Grays New Grove Savoir-Faire Distillerie du Vercors (Whisky cask finish) 2013

7.8/10 based on 18 community reviews ↓

A solid stepping stone for rum drinkers curious about whisky finishes. RumX users describe sweet cherry, citrus, dried fruits and light smoke over dry, tannic oak. Good value, more whisky-leaning than most New Grove, best as a focused sipping rum rather than a dessert sweet bomb.

  • Great value
  • Cherry & citrus fruit
  • Gentle smoky notes

How does Grays New Grove Savoir-Faire Distillerie du Vercors (Whisky cask finish) 2013 taste?

Aggregated from 18 community reviews.

Dry, whisky-leaning New Grove sipper A solid stepping stone for rum drinkers curious about whisky finishes. RumX users describe sweet cherry, citrus, dried fruits and light smoke over dry, tannic oak. Good value, more whisky-leaning than most New Grove, best as a focused sipping rum rather than a dessert sweet bomb.

Perfect for

Whisky-curious rum drinkers who enjoy drier profiles with cherry, citrus, light smoke and oak, and want an affordable New Grove that still carries the house fruitiness.

Less suitable for

Those looking for rich sweetness, heavy New Grove funk, or high-intensity cask strength rums; also not ideal if you dislike whisky or dry, tannic finishes.

Ein schöner New Grove. Für umgerechnet 29€ ein absoluter Preis-Leistungs-Kracher. Die 6% mehr im Vergleich zum New Grove 10 Jahre mit 40% sorgen spürbar für mehr Geschmack. Das Finish ist super dezent, dafür ist der Whisky nicht so dominant…

A somewhat oaky New Grove. French/US (virgin) oak combination of flavours. Some PX/Red Wine/Dried fruits and lots of cherry. Not so very whisky-y but the oak might have something to do with that. Not the best N.G. but very decent still. Retry: still very decent stuff.

A partir de 10 ans, ca devient intéressant chez New Grove, en dessous, bof bof. Notes prises lors du Rhum Fest 2024,
Notes rapides et palais un peu lourd, désolé :) 
On a ici : principalement des céréales Un rhum : qui tire plus vers le whisky quand meme, mais surtout très sec Finale : courte et seche Trop droit, trop "simple" pour moi.

Palate Oily, fresh, light, light bitter, light herbal, spice, sweet, spicy, light caramel, dried fruit, light smoke. Finish Medium long, light wood, light smoke, raisin, light orange, spice, medium dry, light herbal.

7.1/10

Un rhum dégusté au Rhum Fest en 2024. Le nez n’est pas trop marqué par le whisky. La bouche est un peu piquante, un léger fumé et des arômes de whisky se développent et cachent un peu les autres arômes. La finale est fumée et encore sur le whisky. Je comprends que les producteurs de rhum essaient de toucher les amateurs de whisky, mais personnellement je trouve très souvent la finition whisky très déçevante. Et encore je n’ai pas goûté la version tourbée.

Le nez est tout de suite reconnaissable, nous sommes bien chez new grove, avec ce côté fruité si typique. Un côté légèrement fumé vient donner de la profondeur. En bouche, par contre, cela s effondre. On sent énormément la dilution, qui la pour le coup gâche tout. Ah qu est ce que j aurais aimé avoir ça en brut de fut, voir beacoup moins dilué. Le côté fumé dû au whisky se retrouve plus en fin de bouche et dans la finale. Un gros regret, car j adore new grove.
