Beenleigh 2013 Tropical Ageing 10-Year

Interesting. Not really what I was expecting. Notes of red wine and cognac on the finish. This rum makes me want to start exploring rums from Australia. Tropical climate, check. I'm not sure where the wine notes come from, that's probably a detractor for me, but otherwise pretty solid stuff. Didn't even realize this was 59% when I tried it.

Car oil or nail polish on the nose, rancid flavor with bourbon and wood notes, only a slight burn that lingers smooth for 59%abv

Biting technical (glue) start, tropical fruits, flowers in aroma; fruits, honey, clove, little biting and green apple in finish of the body; warming, spices and apples in tail.

this spirit is very good, while sipping, you don t feel it have 59% ABV, it s very smooth ...
ok it s strong yes but a very pleasant experience ...
aroma is the best in theis rum, banana and chewing gum notes ...
in the mouth, oak is predominant and some vanilla (ex bourbon barrels) and chocolate,
medium finish of white fruits (peach, apricot ...)
spent 99 euro for this bottle, i wanted that my first australian rum is a good one, my rating is 9.5 !
excellent when paired with a full body cigar ...
