Beenleigh Distillery

Following distillation, our Beenleigh new-make cane spirit has already developed its unique, complex character. But it’s the final stage that makes all the difference. We take the cane spirit collected from the Stills and fill our historic wooden maturation vats that once held delicious Australian brandy. We leave the Spirit there for up to 2 years, to now be called and sold as Rum. In some cases, we age for 5, 10, even 15 years. Enough time for it to extract some of the mellow characteristics of the oak.

Our maturation process also consists of consists of using American Oak, ex-Bourbon casks, which contribute classic toffee, caramel, butterscotch flavour profiles to our maturing Rum stocks, perhaps for a decade or more.

This is what gives every bottle of finely crafted Beenleigh Rum its rich, luscious flavour and velvety-smooth finish.
