25.01.2022 Our 30 year old harvester came to us from the Bundaberg region. She may be old, but she’s still got plenty of geddup & go

25.01.2022 SPICED BAM BAM RELEASE UPDATE It’s with a heavy heart that we tell you, lovely Facebook followers, that the summer release of Spiced Bam Bam has been pushed back until next year. We hoped that we could get our most sought after rum out in time for Christmas, however it’s not quite ready and we will never rush a release. That’s how you can be sure that every bottle of HUSK is epic, sipping quality, premo Australian rum. ... Our founder Paul has written a letter with more information about the history and future of our beloved Spiced Bam Bam. Hit the link for more information. Any questions, drop them in the comments https://www.huskdistillers.com//husk-spiced-bam-bam-christ

24.01.2022 In October we had humid days & tropical afternoon storms. We haven’t been able to harvest cane for a few weeks because the ground has been too wet.

21.01.2022 Another perfect October day in the Northern Rivers It’s been a busy few months at the distillery with the rum harvest and bottling lots to prepare for the busy Christmas period. After a big week it’s great having a cocktail bar attached to your office Cocktail is a Tom Collins with @ink_gin

21.01.2022 Head Distiller Quentin checking the rum ferment. Our fermenters are bubbling away, turning the sugar in our first press cane juice to alcohol, ready to be distilled into Australian agricultural rum.

18.01.2022 Meet Tilly, our resident distillery dog and official Morning Tea Supervisor. You’ll find her watching over the production team during smoko, waiting for the smallest morsel of food to drop from a plate. She has no sense of personal space and regularly climbs on everyone in the office, smooching and pawing at them for cuddles. ... She is the worst at social distancing, becoming so overwhelmed with excitement each morning at the sight of her colleagues that all thought of the 1.5m rule goes out the window. She’s a total sweetie! And looks very serious in this staff photo See more

As the only Australian distillery making paddock to bottle rum using fresh cane juice, you can truly taste our region in every bottle of Husk Rum. Learn more at www.huskdistillers.com See more

14.01.2022 We’re in the middle of the rum harvest at Husk Farm Distillery Here are some scenes from our fields, as we cut & crush cane to make Husk Rum. Most of what we make this year won’t be available for years. It will age for 3+ years in our barrel house. It’ll be worth the wait though ... PADDOCK TO BOTTLE SPIRITS

Seats are limited, so grab your ticket at the link below. https://destinationtweed.com.au/e/husk-barrel-house-dinner/

11.01.2022 Little Herbert was born at Husk Farm Distillery earlier this year & had a rocky start in life when his birth-mum didn’t take a shine to him. Luckily Mandy our co-founder took over mum duties, feeding & nurturing young Herbie. He’s growing up big, strong and spoilt. Husk Rum cattle eat all our distillery waste - spent botanicals, stillage & oranges - and are a vital part of the paddock to process

11.01.2022 This absolute legend @hayden_quinn recently visited Husk when filming his new series @tasteofaustraliahq. It was great fun showing the crew around our farm, sharing why the Tweed is such an incredible place to make agricultural spirits. The episode airs on @channel10au tomorrow at 4.30pm. Check it out

11.01.2022 Have you come to Husk Happy Hour yet? 4-6pm Fridays and Saturdays. We’re slinging healthy burgers, shaking cockies & pumping tunes while the sun sets over the valley. Come on down

11.01.2022 Mojito season Husk Pure Cane, lime, sugar, mint & soda = the perfect warm weather cocktail. You have to love the humble mojito

09.01.2022 It’s Quentin’s birthday today, and he got an early present at last nights Australian Distilled Spirits Awards... Husk Pure Cane came home with a gold medal! Some of the comments from the judges: A day at the coast with seared scallops, salmon skin, tomato sugo and rock salt. This 'rum' is all about the savoury tones with saline intermingling with soft herbs and clay. ... More citrus emerges on the palate but the finish is really where the spirit shines showing mandarin pith, orange oil and marshmellow. Hooray for flavour! So much natural, funky goodness jumping out of this. We love this full flavoured spirit - it’s how all our rums start. Amazing with ginger beer or in daiquiris, caipirinhas & cocktails, we’re stoked it’s taken out gold this year. See more

09.01.2022 HAPPY FRIDAY! Time for a rum Husk Happy Hour at the cellar door runs from 4-6 Friday’s & Saturday’s. Get amongst it

08.01.2022 Anyone interested in an @ink_gin cocktail tonight? Hit up our website for recipes and inspiration

08.01.2022 All hail the Daq! The daiquiri has been mixed in many different ways over the years... frozen, fruity, festive. But our favourite version is the classic, where the flavours of the spirit can really shine through. It’s such a simple cocktail - just white rum, fresh lime juice and sugar - so you have to get the balance of flavours just right. Practise makes perfect and when you nail it, you know it... thanks to @liquid.sugar.drinks See more

08.01.2022 We’ve hit a milestone - BATCH 100 of @ink_gin drops tomorrow, complete with beautiful gold foiled commemorative label. The first of these individually numbered bottles will be available from the cellar door. Get here at 11am if you want bottle number 1! We couldn’t be more chuffed to have come this far - it’s been a hoot. ... Read more at the link https://www.inkgin.com/blog//batch-1-to-batch-100

07.01.2022 Change is coming.... get ready for the new taste of Australian rum. Thanks to James & Australian Gourmet Traveller for the write up. "It's hard to imagine, but it was only a few years ago that gin was still trying to shed its reputation as ‘mother’s ruin’ and the favoured nightcap of geriatric women.... Rum has a similarly colourful past in Australia as the colonial spirit of last resort, guzzled by contemporaries at ute musters and rural ‘bachelor and spinster’ balls, and even made the scapegoat for violent behaviour. Certainly, it has never been perceived as something you’d want to sip and savour. But Quentin Brival of Husk Distillers (huskdistillers.com) in Tumbulgum, northern New South Wales, believes change is coming. When I arrived in Australia five or six years ago, people would tell me, ‘I don’t drink gin. It makes me sad,’ he recalls. Now gin is probably the most trendy spirit category in Australia. https://app.gourmettravellerwine.com//making-a-rumback-spi

07.01.2022 Distiller Steve catching a swarm of bees behind the distillery at Husk Bees swarm in spring when their colonies grow too large and overcrowded.
