Beenleigh Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 20 Australia 14 Years 2007

It‘s a very good complex and delicious rum with a nice lovely fruity/roasted/woody Profile. Only minus is that tje Alcohol could be intergrated better. If you add some drops of water, it will help a lot. For me one of the best rums of 2021 Nose: fruity, banana, blackberry, overripe fruits, mandarin, apricot, alcoholic, varnish, ginger, spicy, tobacco Mouth: Full bodied, strong, dry, elegant, intense, oak, vanilla, roasted, spicy, dried fruits, dried currants, banana, green apple Finish: medium long, astrigend, dry, delicious, young wood, oak, tannins, burnt sugar #bottlekill

Australian Rums Tasting, Rum Club Switzerland. A restrained, balanced nose of luxurious wood, yellow fruit and especially apple, with a delicate floral edge. The palate is silky and floral (rose), with tobacco and, above all, sour apple. It's like being in a cellar where apples age. The finish is long and balanced. Vanilla emerges on the finish. A slight curry in the empty glass. A splendid rum, all finesse and balance. A slight spiciness at the very end disturbs me a little.

A great rum from Australia. With a lot of power, but still not too exhausting.

A great representative from Australia. Full-bodied, strong and decidedly fruity. Chocolate is added to the finish. Definitely worth a trip.

Very different from the velier 2006. Much more dark aromas of cocoa, coffee, cinnamon, leather, tobacco, blackberries and banana. But also the typical notes of pear and slightly floral notes are present. Overall, however, it is a bit too smoky and woody for me. Alcohol could also be a little better integrated here but for the price it is more than fair. Definitely one of the best full proof Australians on the market! I personally prefer but more the even fruitier

I had first as a barrel sample on the 10th GRF, then still thought he had 75%. He had pleased me already there!Nose: half an hour in the glass, then he is ready. Full-bodied, intense and round. A whole fruit basket: cherry, blackberry, juicy pear, mealy banana, fresh tangerine. A slightly vinegary red wine tone is there. Plus a heavy sweetness of maple syrup and burnt sugar. Lots of spicy notes behind that too: damp pipe tobacco with vanilla, light mocha with cocoa powder and some milk chocolate. Palate: stronger and fuller attack, much less fruity but spicy. A bit salty-bitter and dry, aromatic cherry wood. Then black currant and pear skin after all. A bit smoky and bacony and out the back again the pear.So far the best Australian for me.

Incredibly balanced and consistently great buried Nlten with a touch of vanilla. Really really good to the 85 points is missing me personally but something. But without a doubt the best Australian I had.

After tasting the barrel sample (then still at 74%) at the 10th GRF in Berlin, I knew that I needed this rum. Surprisingly quickly, it went on sale just four weeks later. The nose is incredibly exciting, with a duel between chocolate and tropical and dark red fruits. Very complex and harmonious. Powerful on the palate, not quite as inviting as the nose, as the alcohol is still very present. Perhaps it needs a little more time in the glass. Nevertheless, very tasty, great variety and very good PLV!

Is in direct comparison with the TRC clearly ahead - spicy, intense, overall simply rounder. Although not a complexity miracle, but simply a pleasure to drink. Great rum!

8,3:On the nose, the first impression we get is very fruity with diverse fruits like apricot, banana, grape, citrus and quite obvious varnish.The wood is spicy and roasted with baking spices, caramel, burnt sugar and nuts. On aeration, the molasses is a bit vegetal, some notes as tobacco, leather, coffee become stronger. 8,4:On the palate, the attack is very fruity and woody with pineapple, dried fruits, berries, green apple and pear, later yellow fruits.The wood is very spicy with baking spices, vanilla, roasted with chocolate, caramel and maple. After nice rest, the molasses is darker with a licorice/herbs, tobacco and flowery with a rose...and smoke arises. Very pleasant now. 8,4:The finish is long with charred wood notes, dry and spicy, a bit tannic, still fruity, in the end some curry joins the play...

