Beenleigh Flensburg Rum Company The Bottle Shop 2014
Opinions land all over the place here, and it comes down to the sherry. Most people taste heavy sweetness, dark fruit (plum, fig, cherry), smoke and old tobacco, with caramel and biscuit underneath. Several call it dangerously easy to drink; others feel the PX cask buried the Australian base. One member found it "total süß" — like pure date syrup. The 58.67% heat could be smoother too.
- Dark fruit depth
- Smoke and tobacco
- Easy-drinking sipper

How does Beenleigh Flensburg Rum Company The Bottle Shop 2014 taste?
Aggregated from 28 community reviews.
Sweet, smoky, sherry-soaked Aussie sipper Loved by sweet-and-smoky fans as a rich all-day sipper, but the dominant sherry finish divides people — some find it harmonious, others say it flattens the original rum.

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Sehr schöner "all day sipping" Rum 🥂 super floral, fruchtig und klar der Sherry ist sehr dominant aber eben auch sehr harmonisch und macht das ganze eben auch gefährlich süffig!🤤 nur der Alkohol könnte minimal besser integriert sein...

Sehr speziell, aber geil!
Review by Jakob
Extrem süffig, rund, süss, dazu etwas Rauch - das Sherry-Finish bringt nochmal richtig viel Spannung rein. Toller Australier!
Review by DomM
Nose is dominated by the sherry finish, showing dominat notes of red fruits anlongside floral notes. While interesting, this feels not 100% balanced to me and overall a touch to peppery. On the palate the finish again is very dominat. All in all this is very easy going and rather approchable. Still a little too much alcohol present here, but by no means overwhelming.

Pflaume überwiegt in meinen Augen
Review by SaibotZtar
Süß und schwer kommt er rüber... das Finish deutlich zu spüren.... dunkle Früchte viel Plaume und etwas Bitterkeit. Mein Persönlicher Gedanke >> ohne Finish warscheinlich besser
Review by Buddudharma
Finish passt aus meiner Sicht nicht wirklich zum Profil des Rums…
Review by mto75
Butterblume, Feige, Traube und Kekse an der Nase…das PX Sherry-Finish gefällt mir hier irgendwie nicht so gut, es unterdrückt die frischeren (Zitrus-)Fruchtnoten, wie sie beispielsweise beim Velier Beenleigh 2015 oder dem RumClub Ed 20 schön durchkommen. Am Gaumen Karamell und röstige Noten. Kein Komplexitätsmonster.
Review by Frank
Australien ok, aber Sherry schreckt mich erst mal ab. Das brauche ich einfach nicht mehr beim Rum. Egalisiert einfach den Grundstoff. Aber mal sehen… Nase: intensiv und kräftig. Zu Beginn ordentlich süßlich-rauchig mit viel alter, kalter Zigarre. Dahinter eine Fruchtmischung aus Kirsche, Brombeere und ganz leicht Papaya. Der Sherry-Ausbau übernimmt hier mächtig das Ruder. Geschwefelte Rosine komplettiert diesen Eindruck. Hinten kräftige malzig-karamellige Süße und Hefeteig. Trotz meiner Abneigung von Sherry, objektiv eine schöne Nase. 80 Gaumen: was ist das? Hat der Dosage? Oder war da noch ein ordentlicher Schluck Sherry drin im Fass? Total süß! Dattelsirup pur. Dazu rauchig und Sherry. Vielleicht noch Feige. Der Australia ist da kaum noch zu schmecken. Das ist mir zu plump. Habe ich aber auch irgendwie erwartet. 50 Gut trinkbar als Süßrum ist er allerdings schon…
Review by Jacques etdom
Nez très sympa, mais pour moi, totalement gâché par la bouche. A mon avis, trop de temps passé dans le fut de sherry. Une sucrosité qui colle à la bouche, tellement elle est présente. Dommage, pour moi la finition a tué le rhum d origine.
