TCRL Beenleigh Australia #35 2015
Sip this one neat — it's built for a tasting glass, not cola. Expect pepper and clove up front, then yellow fruit (mirabelle, pear, apricot), vanilla and young oak, with a faint gluey, petrol edge that marks it as Beenleigh. Several tasters call it a "great sipping rum," a bit young and rough-edged, but genuinely interesting in its own quirky way.

How does TCRL Beenleigh Australia #35 2015 taste?
Aggregated from 83 community reviews.
Young, spicy pot-still sipper with fruit and oak Well-liked as an unusual, spice-forward Beenleigh at honest strength. The recurring catch: the palate can read thin and watery, less exciting than the lively nose promises.

Review by Daniel
White by intensity, sweetness and elegance on the nose to capture the attention of the aficionado. Both thumbs up👍🏻 👍🏻 After initial fruit sweetness, grain gains the upper hand. Reminiscent of whiskey now. Then it gets spicier.Alcohol is great presence all the time and warms with irrepressible staying power, really unusual for 48%.Recommended purchase, although there is a slight drop in performance on the palate. Top rum.
Review by Dave
Super weird. But delicious in its own weird way.
Review by Montana
The smell is slightly sweet, with adhesive parts and wood, quite heavy and slightly dirty, very aromatic.The taste is spicy, oily, slightly fruity and woody, also somewhat alcoholic. A whole own delicious rum from Down Under.
Review by Ian Gilman
My mouth and brain are a little fried after tasting 4 rums before this, but it delicious. Having some trouble pulling out what’s unique about this, but it is different and will definitely try again when given a chance.

Finish Medium to long, wood, fruits, light apple, spice, light chocolate, faint salt. The empty glass has stronger Apple, light mint, light anise and light rubber.
Review by Frank
A fresh floral-fruity scent pours into the nose. Currant and cherry, also something exotic tropical. And a slight almond note. Pleasantly sweet, slightly fruity. But by no means as fruity fresh as the nose. It goes ehr in the direction of spicy, caramelized, woody. The rum still gets a nice chamomile-black tea note.Pleases me well.
Review by w00tAN
Wow, what a great rum. An exciting floral note on the nose that later becomes herbaceous and minty in the mouth. Generally very and exciting with many facets and the 48 revolutions are a perfect match. Delicious!
Review by Michal S
Ok rum, nothing special, a little fruit with wood and pepper.
Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
Good rum, but I don't think I would buy it. Still, it remains a simple and satisfying rum.
Review by Vincent D
A rather well-behaved rum with a nose driven by gourmand notes: vanilla and caramel at the top. A nice woody note too. A hint of fruit. On the palate, it's initially very spicy. The rum is oily. More fruit, notably pear, returns to the nose. The finish is woody and slightly bitter, citrus-like. Nice but not crazy. Great value for money nonetheless.
Review by Rare Akuma
Interesting profile for Beenleigh. On the nose you get the usual apples and tea, this time with some pineapple and coconut gratings. It’s quite woody and lightly dirty, leaning towards petrol. Lovely scent. The taste is less eventful than the nose would suggest. It’s lightly spiced, but apples, pears and chamomile tea overwhelm the wood and petrol, and it turns quite flat as a result. Excellent entry-level sipper and you get good value for your money.
Review by BTB77
Had mixed feedback after offering it to some friends. It is quite spicy which is not for everyone but i think the peppery notes are well balanced with some fruit and caramel for the young age. Regarding the very low price it‘s a good buy.
Review by Eric Frechin
Rhum convivial, un peu de complexité attaque sur des épices ( poivre , macis , clous de girofle) et évolution sur de la douceur( caramel et fruits jaune) l ensemble est un peu gras beurré. Finale courte-moyenne et douceur d un leger boisé caramel
