Branching out from its gin-making roots, @littlelo

Branching out from its gin-making roots, @littlelondistillingco has just released Little Lon Whiskey, the first single malt to be distilled and aged legally in Melbourne’s CBD. Distilled in a heritage-listed cottage, a site that was once a brothel, a speakeasy, and now, Melbourne’s only CBD distillery, Little Lon Whiskey was then aged in the confines of Cell 13 of the Watch House at the Old Melbourne Goal. Maturation at the former jail has given Little Lon Whiskey a character unique to Melbourne’s climate, representing an unusual blend of heritage and modern craft distilling.
