About

Founder Warren had a passion for rum and began distilling in his backyard with friends, using an 80-liter still from Spain. He released his first batch of premium rum in 2016.

Our journey first started at Rockhampton's iconic Saleyards Hotel. Operating as the Saleyards Distillery, we crafted Capricorn Spiced Rum and Billy Goats Gin, named after the goat racing that the area was once famous for.

Due to the growing number of barrels, we moved and opened our new cellar door in Burleigh Heads in 2021, offering a bar, cocktails, free tastings, and tours. We take pride in producing award-winning spirits using only the finest local ingredients, free of added sugars, colours, and artificial flavors.

Our Products

We produce a range of Award Winning Rums and Gins. Our Spirits are all free from added sugars, sweeteners, colours and flavourings. We have an exciting range of new limited release products coming this year!!

Experiences

We offer a range of tour options, Including a free distillery tour of the warehouse. Most recently we have started Tiki cocktail classes, ceramic classes and soon we will have our rum blending classes available!
