“Still very restrained and slightly pungent on the nose ... the palate is already much more intense. Super fruity and really easy to drink for the high ABV, which surprised me. It's already a delicious drop.”

“The nose is very fruity, intense citrus and yellow fruit, the palate loses something, initially a heavy honey sweetness that changes to a spicy and unfortunately somewhat alcoholic side, the finish is toasty, woody spicy.”

“Une petite dynamite liquide. Le nez se prépare comme la poudre à canon avec les épices qui viennent faire vibrer les narines (piment, poivre, vanille). On y décèle des notes de noix rôties, de caramel, de sucre brun et des fruits assez variés, allant des fruits jaunes aux agrumes (citron), en passant par les fruits tropicaux, la pomme et les fruits secs (abricot, raisin). Il y a une légère note d’esters qui rafraîchit l’ensemble, mais on sent que le profil n’attend qu’à exploser en bouche. L’effet en bouche ne trompe pas : l’explosion provoque une petite déflagration au palais mais avec pas mal d’arômes qui viennent en seconde vague, notamment les fruits (citron, poire, papaye, pomme, fruits secs), le boisé rôti, les esters ainsi que les épices et les notes mielleuses et de caramel chaud. Le fruité ne se mélange pas aux autres saveurs et prend le dessus, mais la chaleur de l’alcool est bien présente, ce dernier pouvant être un tout petit peu mieux intégré. La finale est un poil courte, elle laisse un souvenir plus terne de la puissance du jus en bouche. On retrouve les notes épicées, rôties, boisées et caféinées, mais aussi les fruits sur le citron et la poire et quelques notes douces sur le sucre brun et le miel. Un rhum qui donnera un coup de fouet sous n’importe quelles circonstances mais à consommer avec parcimonie.”

“Jetzt der Rumclub Australia No. 35. Nase hat schöne Noten von Vanille, Karamell, braunem Zucker und jungem Holz. Am Gaumen dann Honig, Vanille, sehr röstig und auch junges Holz. Der nicht ganz so gut eingebundene Alkohol verhindert eine bessere Bewertung.”

“Dieser Rum verbindet Anklänge eines Esterrums mit harmonischen Noten und einer jungen Lagerung. Kann ganz nett sein, allerdings habe ich bei einem solchen ABV mehr Intensität erwartet. Um das Mundgefühl nicht zu überwältigen, kann etwas Wasser hinzugegeben werden. Der röstige Geschmack ist sehr angenehm.”

“To be honest, I was a little afraid of what to expect with this enormous alcohol content when I tasted the rum neat, but that was completely unnecessary. I would never have expected such a pleasant mouthfeel. Nothing burns, there is no recognizable numbing effect. Instead, I can literally feel how - given a little nip - the alcohol in my mouth diffuses through the mucous membrane into the blood and is replaced by saliva, releasing a huge load of bright fruit. Absolutely impressive and extremely tasty!”

“At first I wasn't the least bit interested in the Aussies, but gradually I'm finding my way to them and this is the best representative of this continent so far for me. Smooth fruity honeyed entry, perfectly integrated alcohol despite the high abv. Medium-bodied finish that left a very pleasant mouthfeel. Super.”

“As Gunnar says - if you don't know what you have in the glass, you won't get to Australia. The rum is wonderfully fruity - or rather floral - with a nose of apple and marc/grape brandy/cognac. In the mouth, green apple really does dominate, so much so that I had to compare it with a Calvados at first, and blindly I would actually guess Calvados rather than rum. Unfortunately, the finish is a little short. I have to admit that I'm now a big fan of the rum club bottlings, as they always come up with unique edges and flavor nuances for me. And this bottling is once again exceptional. For 5 euros less than the Australian from last year/the year before last, there is a huge discrepancy in the PLV in my opinion. Of course, it is something completely different in terms of taste, but in my opinion it lacks depth for the price, which in turn may not suit its taste profile at all. At 14 years old, the No. 20 is way ahead in terms of intensity, complexity, depth and finish, and it must also serve as a reference for the evaluation here. Of course, I don't know what costs are behind such a rum and I also understand very well that as a retailer you want to, should and may earn money with it - for my taste, I only notice a huge difference in the plv to Rumclub No. 20 as a benchmark.”

“Slightly less complex than the 2007 Beenleighs, with clear hints of fruit brandy. The alcohol is well integrated, but overall not a rum that I would need a whole bottle of.”

“I am pleasantly surprised by the beautiful fruitiness of this rather young Australian. The almost 70% are perfectly integrated. Of course, vintages like 2006 & 2007 are a different caliber. But the young Australian also gives me great pleasure”
