Taking inspiration from French-style rums which use fresh sugarcane juice as the primary ingredient, Husk Distillery Farm was established in 2009, when Husk began crafting rum from Australian cultivated sugarcane.
Combining the complexity of fresh cane juice with the rich smoothness of cane honey, Husk Rare Blend is a modern Australian rum which captures the character of the land on which it is made.
Sub-tropically aged in small barrels at Husk Rum Distillery, Rare Blend combines seasonal 100 per cent single estate cane rum juice, Husk’s signature style, and rum made from Tweed Valley cane honey.
The result is a dark rum with flavours of ripe fruit, honeysuckle, vanilla, Asian spices and toasted oak, perfect for sipping, or served in a Cuba Libre or Old Fashioned.
Quentin Brival, Head Distiller at Husk Distillers, says: “While the Australian rum category is built on products that use molasses in production, Husk is the only brand in Australia which has a farm-to-bottle ethos.
“Fresh sugar cane juice is grown at the distillery, harvested and instantly fermented and distilled to create rums which are fresh, vibrant and complex due to its unprocessed nature.”
By adopting the French method of using pure sugar cane juice, Quentin is pioneering a shift in the Australian rum industry. This method, utilised by only 4% of rums globally, brings a unique and modern twist to Australian rum, emphasising freshness and vibrancy. Through this innovative approach, Husk Distillers is setting a new standard and redefining what Australian rum can be.
