Fine Australian Rum

I really love this, need to get myself a bottle.

Wässrig, alkoholisch, stechend in der Nase. Im Abgang erahnt man, das dieser Rum älter als seine beiden Partner sein muss. Aber geschmacklich kann ich kein eigenständiges Profil beschreiben.

Avevo sentito pareri contrastanti su questi rum australiani ed è la prima volta che ne assaggio uno! Un rum davvero intenso con una bellissima parte fruttata e floreale, le spezie accompagnano in maniera equilibrata tutta la degustazione! Legno integrato perfettamente e mi ha colpito il finale caldo e davvero lunghissimo! Ora sicuramente ne proverò altri!

1. Tasting: took only a short sip, but i am pleased by it so far. A bit of water seemed to change its character completely, this needs some more experimentation. 2. Tasting: it starts really pleasant, there is sweetness and fruit. However, I had a really strong sour off-putting aftertaste. The sour mouthfeel was really something breaking the experience, so I have to distract a point, despite the beginning being so good.

Though this one is good I had expected more from this one because of the longer aging. Unfortunately it is only a bit over par compared to the 2015. Still a good rum with nice spices and barrel topped off with fruit and coffee/tobacco and a hint of flowers. Again a rum that was sold out very fast.

Fruit notes are somewhat underrepresented. Extremely dry finish, like eating a spoonful of cinnamon. Little complexity.

very cool beenleigh, if not one of the best on the market. PLV for velier even really okay. Alcohol could be slightly better integrated, but it's a really cool & complex Australian, very floral & intense Williams pear note with lots of tannins. Update: today I taste and smell an incredible amount of grappa, calvados and aniseed licorice (sambuca & ouzo) notes. Wicked. Pear, apple, grape marc, aniseed, licorice. These are the core notes in my opinion.

Not my cup of tea direbbero gli inglesi. Un rum che non mi ha fatto impazzire. L’ho trovato abbastanza “duro” al palato. Buone le note fruttate ma per il resto è a mio parere troppo irruento. Un buon naso che poi non ritrovo al palato.

Beautiful Calvados and grappa associations. Very interesting!

Cross-Tasting der drei Abfüllungen von Velier (06, 13, 15) In der Nase ist diese Abfüllung sehr kraftvoll, es kommen reifere Fruchtaromen und deutliche Holznoten hervor. In der Farbe ist diese Abfüllung am dunkelsten. Der Alkohol scheint mir hier nicht sehr gut eingebunden. Im Geschmack dominieren tropische Früchte, Holz- und Gewürznoten und etwas Ester. Für mich an diesem Abend die schlechteste Abfüllung.

Un rhum aussi exotique que son origine. Le profil olfactif est complet avec beaucoup d’arômes divers : fruits tropicaux, secs, poire, pomme et agrumes (orange) donnent le côté fruité, tandis que le bois apporte une influence épicée (poivre, piment, vanille) ainsi qu’une teinte de cuir et de tabac. Le côté gourmand est assuré par le caramel, le massepain et le beurre, tandis que les notes médicinales sont représentées par la colle et un côté floral charmant. Un profil plutôt riche et élégant. L’attaque en bouche est progressive sur les épices (vanille, poivre, piment, reglisse, anis), le cuir le tabac et le chêne du fût. Il y a un côté frais, végétal et terreux qui est un peu étouffé dans la masse. Il en est de même pour les fruits, notamment les fruits secs et exotiques, l’abricot et la poire. Le profil est rond et agréable en bouche, assez voluptueux. L’alcool est bien intégré. La finale, légèrement moins fruitée, se concentre sur des notes florales et végétales, les épices (cannelle, piment) le cuir, le bois et une touche de caramel. Elle laisse un long souvenir plutôt parfumé et attirant. Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas les rhums australiens, ce Beenleigh devrait les mettre d’accord sur la qualité indéniable du terroir.

Zusammen mit DomM die drei Velier Beenleigh aus den guten kleinen Fläschchen probiert. Als ersten Eindruck für mich, nicht überall wo Velier drauf steht, ist nichts gutes drin. War schon die St.James Reihe ein Reinfall, schließt sich für mich die Beenleigh Reihe nahtlos an. Vielleicht verstehe ich dieses Profil einfach nicht, oder habe keinen Geschmack, aber mir waren alle zu alkoholisch und mit einem bitteren (nicht angenehmen) Nachgeschmack. Der 2006er war etwas besser, als die zwei anderen, aber auch nicht viel.

VSGB 🥰Nose: compared to the 2015 significantly less pear, more in the direction of lemon and green apple with a nice step towards tropical fruits, such as papaya. Also comes first a clear fruit vinegar note, then again the vanilla and slightly milk chocolate. Out the back again more pear.On the palate much fuller and rounder than his younger brother. Fruity and spicy at the same time. A bit more towards orange peel and papaya at first. Quite light, pleasantly bitter. Spicy with some vanilla and nutmeg. Goes even slightly towards hazelnut. In addition, there is something slightly herbal like saffron and black tea. In the back, the typical pear comes through here again.This one I find more compact and beautiful than the 2015. A really nice Beenleigh.

Falls somewhat short of Rum Club Australia.

In contrast to the 2015, much more elegant, riper, softer... the alcohol is perfectly integrated! Both bottlings have something... Personally, I prefer the slightly more angular 2015! They are on the same level for me! Both very good A second tasting today: I let it breathe longer this time and it brought out much more subtle flavors...it seems much more complex and elegant now! Great
