Beenleigh Dead Reckoning Rum Australia 2014
"Good but not great" is where most tasters land, and they mean it kindly. This Beenleigh pours dry and warm at 55% — wood, raisin and black pepper up front, with pear and a light herbal note behind. One member caught anise and bourbon, another marzipan on the empty glass. The spice runs a touch one-dimensional, but the quality is real.

How does Beenleigh Dead Reckoning Rum Australia 2014 taste?
Aggregated from 15 community reviews.
Dry, spicy Aussie oak-and-raisin sipper Well-made and enjoyable, but several tasters call it one-dimensional around wood and spice. A rum many were happy to try as a sample rather than commit to a full bottle.

#4270 28.09.2023 One of the samples from the Whisky N Rum Show in Copenhagen. This is an pretty nice rum and I'd say the price matches what you get. The nose is very subtle and fruity with light caramel. The palate is oily and warm with fruit and caramel. There is also a light herbal note. The finish is medium to long with light wood, raisin and marzipan. The curtains are beautiful, thin and very slow! The empty glass has a light nutty note as well as some mint.
Review by Jack M
Quite a hot and spicy rum. Mostly one dimensional flavours around wood, raisins and spice (black pepper, cumin). I’m glad I had a sample rather than buying a bottle, but it is nice enough and good quality.
Review by Henry Davies
An interesting nose, wood, barrel influence and citrus. Dry and balanced mouth, some caramel with wood and raisin. The finish is when the classic Beenleigh notes come through, nearly saves the rum but it is on the short side with ecalyptus, raisin and some fruit. Good but not great, the spice a little bit one dimensional
