Kalki Moon releases a new Bundaberg-inspired cane spirt

Bundaberg’s award-winning Kalki Moon Distilling and Brewing Company has announced the long-awaited release of Plant Cane – part one of its Cane Farmer series of premium rums and cane spirits.

Inspired by the rich agricultural community of Bundaberg, Plant Cane is a light-coloured cane spirit that delivers the trademark flavour of Bundaberg’s red soil sugar cane with a light nod to the easy Southern Great Barrier Reef climate.

Plant Cane is the perfect base for light summer classics like mojitos and daiquiris and it’ll even hold its own in a Light ‘n’ Stormy cocktail, complementing the rich gingers of the region’s iconic brewed drink.

Founded in 2017 by former Bundaberg Rum master distiller Rick Prosser, Kalki Moon is owned and operated by the multi-generational Prosser family.

“The Cane Farmer Series pays homage to the men and 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. 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”.

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