Adelaide brothers Jon and Con Lioulios launched their Virginia Distillery and their brand, 36 Short, in 2014 with the first ever Rakia to be licensed and sold in Australia.
The brand 36 Short pays homage to their Macedonian born father, Pando, and his suit size. Pando had a love for quality and fine craftmanship in all aspects he approached in life, from his exceptional market garden and love of produce to his secret recipe for Rakia distillation and of course his attire.
Since their inaugural product launch in 2014 their portfolio of products has expanded to include Gold and White Rakia, Blood Orange Gin, Original Gin, Barrel Aged Gin, Rhubarb Gin and Blood Orange Vodka.
