Kabina Distilling Company

The Melbourne rakija renaissance.

The Kabina story begins in Melbourne, in the neighbourhood of Ognen, Chris and our friends.

The old-school backyard bungalows (Bungalow… Cabin… Kabina…the European word for 'cabin') became our go-to hangout for family and friends. Get togethers, pre-party and post-party chats, sports and video games - a bottle of rakija always within arm's reach.

It was here, in those laid-back, sun-drenched afternoons, that we first tasted rakija, thanks to Ognen’s dad and his homemade brew. After years of sampling both the commercial and artisanal varieties, we felt an undeniable urge to give this ancient spirit a modern twist. We asked ourselves: how do we create a better drop?

So, we embarked on a journey of discovery. Exploration. Experimentation. Innovation. The result? The. Best. Rakija. Ever.

Or at least we think so. And so, Kabina was born — a name that reflects the good times, deep nostalgia, and the backyards that brought us together.
