The L'Esprit 2014 Australia Single Cask 78.3% 700ml is a unique and intriguing cask strength rum from the Beenleigh distillery in Australia, hand-selected and bottled by Whisky & Rhum. This rum was distilled in 2014 and aged for 6 years, resulting in an impressive ABV of 78.3%. The aroma presents a mix of butterscotch, vanilla, coconut, toffee, and strawberry, while the flavor profile includes vanilla, strawberry, coconut, leather, and cherry.
Upon tasting, this rum is very powerful and takes hold of the palate immediately with a biting, firm, but not burning woodiness. Fruity notes soon follow, with a funky, full-bodied side that is both sweet and tangy. Red and black fruits are present, with their sweet flesh, tannic skin, and acidic seeds. With a little air, vanilla woodiness tries to make an appearance, but is overtaken by love apples, candy cane, and a lingering fruity and tangy atmosphere.
This rum is a new find from a bottler/cellarman based in Rennes and Vannes, who has obtained barrels from the Australian distillery Beenleigh, the oldest in the country still in operation. Beenleigh produces molasses rums, which it distills in columns and/or in pot-stills, and ages in old bourbon casks.
This limited edition release is restricted to 282 bottles and is sure to please rum enthusiasts with its unique and intriguing character, surprising fruity nose, and well-integrated alcohol level. However, some users have noted the presence of some artificial impressions and a somewhat unbalanced palate. Despite some mixed opinions, L'Esprit has been regarded as a largely enjoyable and intriguing rum to explore.
Additional notes include a vegetal and herbaceous development, with zesty lemon, yellow and green, almond, honey, and molasses on the nose. The palate is dry, spicy, citrusy, woody, and exotic, with green banana, raw cocoa, oak, ginger, cumin, and white pepper. The finish is long, finely wooded, and spicy.
