TCRL Beenleigh Australia 2014 7yr 48%

"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"

"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."

"Very good Beenleigh despite the dilution."

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

"Solider Einsteiger beenleigh aber insgesamt hinten raus etwas bitter und tannin-betont. Alkohol könnte deutlich besser integriert sein..."

"Der Rum ist trocken und herbal, so wie ich das von Australien erwarte. Das Fass kommt aber auch mit jungem, frischem Holz durch, dazu eine leichte Fruchtigkeit. Am Gaumen im ersten Moment auch leicht süßlich. Kräuter im Abgang"

"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."
