Brix Distillers have launched the first of their Distillery Talks series, aimed at bringing together rum enthusiasts in a relaxed and educational environment right at the heart of the Surry Hills distillery.
The first of the series centred on French Caribbean Rhum and highlighted the differences between molasses based rum and rhum agricole presented by Emmanuel Condé from Cerbaco & Spirits of France and Shane Casey, Brix Head Distiller.
The event begins with a cocktail on arrival at the Brix Distillers Bar before guests are seated upstairs and guided through a range of rums from the Caribbean region as well as Brix expressions, with matching food from the Brix kitchen. The evening showcased Saint James (Martinique), HSE (Martinique), Depaz (Martinique), Arcane (Mauritius) as well as Brix’s very own agricole expression made from sugar cane sourced from South East Queensland and crushed on site in Surry Hills.
Well-suited for all rum enthusiasts, from novice to expert, the talks are a great opportunity to expand your knowledge about rum in relaxed and friendly surrounds. Priced at $55 per person which include a cocktail on arrival and various rums paired expertly with food, the events represent great value for money and an opportunity to connect with other like-minded rum enthusiasts.
