9.0/10

Clearly a reinvented New Grove profile, close to Jamaican on the nose, ultra-fat on the palate, almost Guyanese on the finish... A truly complex tasting, between sugar, sweetness, fruit, solvents, orange and beautiful spices. Perhaps lacking a touch on the finish to hit 9.3. Superb cask!

8.2/10

Ich bin mit großen Erwartungen an die Verkostung dieses Rums herangegangen, gibt es doch vom Destillationsjahr bisher nur eine weitere (wegen eines Islay-Finishes zu vernachlässigende) Abfüllung (RX16784). Meine Erwartungen wurden ... na ja, vielleicht nicht enttäuscht, aber doch überrascht - wohlwollend ausgedrückt. Aber vielleicht bin ich auch nur verwöhnt durch solche fantastischen Abfüllungen wie RX2744 oder RX13444 aus den zuverlässig ablieferndenden Jahren 2009 und 2010. Hier jedenfalls kann ich auch nach der 3. Verkostung (ich habe es mir nicht leicht gemacht, wollte es nicht glauben) keine typischen New-Grove-Marker wie Aprikose, Johannisbeere oder Minze finden, sondern das Destillat wird von einer übermächtigen Holzigkeit geradezu erdrückt. Ja, der Rum wirkt ölig und der Alkohol scheint gut eingebunden, aber New Grove? Nö, für mich nicht zu erkennen. Fazit: Ein mächtiger, kaum fruchtiger, sondern holzig-würziger Rum, von dem behauptet wird, er sei ein New Grove ... Falls das stimmt, spielt er jedenfalls nicht ganz oben mit.

7.8/10

Reifer Mauritius Rum mit mässig klarer Grays Handschrift aber Einfluss der tropischen Lagerung. In der Nase zeigen sich Vanille, Honig, reife gelbe Frucht und Holz, insgesamt etwas kräftiger und wärmer als viele andere Mauritius Abfüllungen. Am Gaumen süße Frucht, Gewürz und einer leicht trockenen Holznote, die Struktur gibt. Einen ticken zu alkoholisch für eine bessere Bewertung. Wirkt solide, gut gereift, ohne große Ausreißer nach oben oder unten.

Wow – what a bomb launched by Spirit Gallery!!🤤😎 Chapeau🤙🏻 I really enjoyed this rum a lot. Nose: A generous basket of ripe fruits, accompanied by a subtle hint of solvent, cashew nuts, and roasted almonds, topped with delicate shavings of dark chocolate. Palate: A fresh menthol and minty kick right from the start—like the first bite of a minty chewing gum. This is followed by layers of various fruits and gentle barrel notes. The wood stays nicely in the background, and the alcohol is exceptionally well integrated. Finish: Long and delicious, with lingering mint, pipe tobacco, and juicy peaches… simply yummy 🤤🤤🤤

#6378 21.02.2026 Enjoying some samples whilt listening to some nice new Trance musik. Thanks for the samples Henrik, you are the best. What a nice rum with a nice price tag to go with it. Fruity with some nice solvents and good wood and ABV integration. Needs to rest for a while to really open up.
