Hinweis: Tätigkeit bei Perola GmbH (Spirituosenbranche), teilweise berufliche Involvierung bei bewerteten Abfüllungen. Alle Bewertungen sind meine persönliche, unbezahlte Meinung. Der bis dato erste 2006er Beenleigh abgesehen vom Velier. Und diesem ist er verdammt ähnlich, nur mit mehr Zitrus und weniger Anis. Gigantische Nase nach ganz viel Zitronengras und Zitrusfrüchten (Kumquat, Limettenschale, Orangenschale) dazu frischer Eukalyptus, etwas Weihrauch und kandierter Ingwer mit Honig. Erinnert bisschen an Zitrus Sauna Aufguss im Positiven! 😅 Geschmacklich dann sehr dick, ölig und unfassbar frisch nach Zitronengras und Eukalyptus. Dann rote Traube. Leicht rauchig und floral. Weißer Tee mit Jasmin. Sehr komplex und schwer. Der Alkohol ist überraschend gut eingebunden (wenn man ihn im Glas lang genug atmen lässt)! Auch im Abgang kommt das frische Zitronengras wieder voll durch. Für mich eine meiner neuen top Beenleigh Referenzen und wahrscheinlich auf Augenhöhe mit dem RA Beenleigh 2007!

Kind of a weird rum for me. This Australian profile has always had its peculiarities, but this one is a bit more unique. I find it too alcoholic and a little too unbalanced. Unfortunately not one that really convinces me. The rest of the sample mixed with cola, but unfortunately no highlight there either

#5123 01.03.2025 tasting at Whiskymessen.dk 2025. Nose Light wood, faint roasted, light mint, spice, light ginger, light citrus, faint caramel. Palate Light wood, medium dry, faint smoke, light citrus, spice, faint anise, light mint, faint marzipan, faint nutts. Finish Very long, wood, light roasted, fruits, light citrus, ginger, spicy, medium dry, faint marzipan. Needs to rest for a while to really open up properly.

Beenleigh is not quite my profile ... so this one doesn't quite meet my taste either. But if you like the eucalyptus, lemon (-grass), ginger, honey, nut profile with some fruit, you will get your money's worth. The oily texture should perhaps be emphasized (probably also due to the long Australian storage and the crisp fullproof). Alcohol could be better integrated, but the finish is long-lasting. Clearly benefits from some ageing time

Ein weiterer toller Australier nach RC, RdL und RA. Dieser hier ist ebenfalls sehr gut und zeigt sich ähnlich dem von RA mehr auf der hellfruchtigen Aromenseite mit viel Zitrusfrucht und ganz besonders mit Aprikose und Pfirsich. Sehr lecker! kommt auf den Radar.

Lemongrass and memories of a sauna infusion. Cheese feet in your nose? 🤓 Alcohol quite present in the nose and on the palate - but it's also 67.6%. Eternal finish. A little too much power for my taste.

While I have admittedly my problems with the Beenleigh profile, first impression on the nose is quite nice on this one. There is the distinct Beeleigh note - for my this is Obstler-ish - but nicely integrated into wood and some herbal notes. The long time in the cask created a nicely matured nose overall. On the palate I find - as for most Beenleighs I tasted - the alcohol to be too present. This may get better over time, but right form the fresh sample it’s just not very pleasant. Profile again is nicely formed by the long maturation. As with other Beenleighs, also this one improves significantly with some oxidation in the open bottle. The rum is less sharp and reife fruits are much more prominent than from the freshly opened bottle. Would also give it c. +0.5 uplift versus the „fresh rating“. In both I see the Bellamy’s ahead of the 2006 Velier bottling. Less sharp, with more depth and complexity.

This is real dynamite. Citrus fruits on the nose and palate. The 67.6% also gives it a lot of oomph on the palate and a very long, beautiful finish. It lingers long after the sip. Really pleasant.

Expert review by Zucker und Zeste

"Komplex und intensiv mit viel Frucht, Kräutern und balsamischen Aromen. Eindeutig ein Beenleigh, aber dann doch irgendwie anders. Das hohe Alkoholniveau trübt leider ein wenig den Genuss für mich, weil er dann doch nicht ganz so gut eingebunden erscheint."
