Rum Chat at Bad Frankie - Melbourne

Have you ever……

… pretended to know what on earth ‘agricole’ means?

… felt oppressively overwhelmed by choice in your local rum bar, so you just order a pale ale instead?

… come to the realisations that you know plenty about rum, and that you want to spend an afternoon with like-minded rum aficionados at one of Australia’s best bars?

Then kid, we’ve got the event for you.

In November Husk will be teaming up with Mornington Peninsula’s JimmyRum and the legends at Bad Frankie for an afternoon of rummy fun.

James from JimmyRum will be going head-to-head with Husk’s own Edwina to wax lyrical on all things molasses v. agricole. We’ll take a deep dive on the intricacies of the two vastly different production methods, aided by samples of our rums at various points of the process. From the raw ingredients - molasses and fresh cane juice - to samples of the different effects of pot and column distillation, as well as some of Bad Frankie’s famous all-Aussie cocktails. Because what’s better than show & tell? Show & taste.

Can’t make it on the day? Pop into Bad Frankie anyway and have a slurp on our fave from their new cocktail list, the “Ken Oath Cooler”, featuring an all-local cast of Husk Pure Cane, AHD Gunnery Spiced, Ord River Premium and AHD Bitter Orange, with macadamia, pineapple and lime. Served in a deliciously kitsch Australiana mug.
