The Bottle Shop Beenleigh Australia Rum MAIC10 2007

Ripe pear and burnt sugar lead here, with eucalyptus, black tea and a resinous, medicinal-herbal edge that sets this apart from fruit-forward Beenleighs. At 72.1% the big surprise is how buttoned-down the alcohol feels — most tasters say they'd never guess the strength. Layered, spicy and long, with dried fruit and a touch of bitterness for structure.

The community says
  • Great integrated alcohol

The look inside the bottle

How does The Bottle Shop Beenleigh Australia Rum MAIC10 2007 taste?

Aggregated from 67 community reviews.

Powerful, complex pear-and-tea Beenleigh A widely-liked 17-year Beenleigh where the huge ABV drinks far softer than expected. Most love the pear-tea-eucalyptus complexity; one crosstasting found the alcohol less tamed than others.

Perfect for

Cask-strength fans who like fruity, herbal-spicy Beenleigh

Less suitable for

Wow! What a great bottling! At first glance, you think, oh dear, 72%... this thing is going to be really spicy. But surprisingly, it’s not. On the nose, it’s very fruity and floral, with lovely notes of eucalyptus, pear, sour cherry, thyme, and bergamot. On the palate, it shows its complexity, and the alcohol is so well integrated that it never becomes overwhelming. The finish is long and delicious. Hats off, Stefan!

# 23.10.2025 A nice relaxing day with Fabian in a summehouse in Blåvand 🇩🇰 The nose is very well balanced thinking about the ABV. Fruity with light marzipan and faint wood and very light mint. The palate is well balanced with natural sweetness. Fruity with very light wood and dried fruit. The finish is medium to long and sweet with nice fruits and light caramel and marzipan. ABV is perfectly Integrated. Price to quality is wery good in my mind.

Crosstasting 2007 Beenleigh mit RX10370 Duchess RX16467 Silver Seal RX14046 Nobilis RX24349 Bottleshop An der Nase sind anfangs alle recht verschlossen. Sie benötigen Zeit im Glas. Der Duchess und Nobilis entwickeln eine schöne fruchtige Birne-/Pfirsichnote. Der Bottleshop geselkt sich später mit gleicher, aber zurückhaltender Note dazu. Der Silverseal bleibt bis zum Schluss recht verschlossen. Am Gaumen setzt der Duchess dieses Aromenspiel fort, gepaart mit etwas Holz und Würze. Sehr gut. Der SilverSeal kommt da deutlich kräftiger und würziger daher. Anfangs ist auch hier deutlich die Frucht erkennbar. Der Nobilis ist hier der Fruchtigste. Er ähnelt stark dem Duchess. Was alle drei aber eint, ist der recht gut eingebunden Alkohol. Der Bottleshop ist anfangs fruchtig, aber dann beißt der Alkohol schon recht kräftig zu. Er lässt nur kleinste Schlücke zu. Holz und Würze sind ebenfalls sehr präsent. Im Abgang ist der Duchess und Nobilis relativ kurz. Der SilverSeal ist da ausgeprägter und liegt mehr auf der holzig würzigen Seite. Ebenso der Bottleshop. Für mich liegt der Duchess/Nobilis leicht vorne, dicht gefolgt vom Silver Seal. Der Bottleshop fällt aufgrund des schlecht eingebundenen Alkohols leider ab

Vorglühen vor dem gleich beginnenden kleinen Nordlichter-Tasting. 😉 Ja, ich weiß, zu früh und zu hoher Alkoholgehalt für den Start. 🤭 Aber geil! (Auch farblich) wie eine medizinische Wurzelessenz aus dem tiefsten australischen Busch. Mal sehen, was die anderen Nordlichter gleich dazu sagen. Mir gefällt er jedenfalls.

Ein wahnsinnig komplexer und außergewöhnlicher intensiver "vermutlich" Beenleigh! Geile Abfüllung! Birne, Sauerkirsche, Mirabelle und gelbes Steinobst trifft auf süß würziges Bourbon Fass, sowie Eukalyptus, Kumquat Marmelade und mildem weißem Jasmin Tee, dazu Kakao, Karamellbonbons und Weihrauch. Der Alkohol ist unfassbar gut integriert und der Preis wirklich mehr als fair. Chapeau Stefan, ich dachte mit 2007er Beenleighs hätte ich langsam alles erlebt aber mit diesem bisher höchsten Alkoholgehalt und dieser Komplexität wurde wohl ein neuer Benchmark erreicht! 😄❣️

8,5:On the nose, strong barrel impact with bourbon and toasted oak notes like butterscotch, bacon, spicy with ginger, vanilla, fruits with coconut, pear, yellow fruits, fresh, herbaceous and flowery molasses, bump into our nosetrils, quite intense. On aeration, citrus fruits join other fruits in marmelade, more roastedness brings chocolate, burnt sugar, the molasses is vegetal with tea, eucalyptus. 8,4:On the palate, the attack is buttery with toasted oak, bourbon barrel mark, with butterscotch, burnt sugar, fudge, nuts, spicy with vanilla and ginger, fruits like coconut, marmelade like with mirabelle plum, citrus fruits, cherries and pears, as the molasses is candied, fresh with tea, eucalyptus, dark with licorice...Alcohol integration is very good... 8,4:The finish is medium long, dry, slightly tannic, with toasted oak notes, yellow&green fruits and fresh, mineral molasses.

Bemerkenswerte Fassauswahl durch den Bottle-Shop in Heidelberg. Wunderbar komplex, tolle Fassnoten und Anklänge von Birne, Kirsche und Tee. Eine tolle Abfüllung zu einem sensationellen Preis. Hier hat ein Sample definitiv nicht gereicht

2007 ist für Beenleigh anscheinend ein toller Jahrgang gewesen. Auch bei dieser Abfüllung gibt es wieder eine ordentliche Portion gelber Früchte, insbesondere Quitten und Birnen, diesmal allerdings angereichert mit einer sehr spannenden, ätherisch-harzigen Komponente. Dass dieser Rum über 72% Alkoholanteil hat, kann ich bei dem cremigen und angenehmen Mundgefühl kaum glauben. Sehr gut!

Expert review by Zucker und Zeste

Great barrel selection! Tops the Beenleigh bottlings from this vintage. Powerful, intense, highly aromatic. Alcohol is very well integrated. Price is more than fair. Amazing that it is still available.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut

Actually I think this is a great Beenleigh. I don't get any inner circle oddity. This has for me the typical bourbon cask and green apple of a good beenleigh. It seems that age does work well with these

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.
