs and sheds and granny flats, and who taught us that creating spirits can also come from the heart. It was always an event that brought the family together on multiple occasions, and then kept them stuck at the dining table for hours and hours — and we're on a mission to keep that spirit of togetherness alive.

Whether you’re drinking at home or at the bar, we hope that our spirits bring people together - turning strangers into friends and friends into family with every sip.

    We went to Nubilum distilling, we really enjoyed this experience, this small business has a great variety of spirits, my favourite was plum. The cocktails were amazing and the bartender was awesome, he explained everything and prepared our cocktails. I cannot wait to visit this place again!!! The atmosphere was great, quiet and cozy.

    We finally got to try this great neighborhood establishment nestled in Kensington. We thought all the the tables were taken, but the super-welcoming staff assembled a table for us and wedged us in! THIS is how you build loyal customers. Great cocktails, expertly crafted by incredibly knowledgeable and friendly bar staff. We will be back.

    What a lovely little surprise to find a cozy little distillery in the hood. Great little tasting paddles to get a nip of all there is to offer. Fabulous range of spirits with a great selection of cocktails if you feel inclined. Furry friends welcome. No food, no problem. Bring your own nibbles or dial into one of the locals. We will be back.

    Literally the only rum I’ve ever liked neat. Also the lemon spirit with dark soda is one of the best drinks to sit on for an easy spring afternoon. They don’t do food in house, but you can order directly from the excellent Mexican down the road in the bar and it just turns up.

    Perfect margarita with a smokey taste 👌and the schnapps is of high quality and comparable with very good distilled German schnapps.

  • Edward

    Great tasting Gin and their range of flavoured tonics to go with the Gin are so nice I now order these by the carton. Great service, immediate delivery. Great to be able to buy local Gin and Australian Made Tonic flavours.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐

    What a charming little distillery! We tried their flights, cocktails, and Gluwhein, and it was a delightful experience. We brought some takeaway food to enjoy there, and the staff was so friendly and encouraged it since they don't serve food at the venue. The seating is cosy inside and out, although it can get a bit chilly inside.
