Here at the Vic Bar we distill our own Bootlegger Vodka and Melbourne Dry Gin through Route 109, our in house micro distillery. A craft first conjured up during the quieter months of the pandemic and mainly to service our own thirsty selves. The extent of what we created has outdone our expectations and we now find our products in venues across Victoria.
Not content on doing things the normal way, once we realised there was an appetite for our products, we were unwilling to create yet another brand that burdens our struggling environment. Through our unique packaging and distribution methods we have minimised the impacts of our business by reducing glass packaging and transport vehicles on the road.
Just in 2023 we prevented over 10 tonnes of greenhouse gasses and more than 800 units of 700ml glass bottles from regular production and transport burdens alone.
Happy Environment = Happy Route 109
