Distillery Info
Crafted with passion on the Victorian Mornington Peninsula ,Christian Melone has taken traditional Italian methods passed down from from his grandfather to produce his Rocky Jones Pink Gin.
Christian says, “We use traditional methods that have been passed down 3 generations. This includes letting our 8 botanicals sit with the neutral spirit for 24 hours. We hand peel citrus and vapour infuse it. We then let our copper still do the work. Throughout distillation we take cuts to ensure only high quality gin is collected. We dilute the gin with rainwater and filter the product before bottling. Each bottle is hand labeled and numbered. Our goal is to produce premium quality gin at an affordable price for the Rocky Jones family.”
The Rocky Jones Gins all use wine as a base. The first batch was produced using Pinot Grigio wine and with many hours perfecting the recipe, the first Rocky Jones Gin was created.
What’s in a name? Rocky was the man who taught Christian's grandfather the art of distillation and Jones Road was where Christian began practising the craft.
