FNQ RUM CO. · WALKAMIN, FAR NORTH QUEENSLAND

Our Sugarcane

Our spirits begin with locally sourced North Queensland sugarcane syrup, not molasses. Fermented on site, it produces the bright, distinctive cane character that runs through the entire FNQ Rum Co. range.

Cane Spirit

Platinum Cane Spirit is unaged and slowly filtered through volcanic rock. Fresh cane leads on the nose and palate. Pour it in a mojito or a daiquiri.

The Distillation Process

Distillation happens on Helga, our 1500-litre Arnold Holstein copper pot still. Flavour is built in the ferment, then refined through deliberate cuts before the spirit is bottled or laid down in oak.

Made In The Tropics

Our spirits are distilled, matured and bottled in Far North Queensland. Iridium 5yr spends five years in hogsheads that held red wine. Taste FNQ Rum Co. where it is made, at our Walkamin cellar door.

THE RANGE

The range runs from the unaged Platinum Cane Spirit to Iridium 5yr, Iridium X 10yr, Iridium X Agave Cask and the 60% Palladium Overproof.
