Aussie men encouraged to try new spirit this Father’s Day

Husk Rum’s head distiller Quentin Brival says if you don’t like rum, you haven’t found the right one yet.

“Rum to me is the most versatile spirit in the world you can enjoy white, aged, spiced - the number of expressions of rums out there allow you to have enough favour profle to satisfy any palate,” he said.

Quentin said there is no wrong or right way to drink rum, but he has a few tips to offer.

“How you drink your rum will really depend on the type of rum you consume.

“Husk Pure Cane will lift any light rum cocktail - think refreshing styles like the mojito or a traditional daiquiri.

If you prefer a winter warmer, our naturally spiced rum - Bam Bam - sips well over ice with a slice of fresh orange slightly squeezed over the top.”

The Husk Rum Report revealed two thirds of Australian men agree Australia produces high-quality rum, with over half having consumed the spirit within the last month.

While two in fve Aussie men rate Whisky as their favourite spirit.

The mojito took out the favourite cocktail prize with one in three men naming it as their go to.

Founder and CEO of Husk Rum Paul Messenger said Australians should consider exploring the spirit world beyond their traditional preferences.

“Having tasted some of the very earliest barrels of Tasmanian whisky in the late nineties, I had for a long-time preferred whisky,” Paul said.

“That all changed after a Caribbean odyssey in 2009.

“On the French Island of Martinique, I enjoyed a 20-year-old barrel-aged rum that was as good - if not better - than any malt whisky I’d had before.

“Australia has traditionally been a dark rum market, but rum isn’t what it used to be - not all rum has those heavy and sweet notes of sticky toffee and vanilla.

“Instead, there is more diversity lining the shelves of bottle shops in 2023.”

With four diverse rum styles on offer, Husk Rum is leading the way in Australian Cultivated Rum production.
