With Queensland Rum Day rapidly approaching on 25 October, the state’s rum distilleries have banded together once again to create the limited-edition Rum Consortium 2025 Release.
Now in its third year, Queensland Rum Day aims to showcase the richness, diversity and craftsmanship of the state’s rum.
This year, Burdekin Rum has joined founding distilleries Bundaberg Rum, Beenleigh Rum, Nil Desperandum Rum and Kalki Moon Distilling & Brewing as a guest distiller in the creation of the unique limited-edition collaboration – The Rum Consortium 2025 Release.
Burdekin Rum creator, Tim Lamb, said the release was a proud moment for Burdekin and for Queensland rum.
“Joining the Consortium for the first time, we’ve brought our award-winning Vintage Cane Spirit, in this case aged for more than two years in PX casks, to add new depth and character to the 2025 blend,” said Lamb.
Crafted from rums aged between two and 12 years, using both molasses and fresh-pressed sugarcane juice, and bottled at 40% ABV with no added sugar, the Consortium blend captures Queensland’s agricultural heritage and spirit of collaboration. There will be 5280 bottles available.
The limited-edition Rum Consortium 2025 Release will launch on each distillery’s website on 21 October, and from cellar doors on 25 October, for RRP $119.00.
