Château du Breuil Beenleigh Rum Explorer

Chateau du Breuil Beenleigh Rum Explorer is a 5 year Australian rum drawn from Beenleigh, one of the oldest registered distilleries in the southern hemisphere, and bottled under the French house's Rum Explorer banner at 43%. It punches above its age and price, a young rum that trades complexity for a clear, characterful personality.

Matured in ex-bourbon oak, it shows an unusual floral and peppery signature alongside honey, soft wood and a hint of pear. The nose can read sweet, almost candied, but the palate pulls drier, with black pepper, violet and a clean, slightly austere finish that keeps it honest. For around the price of an entry bottle it offers genuine flavour and a distinctive Australian voice, ideal for anyone curious to explore origins beyond the usual Caribbean names.
