For the last 5 years, Brix has been on a mission to reinvent Australian rum. In an effort to challenge the misconceptions and clichés of pirates, polar bears and tattoos, the team set out to educate Aussies on how to best embrace rum, beginners, or aficionados alike. Housing three distinct spirits across their traditional rum range, Australia is now fortunate to have a premium Australian rum to call our own, all crafted with Australian ingredients and matured in Sydney in local wine casks.
“After 5 years of Australian rum education, appreciation, and celebration, Brix is now able to release the local Australian rums we have been striving to produce along the first part of our long Rum journey. We have always challenged ourselves to create delicious products that allow the consumer to discover a new way of appreciating Rum. When made with love and care, great local ingredients, a master craftsperson at the helm, and loads of passion, Rum can be adored alongside the great spirits of the world. With enough mature stock on hand to send around the country, we are ecstatic to say that now, we can seriously begin to achieve what we set out to do. Reinvent Australian Rum.” – James Christopher, Co-Founder at Brix Distillers.
