     The intense pear and apple notes are reminiscent of Calvados. The alcohol is not ideally integrated at first - but after 30 minutes of breathing, a beautiful, fruity rum develops that is really fun.

     The youngest of the 3 Veliers. And really, really not a good rum. Neutral alcohol with a watery, dull bitter note. Maybe it's the desert storage or me, but I can't find anything here that would make me want to drink this rum again.

     Gigantic nose of glue, pear, jasmine tea, lots of citrus fruits and almond cookies! Much more floral & dry on the palate like the Finespirits beenleigh 2015, but still nice notes of almond cookies and tangerine peel, Williams pear, some glue & honey but also more wood. I like it but it's not as drinkable and easy sipping. But still incredibly complex and exciting. Probably the best young Australian to date. #needmorebeenleigh 🪃🇦🇺🐨🦘🌏

     Tasted the three Velier Beenleigh from the good little bottles together with DomM. My first impression was that not everything that says Velier on it is good. If the St. James range was already a flop, the Beenleigh range follows on seamlessly for me. Maybe I just don't understand this profile or have no taste, but they were all too alcoholic for me and had a bitter (not pleasant) aftertaste. The 2006 was slightly better than the other two, but not by much.
