    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love the bright apple and citrus that emerge with warming spice once this cask‑strength Beenleigh has rested. Light wood, caramel and estery touches appear as the glass opens. The alcohol is assertive at first, so reviewers suggest letting it breathe (around 15 minutes). A limited 8‑year single cask (59.1% ABV, 225 bottles) already discussed by 10 reviewers, rewarding patience for a robust Australian profile.

    7.8/10 10 reviews

    I don't think me and Australia are going to be friends anymore. I was already very disappointed with the Velier Beenleigh, and this one follows on seamlessly. Just too unbalanced for me, too alcoholic. Not even cola and ice could change that. Better than a discount rum, yes, but nothing more.

    A fiery Beenleigh that needs time to be tamed. The nose is fairly aggressive, with hard alcohol notes and a hint of varnish and polish. Fruity notes (apple, pear, orange zest) follow, calming the olfactory aroma a little. Spices (pepper, vanilla) and caramel toffee give a relatively basic profile, typical of Australia. Alcohol dominates on the palate, unbalancing the few remaining aromas. The palate is anesthetized and continues to suffer despite aeration. A few notes of orange, apple, grape and pear make a last stand against the spices, very hot and spicy, caramel and pungent alcohol notes. The profile lacks structure, balanced aromas and depth. The finish is rather short-lived, tinged with warm notes of spice, caramel and dry oak. The apple and grape flavors are all but obliterated. There's not much else to take from this, except that this Beenleigh has a few shortcomings due to its obvious lack of maturity.

    Der Alkohol ist leider nicht sonderlich gut eingebunden. Benötigt längere Zeit im Glas, aber dann kommt immerhin eine angenehme Apfelnote durch. Dazu ein paar Gewürze. Leicht sprittig. Ist ok, aber gibt bessere von Beenleigh.

    Alcohol could be better integrated. Typical, good Australian!
