International-award winning Bundaberg artisan distillery Kalki Moon has announced the long-awaited release of the first of their Cane Farmer Series of premium rums and cane spirits – Plant Cane.

Founded in 2017 by former Bundaberg Rum Master Distiller Rick Prosser, Kalki Moon Distilling & Brewing Co is Bundaberg’s most exciting artisan distillery and is owned and operated by the multi-generational Prosser family.

With a vision to always be a small batch rum producer, Kalki Moon has built their reputation with their internationally-lauded gins, whilst quietly developing their rums and cane spirits over years since they opened.

Inspired by the rich agricultural community of the Bundaberg region, the first of these is Plant Cane, a premium Australian cane spirit

The lovely light-coloured spirit delivers the trademark flavour of Bundaberg’s red soil sugar cane with a light finish that nods to the easy Southern Great Barrier Reef climate.

“The Cane Farmer Series pays homage to the men & women who have farmed our great land and growing sugarcane in the Bundaberg region for over a century,” said Rick Prosser.

“The region is built on the back of our agricultural industry and our farmers here in Bundaberg feed the nation from our rich red soils,” Mr Prosser said.

“All of our most famous exports have been born from the sugar cane, and it’s always been my calling since I learned my craft from the legendary local distillers to have my own range of spirits to pay tribute to my hometown of Bundaberg,” he said.

A perfect base for light summer classics like mojitos and daiquiris, Plant Cane will also hold its own in a Light & Stormy, complementing the rich gingers of the region’s iconic brewed drink, or in colas.

The Cane Farmer series will join Kalki Moon’s range of premium small-batch sprits, as well as their popular range of gins, vodkas and liqueur.

The distillery’s gins have been awarded medals at Australian Distilled Spirits Awards and International Wine & Spirits Competition and draw on iconic Bundaberg and native Australian ingredients such as ginger, finger limes, lemon and cinnamon myrtles for their botanicals

Plant Cane goes on sale Saturday 19 December 2020 from the Distillery Cellar Door or online at kalkimoon.com.
