Guided 6 Spirit Tasting

Located in North Tumbulgum, New South Wales, Husk Farm Distillery offers a distinctive craft spirit tasting that captures the essence of this lush Australian region. This guided six-spirit tasting invites visitors to explore vibrant flavors and innovative distilling techniques amid the subtropical climate of the Northern Rivers. The experience highlights Husk’s signature Ink Gin, renowned for its dramatic color-changing properties—transforming from deep indigo to a blush pink as citrus is added.

This phenomenon is due to the infusion of butterfly pea flowers, creating a tasting experience that’s as visual as it is flavorful. Beyond the enchanting gin, the tasting introduces Husk Pure Cane rum, distilled from local sugarcane grown on the farm itself. The fresh, bright taste elegantly reflects the fertile soils and gentle breezes of North Tumbulgum.

The journey concludes with Husk Bam Bam, a bold, aged rum with rich caramel and spice notes, embodying the distillery’s commitment to blending tradition with innovation. Husk Farm Distillery is a standout destination because of its deep connection to the land and its sustainable approach to spirit production. Unlike many large-scale distilleries, Husk cultivates its ingredients on site, ensuring each spirit expresses the unique terroir of Northern New South Wales.

The distillery also champions environmental stewardship, using renewable energy and supporting native wildlife preservation. Visitors will enjoy a relaxed, informative session led by passionate guides who share insights into the distilling process, local farming practices, and pairing suggestions. The experience is perfect for travelers staying in nearby towns such as Murwillumbah or Byron Bay, who seek an authentic taste of rural Australia beyond the usual tourist path.

The ambiance of the distillery grounds enhances the tasting — surrounded by sugarcane fields, native trees, and glimpses of the Richmond River valley in the distance. Whether you’re a spirit aficionado or a curious traveler, Husk Farm Distillery’s guided tasting offers a rare blend of sensory delight and educational depth, making it a unique stop in the Northern Rivers region.
