Beenleigh #173 – 15 year Australian rum 65,2% 2023 | Silver Seal Whisky Company

Here’s rum for the uncompromising enthusiast. Beenleigh #173 – 15 Year Old Australian Rum is an explosive and deeply concentrated single cask bottling from the legendary Beenleigh distillery in Australia, selected and bottled by Silver Seal Whisky Company in Scotland. At 65.2%, this rum delivers maximum intensity and character.

Distilled in 2007 at Beenleigh and matured for 15 years before bottling in 2023, this is a rum with both mature depth and raw power. Cask 173 has yielded just 259 bottles – a true limited single cask, with every drop reflecting this particular cask.

Beenleigh is known for its characterful and often slightly funky style, where fruit, spice and structure go hand in hand. At cask strength, you get the full spectrum: concentrated fruit, rich molasses, intense oak and a long, warm finish. This is a rum that deserves a tulip glass and time in the glass – and possibly a few drops of water to open up even more layers.

Tasting notes
