How does this rum taste?
- fruit and spice with a nice light smoky note
- pleasant sherry presence in the taste
- good as a daily sipper
Plantation Australia 2009 (Palo Cortado Sherry Cask Finish) struck RumX tasters with its mix of sweet, fruity, and spicy notes, recurring light smoke and oak, and a subtle sherry influence that divided opinion. Several highlighted "fruity and spicy with a nice light smoky note" (Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰) while others found it "unspectacular...good as a daily sipper" (Galli33). There’s a clash between sweetness, wood, and some bitterness in the finish, and a grassy or even slightly peaty side peeked through for a couple of reviewers. Not all were sold on the influence of the sherry cask, but most agreed it brings some charm and variety.

"Ich bin hin- und hergerissen. Auf der einen Seite finde ich ihn parfümiert und seifig. Trotzdem gefällt mir das Geschmacksprofil. Für mein Empfinden hat das Sherryfinish keinen großen Einfluss hinterlassen. Kein Highlight, aber auch kein Totalausfall. Edit 17.04.25 Nach einer halben Flasche habe ich mich an das Profil gewöhnt und gebe ihm ein paar Punkte mehr."
"It turned out quite well!"
"#4095 This is a pretty good Beenleigh, but I would have loved a higher ABV. Fruity and spicy with a nice light smoky note to it. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has some coffee and light chocolate to it."
"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."
