After discovering that rum in Australia was not being reflected in the right light, we have set out for change. The Brix vision is to share our passion and adventures with Australia and the world.

In 2017, we set out to find a site where we could establish an urban distillery that showcased the best that Australia has to offer. We challenged ourselves to source the best quality Australian molasses, fresh organic sugar cane, an Australian made copper still, the best quality native spices, and Australian wine barrels from some of the best wine making regions of the world.

Our goal is ​to combine these amazing ingredients to create a unique Aussie rum. A rum that can be enjoyed in the bars of Australia and in our own backyards.

This class was incredible and so informative. The teacher was very friendly and was very educated in all things rum. He was so enthusiastic and you would tell he really loved doing his job.
The venue was very neat and clean and very inviting. Everything was well prepared and organized and in great condition. Very thought out.
It was definitely worth the money spent and I'll be 100% doing it again next time I'm in Sydney.

Aiden was very knowledgeable and we learnt so much about the history of rum and how it is made. We spiced our rums with two very generous pours. The platter, sliders and tacos were also delicious. We had a fantastic time and highly recommend this class!

Our teacher was very knowledgeable about the process of rum and explained the information clearly. Making our own spiced rum was fun and the cheese and charcuterie plate was delicious. So many more workshops to do at Brix Rum.

Great class. The teacher was very knowledgable and gives you an opportunity to really appreciate your favourite flavours. I like the upstairs area the class is held in, allows you an opportunity to really focus and gives you the VIP feeling. It's great to learn that Brix collaborates with other nearby businesses. Make sure to bring your best pun game for naming you new rum creation. Overall fun and informative.

Great location for a spice class. It was great being in the place where the whole process starts to where you end up with rum. The instruction was definitely knowledgable and very passionate about the whole process. It showed when he was giving us the walk through of how you get good rum. The class itself was quite fun and really open to how adventurous you want to be.

Nicole Valenton • Feb 2022


The class was a perfect date activity for my partner and I. The teacher was engaging and explained the distilling process of rum very well. The materials and snacks provided were also top notch. Would recommend to any one who is curious about how rum is processed and bottled. It was also great to bring home our own spiced blends.
