Beenleigh RA Rum Inner Circle MAIC10 2007

This Beenleigh Inner Circle MAIC10 2007 is a Rum Artesanal bottling, the German house working in the unsweetened full proof single cask tradition, drawing a 2007 cask from Beenleigh aged twelve years. It is a pot still molasses rum in a dry, characterful register, fruity and metallic on the nose with woody, citrus notes.

Bottled cask strength at 50.4% and unsweetened, it delivers green apple, pear and citrus alongside honey and chocolate, with a moderate ester lift and a dry, roasted, chocolatey finish over warming wood spice. The strength gives it reach without harshness, and the Beenleigh house fruit sits at its core. It is a step drier and more characterful than easygoing rums without reaching full high ester intensity, rewarding drinkers who enjoy lightly funky Australians or gentler Jamaican profiles. As a distinctive, fairly priced cask strength sipper it makes a strong case.
