Beenleigh Flensburg Rum Company Quokka Edition (Australian Small Batch Rum)

"Nice depth and fruitiness to it," one member sums up — and that's the honest read. This 7-year Beenleigh leans hard into its sherry casks: raisin, fig, dried fruit and a sweetness that surprises people by being less than expected. There's a glue/acetone note and roasty wood too. A few say the sherry buries the usual Australian profile; herbal, minty edges show up on the finish.

The community says
  • Rich sherry fruit
  • Well-integrated alcohol

How does Beenleigh Flensburg Rum Company Quokka Edition (Australian Small Batch Rum) taste?

Aggregated from 60 community reviews.

Sherry-soaked Australian, raisin and herbs Most enjoy it as a fruity, sherry-forward sipper with raisin and herbal notes. The catch: heavy sherry masks the Beenleigh character, and a couple find the acetone and short finish limiting.

Perfect for

Fans of sherry-cask spirits and dried-fruit profiles

Less suitable for

Finde dies ist ein toller Beenleigh. Er ist fruchtig und floral in der Nase, Holz ist auch erkennbar. Am Gaumen haben wir dann dunkle Schokolade. Außerdem sehr röstig dieser Rum, und im Abgang kann ich auch etwas Minze erkennen.

Der Quakka auf dem etikett ist ganz niedlich obwohl die flasche sehr schlicht daher kommt Geschmacklich finde ich diesen rum sehr weit weg von dem was hinten drauf steht werder PX noch oloroso Sherry hab ich wirklich in der Nase oder im mund Es ist ein mix ais gewürzkräutern und holz aber keine fruchtigen nussigen Noten wie man es eigentlich gewohnt ist bei Sherry Nicht wirklich meins .

Australia Artur Advent Calendar 2025 (6.2) Anders, als der 6.1 aus dem Kalender belegt dieser hier den Gaumen mit dunklen Früchten und wunderbaren holzigen Aromen. Auch wesentlich mehr abv, wobei der Alkohol hier viel besser integriert ist, wenn auch nicht perfekt. 60% abv tipp: 12 Jahre

Guter Einsteigerrum! Für den niedrigen Alkoholgehalt bietet er eine gewisse Komplexität. Sherry ist vorhanden, aber nicht überbordend.

Hier gibt es viel Sherry auf die Geschmacksknospen gekleistert. Für mich nicht immer als Rum zu erkennen. Da gibt es exotische Whiskys aus z.B. Indien oder Skandinavien, die ähnliche Profile abliefern. Lässt sich wirklich gut trinken und hat keine Fehlnoten, ist aber mit einem knapp geschnittenen Abgang versehen und auf Dauer fast ein wenig zu klebrig-süß, was mit den Kräuternoten von Salbei, Spitzwegerich und Minze bisweilen an ein malziges Karamellkräuterbonbon erinnert.

I was actually really looking forward to this bottling as an easy sipping Australian.... But the sherry finish and the overall very short maturation time are unfortunately rather disappointing. Wood, incense, toasty wood and lots of dried fruit and pear/raisin from the clearly too dominant sherry finish. Could also be much rounder.... I had hoped for more.

Australia Advent Calendar 2025 (6.2). Un nez moins doux, plus végétal fermenté que le RX23458, j’y sens l’inflence des fûts de Sherry. Des fruits secs et des raisins secs et un léger acétone viennent compléter le profil. La bouche est douce, aromatique avec des raisins secs et des fruits jaunes, du végétal fermenté et du fût de Sherry. Les arômes sont un peu masqués par le léger acétone du nez qui se confirme ici. La finale est sur la même ligne, moyennement longue avec une douceur plus marquée.

The sherry finish definitely arrives on both the nose and the palate. However, it suits the Beenleigh very well, even if it pushes the usual flavors of the distillery into the background or takes them away completely

Aged rum 

Avg Rating 8.0/10 over 16,000 Rums

Aged rum is where the spirit earns its complexity. In a tropical warehouse a barrel loses 6 to 10 percent of its contents to evaporation every year, which is why an 8-year Caribbean rum can taste deeper than a 20-year Scotch. This page gathers every rum on RumX that has spent real time in wood, with community ratings to separate the genuinely mature from the merely dark.
