Flensburg Rum Company Platypus Edition 2025

Flensburg Rum Company Platypus Edition 2025 is a seven year old Australian rum blended on column and pot stills and matured in ex bourbon casks, bottled by Oldman Spirits in Germany at 43%. It is an approachable, everyday blend rather than a heavyweight release, an easy daily sipper that leans on light fruit and oak more than on intensity or sherry richness.

The nose offers dried fruit, floral and woody notes with a sweet edge, while the palate turns woody with caramel, dried fruit and a nutty character, finishing on dried fruit, leather and coconut over a bitter, oaky note. The body is soft and reads a little diluted at this strength, light fruited and gently woody rather than deep or powerful. It suits drinkers who enjoy easygoing, oak led rums and want something undemanding to pour regularly, without expecting big sherry character or cask strength impact. A relaxed, lightly fruity blend for casual sipping rather than serious study.
