Loved by Harald, Frank & 23 more

A rum for curious explorers, this 8‑year New Grove balances sweet cherries, red berries and tropical fruit with spicy acacia wood, cocoa and mild bitterness. At 47%, it’s flavorful yet still easygoing—often praised as an “easy sipper” and beginner‑friendly introduction to unusual cask finishes.

How does Grays New Grove Savoir Faire Double Cask Acacia taste?

Aggregated from 50 community reviews.

Fruity cherries meet spicy acacia wood A rum for curious explorers, this 8‑year New Grove balances sweet cherries, red berries and tropical fruit with spicy acacia wood, cocoa and mild bitterness. At 47%, it’s flavorful yet still easygoing—often praised as an “easy sipper” and beginner‑friendly introduction to unusual cask finishes.

Perfect for

Curious explorers who enjoy sweet-fruity rums with noticeable oak, cherry and berry notes, and want to try an offbeat acacia double cask at a still-manageable 47%.

Less suitable for

Those who dislike woody, tannic or slightly bitter finishes, or who prefer very dry, clean profiles without sweet fruit and caramel influence.

8.6/10

Farbe: Leuchtendes Mahagoni Geruch: Riecht süß nach Tropenhölzern, Schokolade, Waldhonig und Rosinen. Etwas kräuterig und floral. Geschmack: Süß im Mund, dann fruchtig. Beim Sclucken zunächst vor allem Toffee und Karamell, dabei würzig. Zudem Aromen von Maronen und Kardamom, Schokolade, Harz und Waldhonig. Abgang: Mittellang. Würzig mit Toffee, harzig, kräuterig und leicht bitter. 86 Punkte

8.5/10

Intensiv lieblich-fruchtig aber auch würzig in der Nase. Fast schon blumig. Tropische Früchte wie Papaya, zusammen mit Kirsche und Johannisbeere. Die Süße von hellem Ahornsirup und karamellisiertem Zucker. Dahinter leicht holzig und Vanille, Vorbericht sich etwas Zimt. Auch am Gaumen würzig-fruchtig. Wieder mit Kirsche, tropischen Früchten, etwas mehr Richtung Orange und am Ende Trauben. Auch hier leicht blumig. Duft-holz, etwas Vanille, leicht karamellig-nussig. Aromatisch, lecker, gut. 47% gehen ok, mehr wäre auch gut. Gefällt!

8.3/10

A rum with a lot of wood, followed by caramel, spices and toasty nut chocolate. Fruit (red fruit) also, but went with me compared to the other notes rather under or rather remains in the background. In the mouth then sharp with spices and wood. Now clearer fruit, caramel and nut chocolate are also found. Very round thing!
