25.01.2022 The health and safety of all Queenslanders and visitors to Queensland is paramount. While we are still doing tours at Sarina Sugar Shed, we ask that all of our visitors heed the current advice and guidelines from Queensland Health. This information can be found at www.qld.gov.au/health/covid19/update or call 134 COVID (134 268). This advice extends to safe distancing during our tours as requested by the guides. We are fortunate that the #mackay region is not in lockdown, and we'd like to keep it that way. We are thinking of all the people who have had their school holiday plans changed due to the current lockdowns and to our tourism industry colleagues who are impacted. If you can travel safely, we welcome you to Sarina Sugar Shed, and ask that you help us unite against COVID-19.

15.01.2022 IN THE BEGINNING.... This is how our NOI fruit liqueur starts out! Like a food laboratory, our creative distiller, Sarah, experiments with a range of seasonal fruit, mixing them with various ingredients to see how the fruit reacts ... Only the best of them move forward to the blending stage, and eventually become part of our very popular NOI range. (For the uninitiated, NOI stands for 'Nice Over Ice') Sometimes these experiments work, sometimes they don't. We have had as many misses as successes But when we produce national Silver award winners such as the Lychee NOI, plus the Strawberry NOI (with a hint of vanilla) and the more recent Tropical NOI, it is all worth it! Join our Sarina Rum Club and be the first to know about our new releases. Send us your full contact details (including full name, email address, phone number and postcode) and your request to join via the Contact page on our website Or email [email protected] www.sarinasugarshed.com.au

15.01.2022 Baby, where have you been?? We have missed you! You left us for awhile, but now you are back! Please don't go again! We you!... We have even polished your 2017, 2018 and 2019 distilling awards for you! Welcome home! www.sarinasugarshed.com.au

14.01.2022 MEET REBECCA! We thought it was time that we introduced Rebecca, our newest tour guide! Rebecca is so passionate and enthusiastic about everything she does - and it is irresistibly infectious! ... She is a Kiwi, and let us tell you, she has heard every NZ joke - and has a few of her own! We are thrilled to have Rebecca join our fantastic team - she a chat, so say 'kia ora' if you are lucky enough to have Rebecca as your tour guide!

14.01.2022 Well, this is one VERY happy distiller! Today we received 20 new barrels for our rum, and you can't wipe the grin from Sarah's face! These barrels might look new, but in fact some of them are 40 years old, and have been used at high-profile wineries such as Seppeltsfield in the Barossa Valley ... These quality barrels don't often come available, so we are thrilled to have secured them for the Sarina Sugar Shed They have been shaved back, but when you unplug the bung, the gorgeous aromas of tokay, port, muscat and sherry are very evident! We will use these barrels to blend our current rum supply for more intense flavours, but also be able to barrel more rum for release in 2023 No wonder Sarah is so happy! www.sarinasugarshed.com.au

14.01.2022 #throwbackthursday - Meet Bill the Mill! Bill was presented on permanent loan to Sarina Sugar Shed by the Sugar Research Institute many years ago. Bill the Mill was used in work conducted by Sugar Research staff, initiated by Dr W R Crawford, to investigate the basic principles of sugar cane milling. The work done with this mill, together with work done at the Mechanical Engineering department of Queensland University and the efforts of practicing mill engineers, has cont...ributed significantly to improvements in milling performance in the Queensland sugar industry. Bill the Mill was an experimental juicing mill but is now a special part of our team! Bill crushes all of our local sugar cane onsite, so we can create the award winning rums, liqueurs and boutique products of the Sarina Sugar Shed. Find out more about our delicious range of products at www.sarinasugarshed.com.au.

02.01.2022 GET EXCITED! Isn't this a sight for sore eyes? Yes, we have released the final small-batch #14 of our signature Sugar Shed Rum. ... That's the good news! The not-so-good news is that we have very limited stock! This means it will sell out quickly - almost half has gone to pre-orders and our Sarina Rum Club members! But there will be some bottles on the shelves in our on-site retail store this weekend - but only until this stock sells out! (A common question is, is there anywhere else to buy it? Sadly, the answer is 'no' under our liquor licence conditions, and we can only sell it in our retail store after 10am, another licence condition). So take a drive to Sarina this weekend and get your bottle of national bronze award-winning Sugar Shed Rum for the Christmas pudding! Or yourself! Phone (07) 4943 2801 (9am-4pm QLD time) www.sarinasugarshed.com.au #rum #sarinarum #spirit #award #bronze #sugarshedrum #sarinasugarshed #sarina #mackay #mackayregion #visitmackay #queensland #makeitgreatQLD #thisisqueensland
