Irgendwie für mich ein komischer Rum. Diese australische Profil hat schon immer seine Eigenheit gehabt, aber dieser ist noch ein bißchen eigener. Finde ihn zu alkoholisch und ein wenig zu unausgewogen. Leider nicht , das mich wirklich überzeugt. Den Rest vom Sample mit Cola gemixt, aber auch da leider kein Highlight
Beenleigh is not quite my profile ... so this one doesn't quite meet my taste either. But if you like the eucalyptus, lemon (-grass), ginger, honey, nut profile with some fruit, you will get your money's worth. The oily texture should perhaps be emphasized (probably also due to the long Australian storage and the crisp fullproof). Alcohol could be better integrated, but the finish is long-lasting. Clearly benefits from some ageing time
#5123 01.03.2025 tasting at Whiskymessen.dk 2025. Nose Light wood, faint roasted, light mint, spice, light ginger, light citrus, faint caramel. Palate Light wood, medium dry, faint smoke, light citrus, spice, faint anise, light mint, faint marzipan, faint nutts. Finish Very long, wood, light roasted, fruits, light citrus, ginger, spicy, medium dry, faint marzipan. Needs to rest for a while to really open up properly.
The first 2006 Beenleigh to date apart from the Velier. And it is very similar to the Velier, only with more citrus and less aniseed. Gigantic nose of lots of lemongrass and citrus fruits (kumquat, lime peel, orange peel) plus fresh eucalyptus, some incense and candied ginger with honey. Reminds me a bit of citrus sauna infusion in a positive way! 😅 The taste is then very thick, oily and incredibly fresh after lemongrass and eucalyptus. Then red grape. Slightly smoky and floral. White tea with jasmine. Very complex and heavy. The alcohol is surprisingly well integrated (if you let it breathe long enough in the glass)! The fresh lemongrass also comes through in the finish. For me, this is one of my new top Beenleigh references and probably on a par with the RA Beenleigh 2007!
