Rick Prosser

Coming Up

At Bundaberg Rum in Bundaberg, Australia, Rick Prosser learned production at scale as Master Distiller from 2000 to 2013. He then moved into freelance alcohol consulting from 2013 to 2016, before turning to Kalki Moon, the family distillery he founded in Bundaberg with a brief rooted in cane fields and the full moon over the town.

Where They Are Now

The work at Kalki Moon is set out in practical terms by Prosser: founder, owner, and Master Distiller of the Bundaberg distillery. He has described the business as an alcohol manufacturer and Distillery Owner with a direct stake in the Australian Distilling Industry. Family ownership frames the distillery’s identity. Prosser said he and his wife established their own family distillery six years before the interview, and the name and outlook draw on Bundaberg’s cane fields and the full moon overhead. Gin at Kalki Moon is presented in technical language rather than flourish. Prosser describes the range as clean, balanced, and flavour-forward, and on London Dry Gin he says he embraced the style’s rules: juniper-forward, with no alteration to the product beyond water for dilution.

In Their Words “I really embraced the rules of a London Dry Gin; Juniper forward with no alteration to the product, only using water to dilute.”
