Puppa Rhums Beenleigh Cuvée Walrus 2016

Blind, most tasters guess a much older rum than four years — that's the surprise here. The nose leans sweet: caramel, honey, marzipan, molasses, almost hard to believe it's a Beenleigh over 60%. The palate flips drier, all red fruit, black pepper and clove, with real heat on the attack. Give it a few minutes' air and the fruit opens up.

How does Puppa Rhums Beenleigh Cuvée Walrus 2016 taste?

Summarized by AI from 14 community reviews.

Sweet-nosed, peppery cask-strength Aussie Punchy, rounded and older-tasting than its age — most rate it well, but a couple find the alcohol runs hot and needs a rest. One for trained palates.

Very good rum, not molasses, nicely fruity, with a touch of vanilla and caramel. It needs a little aeration to fully enjoy its potential. Beautiful length, nice balance, the finish adds a little extra. I like it a lot

7.8/10

On the nose, it's very sweet, with a hint of caramel. There's marzipan, honey, molasses... sugar in itself! It's very round, too round for my taste. But for those who like this type of profile, it's pretty impressive. It's hard to imagine that we're sniffing a BDF at over 60%! The attack is warm and peppery, and there's no doubt that the 62.4 watts are present, without detracting from the homogeneity of the whole ... for hardened palates. On the palate, more red fruit, wood and, above all, spices (pepper, cloves).

Aged rum

Style

Aged rum 

Avg Rating 8.0/10 over 15,000 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.
