Beenleigh 10 Y.O. 2013 Tropical Ageing

Beenleigh 2013: a true Australian spirit, as it has been since 1884

The 2013 Beenleigh rum arrives after two other interesting releases - the 2006 15 Y.O. and the 2015 5 Y.O. Desert Maturation - and confirms the great care and extreme quality always sought after by this distillery, the oldest in Australia, now active since 1884.

Attention to every aspect of ageing is also reiterated by Distillery Manager Chris Kim: "At Beenleigh, one could almost say that ageing is subtropical, as temperatures vary from a low of 5°C in winter to a high of around 36°C in summer.

We have access to freshly drained bourbon barrels from the United States, which every other distillery in the world would love to get their hands on. Thanks to the combination of higher-loss ex-bourbon casks and humid summers, we have annual losses of 6% - which makes the rum taste even better.
