Holmes Cay Australia Beenleigh 2012 Single Cask Rum – A Distinctive Australian Heritage Pour

Holmes Cay’s Australia Beenleigh 2012 is a standout single-cask release from one of Australia’s oldest distilleries. Distilled from 100% molasses in a traditional pot still, this rum spent six years maturing in American oak in Queensland, then four additional years in ex-bourbon casks in the UK. Bottled at 61% ABV, non-chill filtered, and free from additives, it offers a raw, robust expression of Australian rum craftsmanship.
