To Beenleigh
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.
The best of the 3 Velier Beenleighs for me, but still not a good rum. The nose hints at yellow fruit or dried fruit. Then the watery, alcoholic base note on the palate. Perhaps the freshly opened bottles are also to blame. Will definitely get a 2nd and 3rd chance.
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.
Tasted the three Velier Beenleigh from the good little bottles together with DomM. My first impression is that not everything that says Velier on it is good. If the St. James range was already a flop, the Beenleigh range follows on seamlessly for me. Maybe I just don't understand this profile or have no taste, but they were all too alcoholic for me and had a bitter (not pleasant) aftertaste. The 2006 was slightly better than the other two, but not by much.
