The final release for 2024 for the 1871 Club. Celebrate history with The Maroochy Cane Rum, an extraordinary rum honouring the legacy of the Moreton Central Sugar Mill, where Sunshine Coast sugar cane shaped stories from 1897 to 2003. Crafted exclusively for the 1871 Club, this release captures the spirit of Nambour’s iconic fields, fires, and cane trains. The first-ever Nil Desperandum Rum made from 100% sugar cane juice, it’s wild-fermented in rainforest surroundings, pot distilled, and aged 2 years and 9 months in a bourbon barrel emptied of sherry. Vibrant notes of pineapple, pear, melon, and cucumber unfold with every sip—a pure expression of Maroochy River’s fertile origins. Available exclusively to the 1871 Club, The Maroochy Cane is a rare and timeless collector’s item to complete your 2024 journey.-Awards & Accolades:• Silver, Overproof Rum Dark, Royal Queensland Distilled Spirits Awards 2025• Silver, Overproof Rum Dark, Australian Distilled Spirits Awards 2025
