Whisky & Rhum Beenleigh L'Esprit Australia Single Cask 2013

Cappuccino, dark chocolate and baking spice, with cherry and mango turning up once it rests. This Beenleigh single cask is bottled at a monstrous 78.1%, and everyone feels it — the alcohol attacks hard on both nose and palate. What surprises people is how drinkable it still is. Give it plenty of air. A couple of tasters wished for a touch more complexity.

The community says
  • Well-integrated high ABV

Australian Rums Tasting, Rum Club Switzerland. A rather fine nose (despite the ABV) with dried fruit, prunes, cedar wood and good acidity. Ouch! On the palate, it's a real blast. Strong alcohol attack. But the dried fruit is not far away and the wood is very well integrated. The finish is rather short, on bitter wood and vanilla. Not a rum for everyone, but not uninteresting either.

#6567 28.03.2026 - Part 4 The first online tasting of 2026 of the group we had in Shanghai. Funny that we are now living in different parts of the world again. Singapore, Sweden, UK, Denmark and Thailand 😊 Thank you for the samples Petter. This is a very good rum when looking at the price tag. This one needs to rest for a while to really open up properly. The nose is intense and fruity with nice berries, peach, spice, light caramel and chocolate. The palate is intense and fruity with cherry, mango, chocolate, light salt andnaturally sweet. The finish is very long and warm with fruits, mango, apricot, vanilla and chocolate.
