Beenleigh XO Single Blended Rum

Beenleigh XO is a single blended rum from the Beenleigh distillery in Queensland, a producer with one of the longest continuous histories in Australian rum making. Single blended here means a marriage of pot and column distillate from the one site, a format that aims for body without losing approachability.

Distilled from molasses and matured for eight years in ex-bourbon casks, it sits in the territory that ageing in oak of this kind typically delivers: vanilla, toffee, soft baking spice and a gentle dried-fruit edge. At 42% it stays rounded and easygoing, a sipper that should reward neat pours while keeping enough structure to hold its own.
