Review by Stefan H.
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
Review by Gregor
Leider 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
Review by Kieron Wood
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..