For me already a classic. And, if I see it right, clearly by most here with the best rated Australian (at all and of the year 2007 anyway). And rightly so! It is simply incredibly balanced, complex and deep. I find the alcohol rather beneficial than disturbing, it rounds off the powerful, earthy overall impression. Happy the one who can still have that in the glass! 😉

Un Beenleigh haut en couleurs et avec de l’énergie à revendre. Le nez est très intense, très fruité (poire, raisin, abricot, agrumes, fruits tropicaux) avec des notes herbacées sur le thé très douces. Les épices (cannelle, gingembre, piment, vanille), le caramel et le sucre brûlé offre beaucoup de rondeur, tandis que le tabac, le cuir, le boisé rôti et le vernis donnent du caractère. Un rhum au profil bien trempé. On retrouve un rhum avec une très belle bouche qui se veut harmonieuse, fruitée (fruit de la passion, baies), épicée (cannelle, piment, poivre) et fumée. Le profil est peu moins frais que le nez mais conserve la gourmandise et la maîtrise des arômes (notamment pour le vernis, le tabac, le boisé et les épices). L’alcool est palpable avec la chaleur mais reste bien intégré dans ce profil complet et savoureux. La finale est longue, tannique et astringente, mais conserve un côté fruité et épicé très aromatique (poire, pomme, raisin, abricot). Le cuir, le café, le tabac et le boisé alimente le côté pêchu, tandis que le thé adoucit la finale et le sucre brûlé arrondit les angles, formant un rhum complet, intense mais opulent. Une excellente mise en bouteille d’un rhum australien, un véritable porte-étendard de son terroir.

Heute 5 Australier im Glas. 1. Rum Club 14 yr: hellfruchtig, am Gaumen sehr präsent mit mittellangen Abgang. 83 Pkt. 2. Rom Deluxe no. 40 15yr: Schon ganz anders, als der erste Rum Club. Wesentlich trockener. Ebenfalls sehr fruchtig, wobei die Früchte hier eher dunkel beerig sind. Der Abgang ist leider etwas mettalisch. 85 Pkt. 3. Rum Club no. 40 16 yr: Ähnlich qie der erste Rum Club, nur mit mehr Holz und wesentlich trockener. Wenn auch nicht so trocken, wie der Rom Deluxe. Finde den Alkohol hier nicht gut eingebunden. 80 Pkt. 4. RA 2007 15 yr: Ähnelt vom Profil dem ersten Rum Club sehr durch seine dominanten hellen Früchte. Bei diesem Rum jedoch viel intensiver und komplexer. Ein absolutes Feuerwerk, was hier am Gaumen abgeht! Aprikose, Mirabelle und Pfirsisch in einer so intensiven Form ist beeindruckend. Wäre der Abgang etwas länger wäre das ein grandioser Rum. Aber auch so sehr gut! 88 Pkt. 5. Ferroni 2013: Absolut nicht vergleichbar mit den Kollegen. Total fassgetrieben. Sehr intensiv am Gaumen mit dunklen Früchten, nassem Holz und Leder. Wer Rums mit sehr starkem Fasseinfluss mag, hat hier einen perfekten Begleiter für den Abend am Feuer gefunden. Mir gefällt er auch. 81 Pkt. Die prägnante Trockenheit vom Rom Deluxe finde ich klasse. Ein Stück Wüste im Mund =D Ebenfalls hebt er sich etwas von den anderen ab, durch seine dunklen Früchte. Die beiden RC und der RA sind am besten vergleichbar, wobei hier der RA für mich mot großem Abstand der Beste ist.

Un sample que j'ai depuis longtemps. On le goûte ce soir avec des amis. Bon vraiment les rhums à plus de 60% j'ai de plus en plus de mal. Ça ferme un peu les arômes et brûle mon nez trop délicat 😉 Donc avec un peu d'eau. Sinon c'est un beau spécimen de ce qui se fait en Australie.

The nose is a bit startling at first with pungent alcohol, but if you dare you have a bombastic mix of dried fruit in an oak forest and a saucy long finish.
