Beenleigh Artisan Distillery.
10.30 am Tour and Tasting.
11.00 am Tour only.
In 1884, an abandoned steamboat washed ashore at ‘Beenleigh’,
a sugarcane property on the Albert River in Queensland, Australia.
Aboard the boat, the SS Walrus, was a tremendous copper still.
Fate had landed a gift at the feet of cane growers John Davy and
Francis Gooding, and they set about distilling spirit from their
own sugarcane. Close to 140 years later, Beenleigh Rum is still
crafted at the same riverside location. Beenleigh proudly bears
the title of Australia’s oldest registered distillery,
holding the country’s ‘Number 1’ licence
