The Beenleigh 2006 Fine Australian Triple Wood Maturation 15yo Rum is a remarkable limited release from the acclaimed Beenleigh distillery in Australia, meticulously bottled by the independent bottler Velier. This exceptional rum, boasting a robust 59% ABV, was crafted from molasses in 2006 using both Pot and Column Stills. Over the course of 15 years, it underwent a unique triple wood maturation process, imparting a remarkable depth and complexity to its character.
Initially aged in ex-brandy casks, the rum was subsequently transferred to American oak ex-bourbon barrels and finally to Kauri Pine barrels. This intricate process, conducted over 13 years—partly in Australian brandy vats—occurred in Queensland's tropical climate, resulting in a substantial 43% angel's share. The geographical conditions, with an average temperature of 27.3°C and humidity ranging from 59% to 75%, significantly influenced the rum's maturation.
The Beenleigh distillery, known for its dual capabilities of column and old copper Pot Still distillation, has achieved a noteworthy milestone with this release, one of their oldest vintages to date. Limited to just 1100 bottles, this rum is highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs alike. Aromas of cocoa, ginger, lemon, beeswax, nutmeg, and exotic fruits tantalize the nose, while the palate is treated to layers of rhubarb, heather, acacia, pear, vanilla, licorice, and cinnamon.
The Beenleigh 2006 rum is celebrated for its rich and complex profile. On the nose, it offers a bouquet of floral, leather, barrel, tropical fruit, and spice notes. The flavor unfolds in waves of leather, apricot, spice, dried fruit, and tropical nuances. This rum is a testament to the distillery's craftsmanship and innovative maturation techniques, making it a prestigious addition to any rum collection.
The unique triple wood maturation process, involving ex-brandy casks, American oak ex-bourbon barrels, and Kauri Pine barrels, sets this rum apart. Additionally, its maturation in Queensland's tropical climate and the use of both Pot and Column Stills contribute to its distinctive character.
