Description
An amazing drop for the Tribe that defines ‘farm to bottle’ from one of Australia’s leading distilleries. A spirit that is as pure as it looks in the bottle and has to be made with only the freshest sugarcane, hence is only made and released once a year. Please welcome the Husk Pure Cane 50 Australian Agricole.
Be warned, the crystal clear nature of this belies the absolute flavour monster that it is. Once you crack the top, the nose will instantly let you know you’re in for something very special, even life-changing! We are absolutely tickled pink to be offering the very latest release (Batch 3 – 2020 Cane Harvest) of Husk Distillers legendary ‘Pure Cane 50’!
For those who haven’t tried a pure, unaged agricole before – be prepared to be amazed! This is a sweet, sweet treat that exudes funk and cane sweetness.
The Husk Pure Cane 50 is the big (and I mean BIG) brother to Husk’s Pure Cane. The ‘standard’ Pure Cane is 40% – but the ‘Pure Cane 50’ is (as the name suggests) sold at 50% ABV giving the otherwise delightful ‘Pure Cane’ the kick in the pants it needs to really get that sweet and funky vibe!
Yep, unaged Agricole is definitely a blast right out of left field for those who have never experienced it before – and this Husk Pure Cane 50 is an absolutely brilliant example of the style.

Husk Pure Cane 50 Australian Agricole 2021 Release is a sweet, sweet treat that exudes funk and cane sweetness.
Our Tasting Notes
Nose: Fresh cut cane at first with a funky over-ripe tropical fruit note that really stands out. A touch of lipstick there as well in-behind it all plus a ‘mystery note’ that I cannot quite place!
Palate:Â Sweet, fruity, with some spice. Coats the mouth nicely with a big sweet burst of tropical fruit, a little spice and a weirdly (in a good way) astringent note that really gets in behind the tongue.
Finish:Â Sweet and long, rolling through a tropical orchard with older fruit left on the ground.
From Husk Distillery
This paddock to bottle spirit was made from sugarcane harvested towards the end of the 2020 season.
Pete harvested the sugarcane from the paddocks behind Husk Distillery and brought it to our sugar mill where Anthony and the team were waiting to extract the first press juice.
The fresh, vibrant juice was pumped straight into the distillery where our yeast got to work turning the highly concentrated sugars into alcohol.
The rich aromas and complex flavour compounds that developed in the fermentation reflect our unique terroir and the specific growing conditions of 2020.
These flavours concentrate in the distillation – for this batch, Pure Cane 50 was column distilled in our Forsyth still.
The distilled spirit was collected and slowly reduced, rested and gently stirred for several months to marry and preserve those bold characteristics.
Rum lovers will best enjoy this full flavoured cultivated cane spirit in a punch, a daiquiri or a piña colada.
Those who enjoy the sweeter things in life can also mix Pure Cane 50 with ginger beer and a squeeze of lime.
We hope you enjoy Husk Pure Cane 50 Australian Agricole – the new taste of Australian rum.
