from Drinks Adventures - Wine, beer, whisky, gin & more with James Atkinson · host Wine, Beer & Whisky Network Australia

In this episode, we welcome Matt Hobson of Nil Desperandum Rum back to the show. Matt was last with us on the eve of Queensland Rum Day 2024 to discuss the debut release of The Rum Consortium, a history-making blend of rums from four Queensland distilleries including icons Bundaberg and Beenleigh. Queensland Rum Day 2025 is coming up this Friday October 2025, so there’s events and another special Rum Consortium release for you to suss out after listening to this interview with Matt. This time, we’re talking about the labelling laws for Australian rum, which Matt argues must be properly enforced in order to protect the reputation of Australian rum on the world stage.
