Australia’s first-born distillery, Beenleigh Distillery, has launched its limited edition Dragon Release Rum, a blend crafted from a selection of rums barrel aged for up to eight years, in tribute to the 2024 Year of the Dragon.

In individually numbered bottles, the Dragon Release Rum features a palate of rich, buttery, and spiced wood notes resulting in a smooth taste made for sipping neat.

A nod to the spirit of Beenleigh Distillery and the trials of recent years, including the floods of 2017 and 2020, the package and bottle design of the Dragon Release Rum weaves together tall stories, colourful characters, and heritage.

The launch follows Beenleigh Distillery’s wins at the Australian International Rum Awards, where its Double Cask Rum scored 94 points, winning the trophy for best Pot and Column Still Rum and a Double Gold medal.

The limited edition Dragon Release Rum is available online at Beenleigh Rum and select retailers around the country.
