The Concept

The idea of marrying rum distillation with gin-style botanicals first came to Paul in the little green shed back in 2016. He was making both and there seemed no reason why some sort of spiritual matrimony couldn’t occur.

Experimentation using lemon myrtle and macadamias plucked (and roasted) from the tree outside convinced him it was a winner. But then events took over with the building of the new distillery and the concept was put on hold.

Fast forward to 2019 and Quentin's hand-picked and adventurous distilling team dusted off the distillery record books and took up the challenge to turn this idea into a new concept in rum. This was a big deal. This would challenge people’s perception of white rum. Had it ever been done before? Nobody knew. But what was known was that it had to be great. So it was that it took 89 micro-distillation test trials using a wide variety of botanicals before the recipe was finally unveiled.

How is it made?

The hard work is done first: growing the finest seasonal sugar cane, then crushing it, fermenting it and distilling it at Husk Farm, just the way all our cultivated rums begin. This cane based spirit is then re-distilled with a gin style cocktail of patiently hand peeling and sun-dried grapefruit peel, native lemon myrtle leaves and native strawberry gum leaves.

The result is HUSK BOTANIC, a full flavoured cane spirit base with botanicals layered through it, a sweet and zesty contemporary spirit that will challenge your perception of white rum and possibly even convert gin lovers to the rummier side of life.

We think it will surprise you.
