About

Nil Desperandum is Australia's Finest Rum.

Australia Certified Organic rum. We use wild fermented, locally sourced molasses, Woombye water, dunder and muck. Double pot distilled, then AGED FOR A MINIMUM OF 2 YEARS in bourbon barrels emptied of sherry and port – on Australia’s beautiful sub-tropical Sunshine Coast.

DELICIOUS. 100% pure unadulterated rum. NIL additives.
NIL added sugar, sweeteners, caramel, glycerine, flavours, colours or chemicals.

Our inspiration comes from the cane fields of our Sunshine Coast home and the fervent belief that it’s about time Australia had a rum equal to the world’s best!

Founded by Matt Hobson and Michael Conrad in 2019.
