AT LONG LAST… AUSTRALIA’S FINEST RUM

Australia Certified Organic rum. We use wild fermented, locally sourced molasses, Woombye water, dunder and muck. Double pot distilled, then AGED FOR A MINIMUM OF 2 YEARS in bourbon barrels emptied of sherry and port – on Australia’s beautiful sub-tropical Sunshine Coast. 

DELICIOUS. 100% pure unadulterated rum. NIL additives.
NIL added sugar, sweeteners, caramel, glycerine, flavours, colours or chemicals. 

Our inspiration comes from the cane fields of our Sunshine Coast home and the fervent belief that it’s about time Australia had a rum equal to the world’s best! 

NIL DESPERANDUM means NO WORRIES

In 1871 this ambitious declaration glittered in gold on Woombye’s first pub. Today it’s known all over the world as Australia’s iconic expression of easy-going optimism regardless of the circumstances: NO WORRIES.

We just love that. And it gives you an idea of who we are and why we do what we do. 

The purest rum distilled with love, art and science. Full of expressive and full-bodied flavour, authentically Australian but comfortably compared to the most exceptional Caribbean rums.
