Queensland Rum Day returned on Saturday, October 25, celebrating the state’s rich sugarcane heritage and world-class rum craftsmanship. Now in its third year, the event has become one of Australia’s most anticipated spirit celebrations.
This year, Burdekin Rum joined four other distilleries – Bundaberg Rum, Beenleigh Rum, Nil Desperandum Rum, and Kalki Moon Distilling & Brewing – for the creation of the Rum Consortium 2025 Release, a limited-edition blend of rums aged between two and 12 years. Crafted from both molasses and fresh-pressed sugarcane juice, the 40% ABV blend contains no added sugar and captures the best of Queensland’s agricultural heritage.
Burdekin Rum CEO Tim Lamb said the collaboration is a unique opportunity to showcase local craftsmanship. And with only 5,280 bottles are available, each are individually numbered and capture the best of Queensland’s sugarcane heritage.
Queensland Rum Day was celebrated across the state with a variety of events.
