Tasting Notes
Appearance
Deep, warm amber — the rich, inviting colour of a rum matured for up to eight years in ex-brandy vats and ex-bourbon barrels, with the depth and complexity that only time, oak, and Australian sugarcane molasses can deliver.
Aroma
Unmistakeably Beenleigh — the generous warmth of Australian sugarcane molasses with rich buttery and spiced wood notes, layered with the complexity that ex-brandy vat and ex-bourbon barrel maturation adds across up to eight years in oak.
Palate
Complex and rounded, but never tame — rich buttery and spiced wood notes fill out a palate of genuine depth and character, underpinned by the warmth of Australian sugarcane molasses and the strength and energy that the Dragon demands. A fearless spirit.
A natural companion for dark chocolate, dried fruits, aged cheeses, and cigars — or savoured neat to allow the full complexity of buttery spiced wood, molasses warmth, and eight years of barrel maturation to reveal itself. Every bottle individually numbered. Every sip worth it.
