Beenleigh Artisan Distillery
About the Business
Welcome to Beenleigh Artisan Distillery, a renowned establishment located in Eagleby, Queensland, Australia. Situated at 142 Distillery Road, this bar and point of interest holds a special place in Australia's rich distillation history.
The story of Beenleigh Artisan Distillery begins in 1884, when fate brought an abandoned steamboat called the SS Walrus to the shores of 'Beenleigh', a sugarcane property on the Albert River. On board this vessel lay a magnificent copper still, which would soon become the catalyst for a remarkable journey. John Davy and Francis Gooding, the cane growers who discovered this treasure, wasted no time in utilizing it to distill their own spirit from the sugarcane on their property.
Today, almost 140 years later, Beenleigh Rum continues to be crafted at the very same riverside location. Proudly holding the title of Australia's oldest registered distillery, it possesses the esteemed 'Number 1' licence in the country.
At Beenleigh Artisan Distillery, we believe in simplicity and authenticity. Our ingredients remain as pure and uncomplicated as they were on the day we started. We source the finest sugarcane molasses from a local, family-owned mill, ensuring the highest quality. Our distillation process relies on pure Queensland rainwater, drawn from the dam adjacent to the distillery. We carefully select the best yeast and employ traditional copper pot distillation techniques, followed by tailored barrel maturation. Above all, we embrace the true craftsmanship demanded by genuine rum connoisseurs.
In each and every drop of our rum, you will experience the warm embrace of toasted caramel, a testament to the Queensland sunshine that bathes our distillery. Our spirits are meticulously distilled and aged with skill, passion, and patience, resulting in a truly exceptional product.
Congratulations on choosing Beenleigh Artisan Distillery, where you can savor the real Australian spirit. Join us and discover the exquisite taste that has captivated rum enthusiasts for generations.

And, if you are in the mood for a specialty cocktail or craft beer, you are also in luck. The staff are knowledgeable and welcoming; special shout out to Sharon who is a delight! In short, you need to visit."

"Staff were friendly & welcoming. We did the distillery tour which was interesting, but thought it was expensive at $20 for 30 mins."
"Took the parents here for a tasting today. The rum was delicious, the surroundings were good but the service and the girls serving us made the experience sensational. They were very knowledgeable and knew exactly what they were talking about and very friendly. Cannot recommend a visit here enough."
