    • Intense citrus and orchard fruit
    • Well-integrated 59% ABV
    • Great value for fruit lovers

    Inviting citrus and honey lead the charge in Beenleigh's Fine Australian Rum, revealing aromatic layers of vanilla, ripe pear, and gentle spice. The palate offers a vibrant mix of orchard fruit, zesty marmalade, and nuanced oak, all delivered at a well-integrated 59%. Tasters appreciate its fresh fruit-forward profile and satisfying depth, though some wish for greater complexity. Worth a sip for those who enjoy elegant, fruit-driven rums with a bright, balanced finish.

    "Rum and chocolate tasting and Australia from Rum Club Switzerland. A nose of tropical fruit (banana, pineapple), citrus, varnished wood and sweetness (pastries). A floral note completes the nose. The palate has a fairly soft, spicy attack, with cedar, fruit and floral notes emerging later. The finish is medium, with fruit and wood on the finish. Empty glass, fruit and wood varnish in harmony. A beautifully balanced rum. It lacks a little depth, but it's very well made and a pleasure to drink."

    "2015 / 2013 / 2006 side-by-side from the freshly opened bottles. While I have to admit, that Australia isn’t my favorite origin, the both younger bottlings really aren’t my cup of tea. Rather sharp and alcohol forwards. Citrus, apples, pear are dominating. Same is true for the 2006. Here the overall balance is much better, however. While the 2006 is enjoyable, I’m no fan of the younger one. That is from the open bottle. From past experience those bottles get better with some oxidation. Verdict to be revisited."

    "I like it better on the second tasting. Nice citrus and orange notes on the nose, coupled with vanilla and spice. Alcohol well integrated. The same aromas on the palate. Nice attack, then unfortunately flattens out quickly."

    "A powerful and spicy rum where ginger, pomegranate and fig dominate. The aftertaste is long with flavors of cherry, apricot and almond as well as licorice 😋"
