    "wow! referenz Australien single cask fĂŒr mich ab jetzt. Orangenschale und OrangenblĂŒten, sowie grĂŒne Trauben, Eukalyptus, Mandarine und weißer Tee an der nase. Geschmacklich extrem rund und mild und harmonisch. Rye Whisky Noten, sehr "Getreidig" trocken, an kirsche und Bratapfel Aromen erinnernd, dazu wieder diese gigantische Frische von Eukalyptus und Australische Finger limes/grapefruit und Mandarine, etwas Kakao, geröstete Mandeln, Mandel Makronen und im Abgang geht das ganze dann mehr Richtung Harz, OrangenblĂŒtenhonig und Traubengelee mit leichten Fass-Noten ĂŒber. gigantisch gut! PS: Sven Wolters (Rum rarities)hat gesagt schmeckt nach links rausgedrehtem Koala Ohrenschmalz 😃"

    "Un Beenleigh qui renferme pas mal de surprises, Le nez est assez lĂ©ger de prime abord mais cache bien son jeu avec pas mal d’arĂŽmes fruitĂ©s : agrumes (zeste d’orange et mandarine), pĂȘche, pomme et poire apportent beaucoup de fraĂźcheur au profil. À contrario, les Ă©pices (vanille, cannelle, rĂ©glisse, poivre, piment) forment avec le cĂŽtĂ© sucrĂ© du caramel, du nougat et du miel un mĂ©lange gourmand qui vient s’opposer au parfum floral et fruitĂ© prĂ©cĂ©demment Ă©voquĂ©. C’est un profil plutĂŽt variĂ© et intense qui s’ouvre avec le temps. L’attaque en bouche est puissante, marquĂ©e par une premiĂšre vague fruitĂ©e sur la poire, la pomme, la pĂȘche et le raisin. Viennent ensuite le boisĂ©, les Ă©pices (vanille, poivre, piment, rĂ©glisse, muscade), puis une touche alcoolique qui part sur le whisky, mais plus sur le cĂŽtĂ© cĂ©rĂ©alier que tourbĂ©. Le cĂŽtĂ© caramel et noisette grillĂ©e donne un peu de rondeur au profil. L’alcool est plutĂŽt bien intĂ©grĂ©. Le profil prend une tournure plutĂŽt inattendue, pas dĂ©sagrĂ©able mais pas aussi impressionnant qu’il ne laissait prĂ©sager. La finale est longue, sĂšche et puissante, mais perd un peu en aromatique comparĂ© au reste. On reste concentrĂ© sur des notes Ă©picĂ©es et boisĂ©es, sur les noix, le cuir et l’amertume, perdant ainsi le cĂŽtĂ© fruitĂ© pourtant allĂ©chant au nez (mis Ă  part une touche de mandarine et de raisin). MalgrĂ© ce petit manque de « vie », il n’en reste pas moins une sĂ©lection de qualitĂ© qui a son charme et de la complexitĂ©."

    "A very nice surprise from Australia and I will see if I can get my hands on a bottle. Fruity with nuts and lovely mix of spices and light wood. Everything is in almost perfect hermony. The empty glass gives you even more after an hour or so."

    "Guter Rum hier aus Australien. Schöne fruchtige Nase bestehend aus Orangen und Orangenschalen. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls leicht fruchtig. Kann hier Kirschen und Kirschenholz erkennen. Kann ĂŒberzeugen der Rum 👍"
