Husk Farm Distillery
Husk Farm Distillery is the home of Husk Rum and Ink Gin, making spirits which reflect the land.
Inspired by the diverse and vibrant rum culture of the Caribbean islands and a yearning for fine Australian spirits, distiller Paul Messenger, along with his wife Mandy and their three daughters, embarked on a journey to create a plantation distillery on their cattle & cane farm, nestled in the green caldera surrounding Mt Warning in Northern NSW.
Our vision was to create a premium, farm to bottle agricole rum with a unique Australian expression. Our journey is now in it's eighth year. We’ve had to develop new skills and adapt new methods of small-scale cultivation, harvesting and crushing not used in the area before. We’ve designed our distillery based on fermentation, distillation and maturation methods not typically used in commercial rum distilleries and the result is a rum that we are proud to say has the unique characteristics of our part of the world - our provenance.
