Our RumX community notes a vibrant, complex aroma of citrus, ginger, eucalyptus, and subtle woody spice. On the palate, this limited-release rum offers an intense yet evolving flavor profile that balances bold alcohol warmth with fresh, herbaceous notes.

    This is real dynamite. Citrus fruits on the nose and palate. The 67.6% also gives it a lot of oomph on the palate and a very long, beautiful finish. It lingers long after the sip. Really pleasant.

    Fantastic Rum, amazing nose with a long long mouthfeel 😋😋😋. Not for all kind of taste. This is the best 2006 Beenleigh for me 🤩

    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!

    01-03-2025 One of the better Beenleigh I have tasted. Decent age and high ABV of 67,5% Finish not strong enough.
