About us

My Local Spirits, the new bottle shop in Port Melbourne

In the heart of France, two passionate Frenchmen, found themselves united by their love for exceptional spirits and a shared dream of bringing the best of Australian distillers to the world. 

Their fascination with spirits led them to explore renowned distilleries in Europe, tasting the finest Scotch whiskies, French cognacs, and Italian liqueurs. 

Drawn by tales of unique botanicals, pristine waters, and passionate distillers in Australia, they embarked on an adventure to explore this uncharted territory. Their quest was simple yet audacious: to discover the best distillers and liqueurs in Australia and introduce them to a global audience.

Their journey took them from the arid landscapes of the Australian Outback to the lush valleys of Tasmania, where they met with distillers who were as much artists as they were craftsmen. These distillers infused their creations with the essence of the land, using native botanicals and age-old techniques to produce exceptional spirits.

 Each distillery had a story, a unique approach, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

Today, "My local spirits" stands as a testament to Arturo and Mikael's dedication to their passion. They offer a portfolio of Australian spirits that is both a tribute to the land's rich traditions and an invitation to create the finest cocktails in town. 

As you sip on a glass of exquisite Australian gin or savour a dram of aged whisky, you are not just tasting a spirit; you are experiencing the culmination of two Frenchmens' journey, their love for good alcohol, and their unwavering commitment to promoting the best local Australian distillers.
