Aroma visualization from community tastings
CDI Secret Australia 2014
Opinion here lands around "interesting but not for me" — the sherry finish is the story, and whether that's a plus depends on you. Expect dry plum, leather, tobacco and a nutty nougat sweetness over a Beenleigh pot-and-column base. Several tasters felt the Fino cask buried the Australian distillate; a couple found it harmonious and very easy-drinking. Not too sweet, but sherry-led throughout.
The community says- Dry sherry character
- Leather and plum
- Finish dominates

How does CDI Secret Australia 2014 taste?
Aggregated from 13 community reviews.
Dry, sherry-finished sipper that hides its base Members mostly land at "fine, not a highlight" — the sherry finish takes over and the base distillate gets lost. One taster still found it harmonious and dangerously drinkable.

Review by Vinsdorf
Easy sipper for heavy rum drinkers, pleasure for beginners.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Entspannter & brutal süffiger Australier. Sherry Finish klar erkennbar, aber nicht zu dominant und sehr harmonisch. Kann man auf jeden Fall machen! 😁 Die typische Birne, Mirabelle & Ingwer note vom Australier ist da wird durchs Sherry Finish aber fast schon mit etwas Tabak, Leder aber auch Nuss Nougat Creme erweitert und ist dennoch an keiner Stelle zu süß!

Un rum pot still et colonne de chez Beenleigh très marqué par le Sherry Fino avec un nez très marqué sur la poudre et le pétard mouillé. Pas mon style mais très intéressant.
Review by Agricoler
Definitiv überhaupt kein Highlight.Alkohol sehr schlecht eingebunden und einfach nur Sherrytöne.Vm Rum selbst keine Spur von Australien.
Review by Johannes
Gut, aber mir zu viel Sherry-Einfluss!
