Captain Moreton Spiced Rum

“Captain Moreton” label design tells a fascinating story about the early history of Brisbane, Australia. It’s about unfortunate events, some luck, an unexpected discovery, and irony to connect all of them. The central figure of this story is Thomas Pamphlett, an unforgettable character from Brisbane’s history. Convict, a survivor of a shipwreck, living with Aboriginal tribes, and an unexpected pathfinder, Pamphlett’s story is as flavorful as our rum! Along with John Oxley, they discovered the Brisbane River, paving the way for the city of Brisbane.
