This Habitation St Etienne VSOP rum is aged in Bourbon oak casks and in French oak casks on the beautiful plantation of Saint Etienne in Central Martinique. This process confers this exceptional rum a Creole flavor and a spicy, aromatic palate. The nose is rich with candied fruit: apricot, peach, cantaloupe, followed by notes of grilled almonds and caramel with buttered coffee and clove. The taste is superb and enhances the nose: a broad, warm attack, admirably envelopes the palate. Its mellow nature and viscosity accentuate the lasting taste of this very old rum.

Newcastles first, barrel aged rum. Made from fermented treacle, this rich but smooth rum has delicate aromas and a pleasant taste. Even at cask strength of 62% ABV it is smooth and enjoyable. Aged for a period of 3 years in an American Oak ex bourbon/port barrel. Its namesake comes from the boat that our owner got to name as a kid, which belonged to his idol and mentor, his Grandfather.

High flavour, full bodied, Rum made with Organic Molasess that is all natural with no additives. Nil Desperandum; the Latin translation of ‘Nothing to Despair’ and what would a century later become the uniquely Australian expression of easy-going optimism – No Worries. We just love that. It not only sums up the Sunshine Coast – it also gives you an idea of who we are and why we do what we do. Our Inspirations are the cane fields of the Sunshine Coast and the world’s best rums distilled in the Caribbean since the 1600’s. Sugar cane has been growing in our region for over 150 years and it’s well and truly time Australia had a rum the equal of the world’s best. Using Australia’s only commercial quantity of organic molasses, the finest methods including natural ‘wild’ fermentation, and our bespoke German copper stills, every bottle of Nil Desperandum is produced with Love, Art & Science. Our second limited edition numbered release. Each bottle one of 1181. During the month of February 2020, the world was changing rapidly. Whilst most of the world was concerned about a new virus, our distillers were working hard in the Distillery on different yeast strains, alcohol content from fermentation, head and tails cuts, types of oak and seasoning of barrels, with a view to understanding what our future final rums might look like. While Barbados and Jamacia were the original inspiration, it was always known that local factors would be what made us unique. The resulting spirit was aged in old French Oak red wine barrels that were re-coopered to 100L and seasoned with port.
