How does this rum taste?
Most enjoy its originality, floral fruits and cane notes; critics find it young, sharp, thin and a bit boring. Consensus: interesting Australian mixer and intro to Beenleigh, not a must‑buy sipper.
If you like lighter whiskies or agricole-style rums and want to see what Beenleigh can do at an easy 43%, this is a low-risk way to explore—mainly in mixed drinks.
Seasoned enthusiasts seeking deep complexity, long finishes, or completely unsweetened, clearly molasses-driven sippers; also not ideal for those sensitive to youthful sharpness.

Für nur 43% und nur 4y alt überraschend intensiv. Für knapp 30€ auch sehr fair. Toller Einstieg für Australien! Kirsche, Honig und Rosenwasser mit etwas Vanille. Definitiv ein toller bezahlbarer Rum, bei den man wenig falsch machen kann.
A rum that I find really original and quite complex. For the nose, make a first pass, then let it air to make a second pass which will let you pass other nuance. A rather fruity rum with a vegetable roundness that I like very much
Low proof and dosage keeps it somewhat frivolous, but otherwise a remarkable dram and impressive for its age and cost. Drinks above it's proof, which is bizarre given the dosage.
To be honest, I would have mistaken this for a Bourbon, if I hadn't known it's a rum. Probably the pot still and low cut points could be a reason for this. Judged on it's own, this is a rather boring spirit to me. The finish is a bit weak. Nose: is this rum? Blind, I'd have thought that it would be a bourbon. A bit of orange, flowers, clove, maybe a hint of vanilla. Later also peach on syrup. Taste: a bit of glue, but mainly white oak, clove, pepper, orange zest, peach, vanilla, dough. Finish: short and a bit weak, mainly lingering on the spice and orange.
