8.1/10

Very tasty fruity and floral beenleigh, but the alcohol could be better integrated and the finish is a little too bitter and metallic.... Could be much more balanced and complex with a few more years of ageing.

8.3/10

Profil très différent de ce que je connaissais chez Beenleigh. Il faut laisser beaucoup de temps à ce rhum pour se révéler. Sans cela, l'alcool est trop présent. Si on prend le temps, on démarre sur un Foursquare boosté aux solvants au nez (édit : avec du recul, la Foursquare est quand même loin...) Puis on enchaine sur un profil plus pâtissier en bouche. L'alcool reste très présent. Normal vu le degré d'alcool. Mais on a tellement été habitué à des intégrations dingues avec Swell donc celui-ci détonne un peu. Ça reste très bon et très au-dessus des notes à 65 qui présentes sur ce rhum. Édit : gros besoin d'aération. Minimum 30-45 minutes. Après cela, on découvre un profil très sympathique. Ne pas hésiter également à le tester avec quelques gouttes d'eau pour le rendre plus accessible.

Un Beenleigh pas comme les autres. Le nez est très frais et floral pour un Beenleigh. Les fruits prennent ensuite le pas (pomme, pêche, poire) avec les épices (poivre, réglisse) et une touche médicinale assez marquée. Le cuir, le bois, le sucre brun et le caramel viennent contrebalancer le profil initialement perçu. Un profil olfactif plutôt déroutant. Le profil prend une autre tournure en bouche, avec d’abord des saveurs relativement classiques pour le profil australien : poire, pomme, raisin, épices (piment, poivre, réglisse) mais aussi des notes rôties, des noix et du cuir viennent se poser sur le palais. La deuxième partie de bouche est beaucoup plus intéressante avec une vague mentholée sur l’eucalyptus, des pêches gourmandes et du camphre qui donnent un faux air de TDL au profil. Très joli twist gustatif. L’alcool est bien intégré. La finale est longue et puissante, rallongeant le plaisir des notes fraîches et mentholées présentes en fin de bouche. Le côté fruité côtoie les notes plus chaudes, épicées et métalliques qui viennent conclure un profil changeant et surprenant. Swell réalise une belle opération avec ce Beenleigh qui sort des sentiers battus. Les rhums australiens n’étant pas à leur apogée et Swell étant connu pour ses embouteillages plus anciens, pas étonnant que ce dernier passe facilement sous les radars.

#4526 14.12.2023 This is a nice release and the price tag is really good in my mind. Medium fruity with a nice natural sweetness to it. The palate is well rounded and the ABV well integrated. The finish is long and warm with a nice minty touch.

How could a sunny easter day start better? I don't know :) Klasse Swell hier. Schöne Nase bestehend aus braunem Zucker und Sahnetoffe. Am Gaumen haben wir dann eine Art Tee, Minze und Leder sind aber auch herauszuschmecken.

8.2/10

The first nose and the first sip were probably a little premature. After a while, however, it developed for the better. Initially it was very unbalanced and alcoholic, but this subsides with time. I briefly had an association with a Foursquare, but then the mint and tea notes come to the fore. All in all, a Beenleigh that tastes good to me. The taste reminds me of the very minty T.D.Ls Rather unsuitable for me as a mixer.
