Grays New Grove Savoir-Faire Rozelieures (Whisky cask finish) 2013
Loved by TheJackDrop
For curious explorers who enjoy whisky influence: an 8‑year molasses rum at 46% with light sweetness, yellow fruit, nuts and a clear smoky/peaty, woody edge. RumX members see it as interesting but divisive, especially in how strongly the French whisky cask shapes the profile.

Whisky‑forward, smoky New Grove experiment For curious explorers who enjoy whisky influence: an 8‑year molasses rum at 46% with light sweetness, yellow fruit, nuts and a clear smoky/peaty, woody edge. RumX members see it as interesting but divisive, especially in how strongly the French whisky cask shapes the profile.
Whisky drinkers and rum fans curious about peaty, whisky‑finished rums with woody, nutty and earthy notes rather than typical tropical New Grove fruitiness.
Those seeking classic fruity New Grove, people who dislike peat/smoke, or anyone wanting a clearly rum‑forward profile without dominant whisky cask character.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4954 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Light wood, faint roasted, fruity, light caramel, dried fruit, faint coffee. Palate Oily, round, light wood, light coffee, light nutts, dried fruit, faint orange, spice, faint peat. Finish Medium long, light wood, light roasted, dried fruit, light nutts, spice, faint peat.
Review by TheJackDrop
Tasted again. Okay, on the nose it's a rum, quite woody and nutty, a bit like an old Clemente. On the palate, the whisky overturns the table, big tannins, a little cereal, light smoke. The wood is very present, but it's a success.
Review by Kamil Křenek
A very good rum worth trying
Review by Righrum
Just an hint of usual new grove loads of tropical fruits, and a layer earthy and dirty due to the finish, but the latter doesn't improve much the drinking experience
Review by Vincent D
Testé au RhumFest Paris 2025. J'aime de plus en plus ce que fait New Grove mais je ne suis pas emballé par ce finish en fut de whisky français. Je trouve que la typicité du rhum originel y perd beaucoup. On conserve du fruit jaune très agréable mais le whisky prend le pas. Agréable malgré cela mais sûrement pas nécessaire.
