Cave Guildive Australia Rum 2007
"Everything is in almost perfect harmony," one taster wrote, and that's the gist of this 12-year Beenleigh from Cave Guildive. The nose is all orange peel, mandarin and green grapes; the palate turns drier and grainy, with cherry, roasted nuts, vanilla and a rye-whisky edge. At 64% the alcohol sits surprisingly quiet. A few feel it goes a touch flat late.
- Heat well integrated
- Bright orange nose
- Complex and varied

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
wow! referenz Australien single cask für mich ab jetzt. Orangenschale und Orangenblüten, sowie grüne Trauben, Eukalyptus, Mandarine und weißer Tee an der nase. Geschmacklich extrem rund und mild und harmonisch. Rye Whisky Noten, sehr "Getreidig" trocken, an kirsche und Bratapfel Aromen erinnernd, dazu wieder diese gigantische Frische von Eukalyptus und Australische Finger limes/grapefruit und Mandarine, etwas Kakao, geröstete Mandeln, Mandel Makronen und im Abgang geht das ganze dann mehr Richtung Harz, Orangenblütenhonig und Traubengelee mit leichten Fass-Noten über. gigantisch gut! PS: Sven Wolters (Rum rarities)hat gesagt schmeckt nach links rausgedrehtem Koala Ohrenschmalz 😃

A very nice surprise from Australia and I will see if I can get my hands on a bottle. Fruity with nuts and lovely mix of spices and light wood. Everything is in almost perfect hermony. The empty glass gives you even more after an hour or so.
Review by Timo Groeger
Guter Rum hier aus Australien. Schöne fruchtige Nase bestehend aus Orangen und Orangenschalen. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls leicht fruchtig. Kann hier Kirschen und Kirschenholz erkennen. Kann überzeugen der Rum 👍
Review by Basti
Australier sind bei mir relativ selten im Glas und es wurde mal wieder Zeit :) An der Nase sehr viel Frucht, dazu Karamell, Holz und Vanille. Am Gaumen cremig, fruchtig mit einer leichten Süße und auch hier wieder die fruchtigen Noten im Vordergrund. Gefällt mir insgesamt sehr gut.
Review by Christian Rudt
Mal wieder ein interessanter Vertreter aus 2007. Geht ein wenig die Richtung des RA ist aber dann eher der nussigen röstigen Seite zugewandt und ja da kann man auch von geschmacklicher Nähe zu Barbados sprechen. Aber einer mit schöner fruchtiger Nase. Spannende Abfüllung!
Review by Johannes
Guter Australier, der vielleicht etwas flach daherkommt.
Review by Joël
Mir gefällt der sehr gut, die 64% sind erstaunlich gut eingebunden, würde ich nie so hoch tippen. Überhaupt nicht alkoholisch oder irgendwie "scharf". Mir fehlt etwas Tiefe im Geschmack, aber Preis-Leistung passt.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un Beenleigh qui renferme pas mal de surprises, Le nez est assez léger de prime abord mais cache bien son jeu avec pas mal d’arômes fruités : agrumes (zeste d’orange et mandarine), pêche, pomme et poire apportent beaucoup de fraîcheur au profil. À contrario, les épices (vanille, cannelle, réglisse, poivre, piment) forment avec le côté sucré du caramel, du nougat et du miel un mélange gourmand qui vient s’opposer au parfum floral et fruité précédemment évoqué. C’est un profil plutôt varié et intense qui s’ouvre avec le temps. L’attaque en bouche est puissante, marquée par une première vague fruitée sur la poire, la pomme, la pêche et le raisin. Viennent ensuite le boisé, les épices (vanille, poivre, piment, réglisse, muscade), puis une touche alcoolique qui part sur le whisky, mais plus sur le côté céréalier que tourbé. Le côté caramel et noisette grillée donne un peu de rondeur au profil. L’alcool est plutôt bien intégré. Le profil prend une tournure plutôt inattendue, pas désagréable mais pas aussi impressionnant qu’il ne laissait présager. La finale est longue, sèche et puissante, mais perd un peu en aromatique comparé au reste. On reste concentré sur des notes épicées et boisées, sur les noix, le cuir et l’amertume, perdant ainsi le côté fruité pourtant alléchant au nez (mis à part une touche de mandarine et de raisin). Malgré ce petit manque de « vie », il n’en reste pas moins une sélection de qualité qui a son charme et de la complexité.
