Beenleigh Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 40 Australia 2007

Australia isn't where most people go looking for great rum, and this Beenleigh keeps surprising the people who try it. Yellow fruit, citrus marmalade, chocolate and marzipan up front, then toasted oak, spice and a genuinely unusual grappa/Obstler herbal streak several tasters couldn't stop mentioning. At 64.8% the alcohol reads mostly well-integrated, though a few found the heat too much without a drop of water.

Aggregated from 66 community reviews.

Fruity, spicy Beenleigh with an odd herbal twist Many call it their favorite Australian rum — fruity, spicy, chocolatey with a curious herbal grappa note. The catch: a couple of tasters find the high ABV pushy and reach for water.

Un très beau rhum australien. Le nez est d’une grande puissance et fait parler ses arômes fruités : agrumes (citron), marmelade de fruits jaunes et tropicaux, noix de coco et maracuja dégainent un profil haut en couleur (et en degré d’alcool aussi). On trouve par la suite pas mal d’épices, de notes sucrées (caramel, confit, massepain, viennoiseries), rôties, chocolatées et boisées, le tout relevé par une brise florale très délicate. Un profil complet et chaleureux. L’attaque en bouche est très intense et fruitée, avec notamment les agrumes (citron), la marmelade, les fruits jaunes et exotiques. Le côté boisé toasté et les notes rôties sur le café, les noix et le cacao donnent un côté sec et puissant qui réchauffe le palais. Quelques épices, pâtisseries et notes d’alcool (eau-de-vie) se faufilent dans un profil relativement complet et complaisant. L’alcool est bien intégré dans ce profil aromatique et maîtrisé. La finale est de longueur moyenne. Toutefois, on retrouve pas mal d’arômes très agréables comme la poire, la pomme, le citron, le caramel, le chêne toasté, les épices, le cacao, le moka et quelques notes herbacées. On distingue une forme de chaleur légèrement sucrée qui remontent en rétro-olfaction. Un profil complet, généreux et à sensations fortes garanties.

Etwas weniger fruchtig dafür würziger und im Finish auch etwas mehr in Richtung Kräuter und Tee. Der Rum braucht ein wenig wo sein Vorgänger zugänglicher war dafür ist der Alkohol hier hinten raus super eingebunden wo der Vorgänger sich hier doch deutlich bemerkbar gemacht hat. Im Direktvergleich bleibt Ed. 20 bei mir dennoch leicht vorne. Aber da Ed. 40 ein anderes Profil aufweist ist das auch Tagesform und Geschmackssache. Beide sind empfehlenswert.

#4510 07.12.2023 This is a wonderful and really well balanced rum once rested. The price tag is also really good. Fresh and fruity with a intense nose. The palate is oily and sweet with nice marzipan and citrus. The finish is very long and warm with dried fruit. Love the marzipan in the profile. Draws beautiful curtains in the glass. The empty glass has some caramel, vanilla and light chocolate.

The 2007 Beenleigh from RA, RC (Ed.20), TRC were actually all quite good, although I liked the RA best so far. The new RC (Ed.40) fits in very well. If I go through my notes, the new RC comes more after the RA and less after the Ed.20. On the nose yellow fruits, herbs and vegetables, hazelnut, caramel. Strong and spicy on the palate. The high ABV is well integrated.

War leider kein direkter Vergleich zur Ed.20 möglich, aber aus meiner Erinnerung sehr ähnlich. Bleiben für mich die beiden besten Australier. Schöne Fruchtnoten von Apfel und Zitrusfrüchten. Relativ viel Säure, die aber dazu passt. Subtile feine Vanillenote. Der Alkohol ist ok eingebunden. Hab den Vorgänger auch nochmal etwas höher bewertet.

Wundervoll fruchtige Nase, dabei etwas feuchte Eiche und Zitrus. Im Mund fand ich ihn erst sehr lecker, mit der Zeit wurde mir diese intensive Ähnlichkeit zu Grappa aber zu viel. Langer Abgang wo nach mehreren Minuten angenehme Kräuter und Tee einsetzen. Hat ein bisschen was vom Rum Nation Réunion.

Edit: Nachdem ich nun schon einige Australier im Glas hatte und meine Bewertung wieder mal durch gehe, war dieser doch bis jetzt der beste Australier den ich im Glas hat. Glaube aus der Erinnerung heraus ist das der beste Australier den ich im Glas hatte. Alkohol ist sehr gut integriert.

Aged rum

Style

Aged rum 

Avg Rating 8.0/10 over 16,000 Rums

Aged rum is where the spirit earns its complexity. In a tropical warehouse a barrel loses 6 to 10 percent of its contents to evaporation every year, which is why an 8-year Caribbean rum can taste deeper than a 20-year Scotch. This page gathers every rum on RumX that has spent real time in wood, with community ratings to separate the genuinely mature from the merely dark.
