Holmes Cay Beenleigh Australia 2012 10 Year Single Cask Rum

This Holmes Cay single cask comes from Beenleigh Artisan Distillery in Queensland, Australia's oldest registered distillery. Holmes Cay is the American independent bottler that releases single casks and single-origin blends from distilleries around the rum world, bottled at full strength. The rum inside was distilled in 2012 from molasses, entirely in a pot still, then spent six years maturing in American oak in Australia's subtropical Queensland climate before the cask was shipped to the UK for four more years in an ex-bourbon cask. That split, tropical aging first and slower European aging second, put ten years on the spirit, and it was bottled in 2022 at cask strength, 61% ABV (122 proof), from a single cask, so the run is small and won't be repeated. Holmes Cay itself points to a distinctly whiskey-friendly set of flavors, and the published notes back that up: vanilla, mint tea, flint and green banana skins on the palate, with cinnamon in the mix. Holmes Cay credits this edition with establishing Beenleigh's reputation as a leading Australian artisan rum distiller. At 61%, add water a few drops at a time to open up the mint and vanilla.
