- Description
- Beenleigh, Australia's oldest registered distillery, produced this molasses-based pot still rum, initially aged six years in American oak before transfer to the UK for four additional years in ex-bourbon casks. The spirit balances tropical character with oak-derived sweetness, displaying vanilla, mint tea, flint and green banana skin on the palate. This cross-continental maturation creates a unique profile that bridges traditional Caribbean rum traditions with temperate-climate aging.
