Perola Beenleigh Bellamy‘s Reserve Australia MAIC12 2006
Highly praised cask‑strength Beenleigh with intense eucalyptus‑citrus profile, dry wood, big power and very long finish; needs time in the glass and can feel hot or monotonous to some.
Seasoned enthusiasts who enjoy high‑proof, dry Beenleigh rums with eucalyptus, citrus grass and ginger, and who like to let a glass breathe before sipping.

How does this rum taste?
Powerful eucalyptus‑citrus Beenleigh hitter
If you liked other 2006 Beenleighs or Bellamy’s high‑proof picks, this keeps that herbal eucalyptus‑citrus style but cranks up dryness, intensity and length—great if you enjoy big, structured pours.
Beginners, anyone sensitive to high ABV or looking for soft, sweet sipping rums; also not ideal if you dislike herbal, eucalyptus‑forward profiles.

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.
Auto-translatedFantastic 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!
Auto-translated01-03-2025 One of the better Beenleigh I have tasted. Decent age and high ABV of 67,5% Finish not strong enough.
