Guillaume de Roany is passionate about rum and sailing. Here he offers us a rum from the Beenleigh distillery (Australia) which has undergone 3 stages of aging:
- 3 years in Bourbon barrels on site in Australia
- 14 months additional aging in Beaumes de Venise Muscat barrels
- a final ageing in small 50-liter Pedro Ximenez sherry casks during a round trip between France and the Caribbean.
Nico's tasting notes
The nose opens with a woodiness tinged with sweet spices, which quickly darkens to give us a roasted profile. From this almost mineral aspect comes a slightly metallic, coppery sensation, which in turn runs off into pits, more particularly cherry.
Aeration reveals more of the barrel, with vanilla accents of American oak. A little coconut milk concentrate coats the yellow fruit, before the red fruit tannins return to provide a sharper edge.
The palate is very coating and flavorful, with concentrated rum that takes over the entire palate in a fraction of a second. A certain sweetness is felt, accompanied by the thickness of greedy American oak. Red fruit and apricot jam then take hold on the mid-palate, with a hint of stone.
The finish returns to a toasty woodiness, which finally gives us an extra touch of vanilla.
"A very nice presence on the palate, for this fruity rum full of chewiness..."
