Appointing an Administrator

RSM Australia has been appointed to manage the administration for the pioneer craft rum distillery in the country. The firm is presently considering all possible alternatives, including liquidating the company’s assets through a deed of company arrangement.

Brix Distillers, which was established in 2017, ran a bar in Surry Hills.

The primary responsibility of the administrators is to explore and identify all potential solutions to ensure the most favourable outcome not only for the creditors but also for the legacy of this Australian distillery brand. This includes exploring the sale of the business and its assets, according to Ben Carson, director at RSM.

The administrators are currently in discussion with several parties who have shown interest in the future of this premium craft rum brand and its business operations.
