New Grove is the rum label of Grays Distillery on Mauritius, working almost entirely from molasses distilled on a column still and aged in the island’s tropical climate. The house style is easy to spot once you know it: yellow fruit like peach and apricot, red currant, a green menthol or eucalyptus streak, and gentle wood and spice underneath. Several reviewers compare the fruitier bottlings to a Trinidad TDL, which tells you where this sits on the map.

Across 720 community reviews the range holds a median of 8.3/10. Enthusiasts rate the single casks and cask-strength releases highest, while the standard-strength Savoir-Faire bottlings and some experimental wood finishes draw more mixed notes for feeling thin or over-oaked.

The New Grove lineup compared

Which bottling is the better one is decided neither by price nor by the age on the label. Here they stand side by side, sorted by the community's median rating. The number of ratings sits next to it: a high score from few voices says less than a middling one from many.

More About New Grove

New Grove comes from Grays Distillery on Mauritius, a producer that has quietly built a following among enthusiasts who want something outside the usual Caribbean names. The rum is made mostly from molasses on a column still, then aged under a hot tropical climate that pushes maturation faster than in Europe. Many casks are French oak from the Limousin, and the more sought-after releases arrive at cask strength as single casks.

The house character is consistent enough that reviewers use it as a shorthand: ripe peach and apricot, red and white currant, a cooling menthol or eucalyptus note, honeyed sweetness and a measured layer of wood and baking spice. Several tasters remark that the fruitier expressions drift close to a Trinidadian TDL, funky and green rather than heavy and dark.

The catalogue runs from accessible Savoir-Faire bottlings such as Belle Vue, Beau Plan and Ville Bague, usually around 45 percent, to stronger single casks, the fruit-forward 100% Tropical and the Joeystarr XO. Grays has also experimented with wood finishes, including Acacia, Merisier wild cherry, and whisky casks from Rozelieures and Islay. The Acacia and Merisier finishes divide opinion for their unusual oak; the peated Islay and Rozelieures finishes are the least loved, with reviewers feeling the whisky smothers the rum’s fruit.

The lighter bottlings work well as an easy sipper to open an evening, while the cask-strength single casks reward slow, neat drinking with a little air in the glass. If you want to buy New Grove or read a New Grove review before you commit, the fruit-driven single casks are the safest bet, and the standard-strength releases are the gentler, everyday option.
