The Melbourne Gin Company (MGC) is a distillery established in 2012, inspired by the vibrant culture of Melbourne. Founded by Andrew Marks, a Yarra Valley winemaker residing in Collingwood, MGC set out to create a gin that pays homage to the city and its unique spirit. The result was the first-ever Melbourne Dry Gin, a classic gin with a twist that pioneered the emerging local gin industry.
MGC takes an innovative approach to distillation, using stills originally designed for making perfume. The gins are crafted with locally grown and native botanicals, as well as fresh local rainwater, giving them a distinct and flavorful character. The company’s dedication to quality and creativity has paved the way for the growing local gin movement in Australia.
As an independent distillery, MGC takes an artisan production approach, handcrafting and batch-distilling their gins without chill filtering. With a commitment to flavor, character, and distinction, the Melbourne Gin Company offers a unique taste of Melbourne in every bottle.
