Beenleigh RA Australia Rum Inner Circle MAIC10 2007

Ein guter Rum mit einer grandiosen Story (barrel aged thoughts...) im hintergrund. Mein erster Australier, der mit seinen hellen Früchten und einer guten Intensität am Gaumen schon andeutet, was sein Nachfolger von RA zu leisten vermag. der Abgang ist sehr kurz. Für Einsteiger vllt. der perfekte Rum.

#5044 10.01.2025 Enjoying some samples at home. Nose Light wood, spice, fruits, light pear, light apple, cinnamon, light mineral, light citrus. Palate Round, light wood, light pear, light apple, cinnamon, light earthy, light mint. Finish Long, light wood, fruits, light citrus, light apple, spice, light tea, light mineral. The empty glass has nice apple, spice, mint and dried fruit notes.

die Fleischige Note ist echt heftig. Muss man mögen😄 dahinter verbirgt sich aber das typische leichte Ester Profil von Beenleigh mit grünem Apfel, Birne, Schokolade und Zitrus Abrieb, unter anderem Bergamotte. Zum damaligen Kurs ein geiler Rum.

Vieux sample qui traîne depuis fort longtemps dans l'étagère. J'aime beaucoup le coté floral des Beenleigh donc comparaison avec le Beenleigh 2013. C'est moins floral, plus métallique. Cela reste assez fruité mais essentiellement sur les agrumes. Bonne bouteille mais qui ne me marquera pas non plus. Le 2013 est nettement plus dans mes goûts.

Nose: relatively strong, alcoholic, sticky at the beginning, slightly smoky, a little herbal, very interesting and different from other rums. Makes you want more. Taste: quite strong, alcohol tingles neatly on the sides of the tongue,yet not too strong, alcohol content well chosen. By the tingling also not at all boring. A bit fruitier than on the nose, the smoke is there, almost something burnt on the palate, creamier the longer in the mouth, does not burn despite its power! Well done, I like it well.Finish: Long, warms, spicy, slightly woody.

Ein Ester-Rum?! Könnte auch ein Jamaikaner mit tropischer Lagerung sein! Ester, den man alle bekannten Frucht-Assoziationen (z.B. eines gelagerten Hampdens) zuordnen kann. Gute Trinkstärke, leckeres und komplexes Profil.

A good rum that knows how to please, the fruitiness with the bitter spicy notes fits. A very good Australian in this glass. I really like it.

Oha a very interesting Artesanal rum. Slightly alcoholic on the nose. But the honey is also clearly recognizable. The taste is a little meaty or tends towards bacon. Certainly takes some getting used to.

I have emptied this sample without making many notes, so I have to fill from memory. However, both times I tasted it this was a very good experience, a mix between fruit, Caramel and wood. I highly recommend this!

Pretty neat!

A refreshing good rum that knows how to please very much , the fruitiness in the interplay with the slightly more tart spicy notes I like very much!

A nice beenleigh, pretty standard anyway. This is from the pombe era, a much fatter and rounder profile. The usual agrumes notes are the most noticeable along with a lot of spices. Some sweet notes, almost honeyed, and the wood influence complete the profile

Tested against RX10872. He definitely needs time, but if you give him this he becomes a very good taste experience. Was skeptical at first, but now I find him really good. Has definitely become rounder than I initially assumed.

Am I just lucky or the guys from Rum Artesanal do just pick wonderful barrels? This Australian rum is really pleasant, very fruity, with grapefruit and apple (I’d say green ones) upfront, than some wood, spices (vanilla and maybe a touch f ginger) and roasted almonds. The sweet note I get really reminds me of honey. After some times I do get a slight hint of esters, but waaay less than a typical Jamaican rum. The finish is decently long and adds up some bitter chocolate, but it still remains fresh. You better watch out, because in no time you might drink the whole glass, maybe more than one :D

After the TCRL, another Australian that appeals. Definitely a style that can be easily distinguished from other countries.
