We sent Constantine into the wilds of Australia (okay, he flew in from Fiji) to settle a debate we’ve had for ages: Is there actually good rum in Australia?
He teamed up with Steve Magarry from Sydney Rum Distillery and went full Rum Indiana Jones—tasting, exploring, and putting boots on the ground (and probably flip-flops). Verdict? Aussie rum is not just good—it’s legit.
Join us for the journey, the rums, and a couple laughs along the way.

Bryan and Constantine talk with Callum from Line44 (New Zealand) and Brett from Lyon Rum (Maryland/Rosalie Bay, Dominica). They discuss their paths into rum production, unique fermentation techniques, distillery mishaps, and what’s next for their brands.
