Beenleigh Plantation Australia 2009 (Palo Cortado Sherry Cask Finish)
Most enjoy the fruity, spicy sherry twist and gentle smoke, though several find it thin, unharmonious or slightly bitter. Consensus: a decent, characterful sipper but below the best Beenleighs.
Curious explorers who enjoy medium-strength, fruity-spicy rums with a sherry influence, light smoke and herbal notes, and who want to get to know Beenleigh without heavy sweetness or high ABV.

Fruity-spicy Beenleigh with smoky sherry twist
If you like characterful but not overpowering finished rums, this gives you Beenleigh fruit, palo cortado sherry and a touch of smoke—just know it’s more quirky than polished.
Those chasing cask-strength power, very cohesive complexity, or a clean, non-smoky profile; anyone especially sensitive to light bitterness in the finish.

Interesting grassy taste
Erinnert an Floki Sheep Dung 😖
On The Rocks: On the nose a pleasant sweetness and Sherry notes with a subtle oak and spice undertone. Taste reveals an immediate spice and oak with a subtle sweetness with fruit that goes a little bitter into the finish. There is a pleasant Sherry presence in the taste that disappears in the finish. Finish is long with the oak and bourbon spice and slight bitterness continuing. Overall this is another flavour bomb release that is only good in small quantities. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose dusty old warehouse. Taste reveals a nice subtle sweetness and Sherry presence. You could drink a larger glass of this mixed but it would be a shame.
Very unspectacular rum. Good as a daily sipper or paired with a desert and coffee Lacks in complexity and body. Miles away from the 2007 versions I’ve tried so far.
