Visit Us - Beenleigh Rum

Visit our distillery

Beenleigh is Australia’s oldest operating distillery, surrounded by both sugarcane and rum distillery history. We created Australia’s original Rum, back before even Coca Cola was invented. Over 136 years later we’re still crafting small-batch rum the traditional way, at our distillery on the banks of the Albert River in Eagleby QLD.

Beenleigh is expanding its offerings at the distillery with the opening of the Distillery Restaurant. This gastro-style culinary haven promises an experience that any rum aficionado would love.

We booked the tour and tasting and were all thoroughly impressed. Our tour guide was new but gave us plenty of information on the history of the distillery and the current processes used and then set up a great tasting of 5 different products.We were given notes and explanations of the changes in flavours and their Rums exceeded our expectations, even though I've already drank a few bottles of their 5 year. Afterwards, one of our group tried some of their gins and we were equally impressed, great flavours and very drinkable even straight.In the end I had to take home a couple bottles, great value for money, great quality!Response from the ownerHi Jase!

Got to see every step of the process even getting to smell the mash. Never had this in depth experience of being that close to the process. An example to other alcohol producers.Response from the ownerHi Basil! Thanks for your kind words! We take a lot of pride in our work, so thank you!

We have previously been on a tour and it is incredibly informative and educational. The tasting was great too. This venue is beautiful for chilling and enjoying the drinks. However, this venue would not be 5 stars without its staff. A massive shoutout to Logan, you are an absolute asset to the company. Your warm welcome and passion for your job is evident. My husband and I wish you all the best with your promotion. Thank you also to Tia another asset to the company. You are an awesome manager and we look forward to seeing you all again.Response from the ownerHi Bhavna, it was a pleasure to chat to you and your husband at our Dragon release night, we appreciate the 5 star review and kind words also. Logan and myself welcome you both to come back once the restaurant opens next month. Spiced rums will be awaiting for you.

Had to walk there from Beenliegh train station, I had decided to have a tasting after the tour. I was the only person on the tour, so it was a very personal type of tour to take. Learned the history of the place the brewing and distilling methods, the tasting was exceptionally very well presented and the rums themselves were tasty. The truly exceptional was but was one of the staff offered to take me back to the train station. That was much appreciatedResponse from the ownerHi Stuart, Thank you for your 5star review. It was lovely to meet you today and I'm glad you enjoyed your time with us. Make sure you visit again once our restaurant comes in 4 weeks time.
