The Story

Here’s how this incredible rum came to be. Stone & Wood, legends of the craft brewing world, create a traditional porter called Stone Beer. They use hot stones to caramelise the sugars in the wort, giving their beer a unique depth and complexity. We saw a golden opportunity there. Those porter barrels? Perfect for finishing our rum!

Several years later, Husk Porter ACR is finally ready. It’s made from 100% single estate cane juice, aged in Aussie wine barrels, and then given the royal treatment in Stone & Wood’s ex-Porter barrels.

The result? A rum that's like a liquid symphony of caramel, roasted malt, and dark chocolate. You’ll get toffee, vanilla, and a cheeky hint of smokiness dancing on your palate. Talk about a winter warmer!

As our Head Distiller, Quentin Brival, puts it: “The stone beer technique adds a layer of complexity and richness to our rum, creating a truly unique and exceptional spirit.”

And here’s what Coalan Vaughan, the Head Brewer at Stone & Wood, has to say: “It just made sense to collaborate with Husk on this release, as they’re only 15 minutes from our Murwillumbah brewery. Our Stone Beer porter, with its traditional brewing process, has imparted deep caramel and roasted malt notes to the rum, resulting in a wonderfully balanced and flavourful spirit.”
