Grays New Grove Old Tradition 8
A solid but modest Mauritius rum: easy-drinking, lightly smoky and nutty with chocolate touches. Enjoyed for price and accessibility, but many find it a bit thin and unexciting overall.
Those who enjoy gentle, budget-friendly rums with soft chocolate, light smoke and nutty notes, and want an unfussy sipper or mixer that won’t overwhelm the palate.

Extremely influenced by the French oak barrels. This gives it a certain dirty note that you don't usually find in this price range. Therefore, I give it a relatively high rating
Auto-translatedLeider total verwässerter rum. Ein paar Aromen von dörrobst und Leder geben diesem Rum ein wenig Charakter. Aber ansonsten ist er viel zu dünn. Wenn man mal auf Mauritius ist kann man den mal probieren
New grove is a distillery I have had quite a few tastings but never had anything spectacular . This gets added to that list .. this has lovely coffee notes for .. Nosing Grass, oranges , lemons , oak , coffee Tasting The tasting reminds me heavily of cointreau mixed with an Agricole..
There are much better ones from New Grove.
