JOIN THE INNER CIRCLE
Inner Circle Rum was once the exclusive preserve of Australia’s Colonial Sugar Refining Company’s board of directors and a handful of its prized clients. Even they were only entitled to the occasional bottle.
Despite its limited availability, word of Inner Circle’s unique flavour became legendary – whispered amongst rum enthusiasts the world over.
After some years, Inner Circle is now fully Australian-owned and operated again. It is produced at the Beenleigh Artisan Distillery using traditional Pot Stills, keeping in line with how it was once produced by CSR from 1855-1986.
It is now produced for all to enjoy, and the excited whispering about this incredible Rum has begun anew.
Welcome to the Inner Circle.
