The Rum Explorer Australia is a limited edition rum that offers unique recognition as a bridge between the Australian and European continents. Distilled by Beenleigh Artisan Distillers, this rum is a testament to the rich history and dedication of English expatriates who, in the mid-19th century, purchased land near the Albert River with the intention of planting cotton. However, they found sugarcane plantations to be more lucrative and eventually established a rum distillery on the premises, which they named Beenleigh after their hometown in Devonshire.
This particular expression of Rum Explorer is aged and bottled in Normandy, France, at the Chateau du Breuil. It is a five-year-old rum that has been aged in American oak casks that were previously used for cognac. This finishing process has imparted intriguing traces in the rum, characterized by its golden-amber color.
The rum offers a powerful and complex aroma and taste, with notes of wood, vanilla, and a floral undertone of iris. It also boasts flavors of licorice, honey, cocoa, and cinnamon, with a long finish that features silky-soft tannins. The rum is best enjoyed neat, as it has much to offer. Bottled by the independent bottler Chateau du Breuil in France, the Rum Explorer Australia is a rare and unique find, offering vast potential that is sure to delight rum connoisseurs looking for something new and exciting.
