TCRL Beenleigh Australia 2014

Nice alcohol strength. Not too much not too little. Very nice after brioche

Actually always impressed so far with the cask choices of independent bottles with beenleigh. Super dry and top profile. Fruit and buttery doughy profiles that are well integrated with wood notes of a bourbon cask

Tasted at UK RumFest but later in the day, so just an initial overall rating given.

The half-empty bottle has been sitting in my cupboard for a year now. This waiting time has really done the rum a lot of good. The nose is extremely fruity, sweet and the apple mentioned several times comes across even better than in the freshly opened bottle at the time. It has many similarities with an English Harbour Antigua, which I really like. The 48% burn is less than a year ago. Mirabelle plum, wood and caramel have a positive influence on the palate and the slight floral note makes the whole thing even more interesting. Very tasty.

24.02.2023 Enjoying some samples at home with a good friend. Colour Light to medium dark in colour. Nose Light wood, floral, light raisin, cherry, light honey, spice, cardamom. Palate Round, light wood, faint roasted, light flowery, spice, light orange, faint raisin, light cherry. Finish Medium long, light wood, fruits, grapes, spice, light floral, faint orange.

Überraschend komplex! Zu Anfang eine ganz leichte Minze und Bourbon-Anklang, die dann in Vanille und Karamell umschlagen. Im Abgang kommt dann der Apfel hinzu, der sich im Gaumen festsetzt und für ein tolles Geschmacksbild sorgt. Trotz fehlenden Zuckers und der 48% überraschend mild und angenehm zu trinken. Mein erster Australier und bestimmt nicht mein letzter. Kein Schnapper, aber für Freunde milder, aber nicht gesüßter Rums ein echter Geheimtipp abseits der karibischen Inseln.

Quite pleasant to drink...alcohol could be better integrated.

Mundet. I only knew the Beenleigh 2013 from Australia so far. A similar fruity profile on the nose, I recognized the green apple, although the community probably tends more towards pears. The influence of both casks is noticeable on the palate, very bourbony profile, but you can also recognize the cognac.

Eucalyptus hits the nose first. Butterscotch and dried figs following. A good mix of herbal and spicy notes. The eucalyptus is still prominent for me on the palate. Very Dry. White grapes also present with a bitter barrel note that I wasn't expecting from the nose. Somewhat nutty. The finish is quite short. Notes of brioche buns and black tea mainly. A nice rum. Not something for those who like the sweeter rums but it's interesting.

This Transcontinental Line is very successful. There are lots of herbs on the nose, especially mint. The palate is then also predominantly very herbal and lots of mint. I find such mint-flavored rums really delicious.

Very good Beenleigh despite the dilution.

For 48%, the alcohol is a bit too dominant. Pleasantly fruity, very reminiscent of a fruit brandy.

Great glass

delicate, good, spicy aroma

I really like the nose,this creamy toffee combined with the minty freshness and subtle spice. On the palate woody,spicy. Bourbon with herbs. Seems a bit thin. After several sips it remains surprisingly long in the mouth, but not much more than wood and bitterness.For this price segment quite a good rum, like almost all of TCRL.
