Beenleigh Inner Circle Overproof Traditional Pot Still Rum
Ripe mirabelle and apricot lead the nose, with ginger, nutmeg and green apple close behind — then a spicy, herbal, almost gin-like turn on the palate. This Australian pot-still overproof is fresh and fruity but the 57.2% alcohol is loud, and a few tasters find it dry, vegetal, and closer to a Scotch than a rum. Distinctive rather than easy.
The community says- Bright stone-fruit nose
- Spicy and distinctive
- Alcohol dominates

JoA with the drop you can not go wrong. Already complex fruity. All in all a successful drop

Interesting, my first rum from Australia. Unfortunately, not really my thing. Very dry and tastes very herbal, strongly in the direction of a Scotch whisky. So certainly interesting for people with the right taste
Review by Johannes
Too many herbal notes for me, somewhat gin-like.
Review by Niko
l'alcool malheureusement un peu trop présent au nez comme en bouche mais après un peu de repos les notes fruitées et épicées sont intéressantes. 🙂🙂
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
wow, what an incredibly fruity nose! fresh, fully ripe mirabelle plum and apricot pure, as well as rose petal water, plus a little ginger and nutmeg, subtle pear and ester. The taste is again mirabelle plum and apricot, but also spicy with star anise, nutmeg, vanilla pulp and spicy ginger. Long finish of wood, leather, black tea, as well as rose, ginger and pear. very nice, that's how I imagine it! more of this please!
Review by Frank
In der Nase kommt er zunächst sehr frisch daher. Frische von Alkohol und von Zitrusfrüchten. Da ist aber auch etwas gedecktes, seifiges dahinter. Die Frische wird unterstrichen von grünem Apfel und saftiger Birne. Hinten raus ist eine leicht Karamell-Note zu vernehmen. Am Gaumen doch recht würzig. Trotzdem hat er eine bittere frische, wie von Limettenschale. Muskat, Vanille und Lakritz sind dabei. Oh, und es kommt etwas metallisches, leicht seifiges mit Melisse, wie in der Nase. Insgesamt nicht ganz mein Geschmack, aber auch nicht schlecht.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Spannend und anders, würzig und holzig. In der Nase auch pflanzlich-floral und eine ungewohnte Fruchtigkeit. Der Alkohol ist sehr präsent, gleichzeitig nimmt der Rum auch den ganzen Mundraum ein. Nicht schlecht, aber auch kein Highlight. Trotz allem aber eine weitere spannende Ecke des Rums, die die unglaubliche Breite deutlich macht.

Je suis sans doute un peu sévère. Nez très sympa et fruité mais trop pimenté en bouche à mon goût

Review by DJ Wolfson
A great smell of honey, vanilla, wood, and flowers. But it packs an insanely spicy and alcoholic punch.
