Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Just finished a nice evening going through some of the samples we got from 1423. Loved the smoky finish on this bottle.
Review by Tom Buteneers
Takes some time to develop, from chemical to more fruity and floral.Taste reminiscent of whiskey and less of rum. Not particularly refined, alcohol is too overpowering for me.I would not buy a bottle of it.
Review by Emil G.S. Munk
Very nice complex rum with a lot of personality without being crazy or gimmicky. Just pure class. Some floral tinge to the nose and palate and lots of fruit without going tropical. A dark chocolaty late palate and slight smoky aftertaste. ABV in the upper range of what is comfortably.
Review by Johannes
Somewhat flat, one-dimensional, finish rather short
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Beenleigh has been a bit hit or miss. They make a fine spirit, but they can't compete with most other craft distilleries in terms of complexity and depth. This one is bold in smell but lacks in taste. It's alcoholic but also a biy thin in someways. Definitely not the best I had. I'm gonna give this a retry in a few days. Better second try. More floral. Acidic. Even some funk/pineapple. Better!
Review by Kieron Wood
This is a first expression of a aged Australian rum form a decent producer. Notice the word decent producer as I hate bunderberg, Josh at 1423 is an amazing man ... Now onto the rum Grassy notes of ripe figs and nail polish . Add a drop of water to taste that harshness away and open it up ... .
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
To the nose it is frankly atypical, one dives into it and dives back to deconstruct it so much it is surprising. It is a mixture of fresh fruits (Granny Smith, lemon, tangerine ...), a bouquet of flowers and the sample library of a chemistry laboratory (nail polish and synthesis of drugs). It is very interesting and we can't wait to taste it. The attack in mouth is fruity but rather disappointing because not enough aromatic for my taste. We find caramel, marmalade and spices. The finish is more present and vigorous on dark chocolate and burnt-smoked wood.
Review by Frank
2nd day Christmas calendar, blind!Was not easy, could have been Belize, but then reminded me of the Australians.Nose: fresh, but also alcoholic. In the fruit somewhat restrained towards tangerine, grape, raspberry. Slightly spicy with vanilla. Out the back a bit woody and smoky. There is still something floral, green apple and some chocolate over.Palate: spicy, reminds me of pomace. A bit fruity, anise and vanilla. Towards toffee and caramel. A slight citrus note, slightly bitter and some chocolate. If fruit, then maybe date.Quite ok.
Review by tpwar
More pleasant in the nose than in the mouth. The alcohol is present all the length and the final is acrid
