Beenleigh Flensburg Rum Company Quokka Edition (Australian Small Batch Rum)

#4575 26-27.01.2024 Hanse Spirit This rum has a good price to quality. A nice Australian rum with a funny history Notes Light wood, faint smoke, fruit, light glue, marzipan. Palate Light wood, faint smoke, sweet, light glue, herbs, mint, faint marzipan. Finish Medium long, wood, dried fruit, light mint, marzipan.

I was actually really looking forward to this bottling as an easy sipping Australian.... But the sherry finish and the overall very short maturation time are unfortunately rather disappointing. Wood, incense, toasty wood and lots of dried fruit and pear/raisin from the clearly too dominant sherry finish. Could also be much rounder.... I had hoped for more.

Good entry-level rum! For the low alcohol content, it offers some complexity.

Wow, this is new! Never had some rum with this kind of flavour and smell... Intriguing. Not sure I like it for daily sipping, but it is tasty nonetheless. Herbal, sweet, fruity... More complex than I first thought.

The sherry finish definitely arrives on both the nose and the palate. However, it suits the Beenleigh very well, even if it pushes the usual flavors of the distillery into the background or takes them away completely

Probiert auf der Hanse Spirit 2024 Ich glaube Beenleigh ist einfach nicht ganz mein Profil. Alleine wegen des Etiketts hätte ich gerne ne Flasche, würde aber wohl zu selten danach greifen. Mir ist er als Sipper vermutlich etwas zu röstig auf Dauer und der Nagellack Geruch hat hier auch etwas das mir etwas weniger zusagt als bei anderen Abfüllungen mit einer ähnlichen Note.

Weniger süß, als ich aufgrund der anderen Bewertungen vermutet hatte. Zwar schmeckt man den Sherry ganz leicht heraus, allerdings überwiegt für mich die Würze mit etwas Banane und Schokolade. Ganz interessant, aber hätte vielleicht auch noch ein paar Jahre länger reifen können. Insgesamt ne ganz Runde Sache, aber nichts super Außergewöhnliches. Für den Preis allerdings gut.

Je to velmi specifický rum. Nejsem zrovna velký zastánce austrálie, ale tady jsem objevil takovou porci bylinek, že si nepamatuju kde toho bylo tolik jinde. Už ve vůni cítím něco, co sem citíval u babičky na zahrádce. V chuti se bylinky rozvinou ještě víc. To mě baví. Bohužel tomu chybí vyzrálost a chtělo by to vyšší abv.

Unscheinbar in der Nase, ein echtes Brett am Gaumen: die 6 jährlich frischen Fässer in seinen 7 Jahren schmeckt man schon, sind jedoch exzellent eingebunden.

Admittedly: 50% of the purchase decision here was the label. I stand by it. Love it.The other 50% were curiosity. Australians are known to me so far as quite edgy - so I was interested in how the barrels affect here.In the nose comes from which also directly very much through. Raisins, fig, sherry and fruitiness full. Quite juicy fruit schnapps, glue.On the palate, a refreshingly different picture emerges. Less sweet than expected, but thicker than expected. While in the first half briefly toasty approaches, a touch of chocolate and wood sloshing up the whole changes quite quickly to broad fruitiness, light raisin and fig and juicy fruit. After that it moves towards pear brandy, more sherry and a hint of floral notes.Somewhere around here the finish sets in which definitely has spiciness but a really pleasant mouthfeel. Less alcohol, more approaches of menthol.For me a hit, I like it. Who stands on sherry stories can strike here without hesitation.

A slightly different flavor profile for a change. I find it relatively complex, little sweetness but still fruity and light wood tones.

Less sweet than expected. Is good to drink in between

Gefällt gut, auch wenn dank des Sherries wenig von Beenleigh Profil über bleibt. Süß und süffig

On the nose, you can still recognize a bit of the Beenleigh profile. On the palate then much overlaid by the Oloroso and PX Cask Finish. But then very fruity and sweet, although less sweet than feared. Who likes it. There are clearly worse in the price segment.
