    "I am torn between the two. On the one hand, I find it perfumed and soapy. Still, I like the flavor profile. To my sensibilities, the sherry finish didn't leave much of an impact. Not a highlight, but not a total failure either."

    "#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."
