Episode Thirty - Quentin Brival [Husk Distillery, Northern Rivers, NSW]

Fermenting Place

My guest for Episode Thirty of the Fermenting Place [podcast] is head distiller for Husk Distillers, Quentin Brival...

Hailing from the small Caribbean Island of Martinique - the birthplace of Rhum Agricole - Quentin has made a home for himself in Australia, nearby the tiny town of Tumbulgum, on the banks of the Tween River, within the peaceful Northern Rivers region of New South Wales.

Sitting outside, over looking the swaying sugarcane that was then ripening in the field, whilst sharing my new favourite drink, Quentin and I shared a very cool conversation about all things Agricole; how Husk became Australia's first agricultural rum distillery, intent on capturing place and their attempts to express the intrinsic terroir of the Tweed, through the unique medium of spirit distillation.

In Episode Thirty of the Fermenting Place [podcast], Quentin and I discuss...

• Growing Rum in Tumbulgum
• The Rich History of Carribean Agricole
• Pioneering Parallels with Colonial Winegrowers
• Impurities and Other Flavours
• Knowing, Accepting, and Embracing the Uniqueness of Place
• Texture, Time, and Ti Punch
• And Much More...
