Velier Magnum Series #2 Beenleigh 8 Year 2015 1500ml

In 2021, La Maison and Velier launched a rum bottling range in collaboration with Magnum, the legendary photo agency founded in 1947 by some of the greatest names in photography including Robert Capa and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Magnum has long brought together many of the world’s finest photojournalists, and the rums bottled for this range match the quality of these legendary photographers. All releases are available in both 700ml and 1500 ml (aka “magnum”) bottles.

This second edition of the Magnum range celebrates American photographer Alex Webb, born in 1952 and a member of the agency since 1979. He is renowned for his vibrant, captivating photographs that capture serendipitous, enigmatic moments. More than just a collection of rums, this series embodies a bridge between the art of distillation and that of the image. Each bottle brings these two worlds together, highlighting an original work by a master photographer and an exceptional rum from a renowned distillery. This range is designed to appeal not only to rum lovers, but also to art and photography collectors.

Established in 1884 in South East Queensland, Beenleigh stands as a monument to Australian rum history. The distillery sources molasses exclusively from the country’s last remaining private mill. Its unique character comes from a dual distillation process: a first pass through a column still followed by a final distillation in 'The Old Copper,' a legendary pot still in operation since 1889.

Aged in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at a robust 60% ABV, this limited edition captures the unmistakable, bold profile that defines Beenleigh.
