Husk Rum & Gin Distillery

The Verdict

Husk Distillers, a humble Northern Rivers NSW family-owned and operated business, once happily serviced their market out of a backyard shed on their fertile cane and cattle farm. Exploding in popularity thanks to their iconic Ink Gin brand, they're Australia’s first paddock to bottle Agricole rum distillery, which means it’s made from freshly crushed sugar cane juice, instead of molasses. 

Visitors can now experience the green wonderland for themselves, with the property boasting 60 stunning acres including the distillery, café, cocktail bar grazing cattle, sugarcane and 12 acres of uncleared remnant rainforest. 

There are also distillery tours running from Wednesday to Sunday at 11am, 1pm and 3pm. For $35 per person you’ll score an Ink Gin and tonic on arrival, get a behind scenes look at how the spirits are produced, before finishing with a rum tasting flight in the Barrel House. 

A scenic 20-minute drive southwest of Coolangatta, you'll want to check this one out stat.
