Husk Distillers
Innovative distilling in the heart of the Tweed caldera
On the east coast of Australia in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales lies the deepest caldera in the Southern Hemisphere. At the focal point of the caldera and still dominating the region is the eroded core of the once mighty Tweed volcano. Known as Wollumbin or ‘cloud catcher’ by the Bundjalung people, it was named Mt Warning by Captain James Cook in 1770, to warn mariners of the treacherous coastline between Fingal Head and Point Danger.
Nestled in the caldera below, set on 150 acres of farmland with the Pacific Ocean to the east and the Gondwana Rainforest to the west, lies the family run distillery where Husk Distillers practice their craft. Husk specialises in making Australia’s first Agricole rum and the world’s first colour changing gin, Ink Gin. Learn about our production methods by taking a distillery tour, and enjoy grazing boards and cocktails on the games lawn.
