Husk Bam Bam is an award-winning Australian spiced rum that captures the wild spirit of the Caldera Coast. Crafted at Husk Distillers in Northern NSW, it is made farm-to-bottle from cane honey and cane juice, then aged in small barrels before being infused with native botanicals. With its bold character, provenance and craftsmanship, Bam Bam stands as a truly distinctive premium rum and a striking gift choice.

Craftsmanship & Story
Husk Distillers was founded by Paul and Mandy Messenger on their cane farm in Northern NSW, inspired by Caribbean rum traditions yet rooted in Australian terroir. Pioneering “farm-to-bottle” agricole rum, Husk crafts small-batch spirits from freshly crushed cane juice and cane honey, aged in a warm coastal climate for depth and authenticity.
Special Features
Infused with native wattleseed, golden berries and ginger alongside cinnamon, orange and Tahitian vanilla, Bam Bam is uniquely Australian.
