The Story
The Pomona Distilling Co story isn’t just about a distillery, it’s about a community that looks after each other, it’s about showcasing Pomona to the world and creating a concept and product that focuses on quality not quantity. You won’t find pallets of our product at our farm, you’ll find hand-crafted bottles of premium spirits, purified with activated charcoal and aged appropriately to allow the botanicals the respect and journey they deserve.
This story has been 40 years in the making for our Master Distiller and owner, Robin Yates. His passion for the alchemy of spirits goes back to his old Uni days of distilling in the back of the chemistry lab while studying to be an Industrial Chemist.
Robin now spends his days at his Pomona farm in the Noosa Hinterland region of Queensland’s Sunshine Coast experimenting with gin blends using native botanicals, some foraged straight from our farm. Our aim is to use locally sourced products where possible, with exception of our juniper berries which come directly from Eastern Europe, home to the highest quality juniper that create our signature gin flavour and smooth finish.
At Pomona Distilling Co we allow the journey from grain to glass the time it deserves to deliver a spirit that is as smooth and pure as the earth of which it came from. That same respect is given to our vision of creating a distillery that brings our community together and brings a sense of pride to our town of Pomona. We want to be the drink to share with friends, the cause for celebration, the place to meet and the space for creative expression. More importantly we want our community to feel that this is their spirit, their place….. The Pomona Spirit.
The Process
Bigger doesn’t always mean better. By focusing on artesan methodology, Pomona Distilling Co can take the time to bring careful consideration into every step of the distilling process.We use an activated charcoal filtration to polish the spirit and remove impurities giving us a smooth, clean and pure final product. We mindfully source local sustainable ingredients and native botanicals if not from our own farm, then from our neighbours, to produce a distinct flavour that embodies the Pomona spirit.
Botanicals
All botanicals are vapour infused to release the aromatic flavours.
Distillation
6 times distilled to ensure only the purist of product remains.
Final Product
We remove the impurities by filtering through activated carbon.
Shared
Hand bottled and labelled ready to be shared in good spirits!
Our Spirit
At Pomona Distillery, every bottle is a story—crafted with care, character, and creativity. Our small-batch process ensures we intimately know each spirit from start to finish. We hand-select botanicals, distill with precision, and blend with pure Pomona water before allowing time to work its magic. The result? A refined, deeply layered spirit that captures the essence of our craft and community. Each sip is a testament to the passion and patience behind our premium-quality creations.
