This exclusive Alex Webb Edition is presented in a large 150cl magnum bottle and is created in collaboration with iconic bottler Velier.

The rum was distilled in 2015 at Beenleigh Distillery and bottled in 2023 by Velier in Italy. It has been aged in ex-bourbon casks for eight years where it has developed a rich and aromatic profile. At 60% ABV, it offers an intense and concentrated flavor experience, with fruit, spice and cask depth coming to the fore.

Beenleigh Distillery is one of Australia’s oldest rum distilleries, founded in 1884 on the Albert River in Queensland. The distillery is known for its unique combination of column still distillation and an additional copper pot still distillation. This method produces rums with great complexity, structure and aromatic depth.

The Magnum Series #2 edition is created for rum lovers who want something special. The large 150 cl bottle emphasizes the exclusive character of the rum, making it perfect for both collections and special tastings.
