SILVER MEDAL WINNER

Every batch is one-of-a-kind.

Just like wine tastes different depending on the region it comes from — spirits also tell the story of their birthplace; shaped by the ingredients, traditions, climate, and even the water they're made with.

We use locally sourced ingredients (often handpicked from the fruit trees in neighbours backyards), and a mix of traditional and modern distilling methods, that give our spirits a distinct Melbourne flavour.

    I sent my friends a present of Nubilum Gin with tonics. They loved the packaged present, the experience was all there ready to go when they opened the box. Delivery was fast too. Thanks Nubilum Distilling Team.

BRONZE MEDAL WINNER

Blueberry Rakia

It’s a bold & fruity rebel in a bottle, with colour that comes straight from the blueberries themselves. It's a rule-breaker in the fruit spirit game.

Bringing us home a bronze medal in the “Alternative Spirit” category at the 2024 Australian Distilled Spirit Awards.
