New Grove Savoir-Faire Belle Vue 2005
Peach lovers, this one's for you. It leads with ripe peach and grapefruit, backed by caramel, vanilla and a dry, slightly bitter oak that keeps the sweetness in check. A few tasters catch mint, litchi and even red fruit after air. At 45% it reads a touch thin, but it's an easy, fruity Mauritius sipper with real character.
The community says- Ripe peach fruit

How does New Grove Savoir-Faire Belle Vue 2005 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Fruity peach-and-grapefruit sipper, slightly thin Well-liked as a fruity, peach-forward everyday sipper. Most agree the 45% dilution leaves it a bit thin and the finish turns dry and bitter, but the fruit and value win people over.

Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Most helpful positive review
A New Grove with all the characteristics that make a New Grove, albeit on the back burner. In view of the price, the famous red fruitiness and depth are of course not particularly pronounced, and the rum is also a little too weak on the chest and slightly too bitter on the palate for me; but it is and remains a pleasant rum to open the evening or as an easy sipper for in between at a high level.

Mauritius rum always has very vegetal hints for me, even in molasses distillates, as here. The peach is a bit hidden on the nose but comes out well on the palate. Easy to drink.
Review by Maxence
Nice fruity and sweet profile. Alcohol integration is not that good in mouth. Still a good rum with its own style 😋
Review by Jakob
Still somewhat restrained on the nose, but with a wonderful aromatic power on the palate. Rich mint, vanilla, caramel, tropical fruits, well-dosed wood, plus some spicy and subtly roasted notes - the 45% works excellently here. Grays at an impressive level.
Review by Timo Groeger
I really like this New Grove from Grays. It's really very fruity, I can also recognize peach here. Otherwise, there's a light sweetness made up of caramel and vanilla and a bit of wood.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Typical grapefruit peel aromas as so often with Grays & New Grove, but with a somewhat unusual but nevertheless fitting slight bitterness and smokiness. Aromatically balanced and complex and rather something for advanced drinkers compared to the 10y old Tradition new grove. A little more "demanding" to drink! Could do with a few % more.

#5299 03.05.2025 Running some samples while watching "Bumblebee" Nose Light wood, faint roasted, fruits, pineapple, light dried fruit, spice. Palate Fresh, round, light wood, fruits, light spicy, light smoke, light peach, spice. Finish Medium long, light wood, light pineapple, light peach, spice. Empty glass Pineapple, faint smoke, faint caramel.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
Another New Grove in the glass. On the nose: This one is milder than the 12 year old. Woody, light roasted notes, light vanilla notes, grapefruit notes, light citrus notes and light orange notes. Taste: Grapefruit notes, woody notes, roasted notes, spicy notes, light vanilla notes, light caramel notes and then you get some bitter notes from herbal notes and light tobacco notes. The earthy notes do appear in the palate after the rum has been sitting in the glass for a while Finish: Woody, minty, light roasted notes, light vanilla. Medium finish. Didn't offer much on the nose, but this one did deliver slightly better palate than the 12 year old.
Review by Johannes
Typical New Grove taste in a pleasant dilution
Review by Mentalo
Fruity notes of peach and some grapefruit. Slight sweetness and pleasant spicy notes. It lacks a little depth and is slightly too thin overall at 45%. For the price, however, this is still a good bottling from Grays.
Review by Christoph
Peach, grapefruit and blood orange served on bitter dry oak. Nice complexity.
Review by Dirk E.
A nice rum with finishing in Cognac barrels, in my opinion you can taste this very well.
Review by RumTaTa
Great rum with a twist in the direction of herbs! Price / performance top!
Review by TheJackDrop
Quoi, personne n’aime les profils New Grove typiques 👀 ? Oui, il y a une légère amertume; quelques tanins présents qui assèchent un peu le profil, mais c’est aussi ça qui - à mon sens - fait que le rhum ne tombe pas dans la lourdeur du sucre. Une superbe pêche, pas mal de menthol, une pincée d’épices, de pamplemousse, et de vanille, au milieux du bois noble, patiné. Top ! A ce prix j’en prends une bouteille tout de suite. Edit : l’oxydation amène quand même un peu trop de bois et d’amertume en finale..
Review by zabo
Today compared three New Grove Savoire Fair, with 13, 15 and 16 years. Thanks to Bauerngaumen in Berlin for the split. For me, because of the ABV, rather easy sippers. If I had to rank the three, the 15-year would come out on top.
Review by Jeremy Hardy
Sweet in taste and alcohol Too sweet for me
Review by Basti
Super fruity, very inviting nose. The taste is also very fruity with a dominant peach note. Alcohol well integrated, easy sipper. Relatively flat due to the reduction to 45%, but still a delicious rum and good PLV.
Review by Chrischi78
A very fine new guest in my collection. Really a little surprise in the rum business: The nose is confused with light wood and a lychee-peach note, very exciting and equally pleasant. On the palate then a very decent body especially for the 45% alcohol: wood, subtle sweetness, lychee, peach and a floral, spicy note. Really nice. The price-performance ratio is mega. Snatched on Black Friday for €39, but even at the normal price a good buddy in the rum bar! Purchase recommendation for those who want to escape the eternal Hampden hype! Slight bitterness on the finish.
Review by Jacques etdom
The nose is superb, a real tropical fruit salad. On the palate it's top, really what I like, mango, passion fruit, peach. After airing, more very ripe red fruits. All enhanced with the little spicy tip of alcohol (which also makes you never get tired of it). The finish is moderately long with a somewhat astringent and dry side. The quality-price ratio is very good. The only problem is that the bottle will finish quickly, it's addictive, we come back to it with great pleasure.
Review by Christian Rudt
Mega fruity nose with lots of peach. On the palate then also bitter orange / grapefruit to earthy notes. Bit like fruit juice with alcohol. Really tasty 😋
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Was curious to try this one, as this the first molasses based rum from Mauritius for me. It's a good and interesting one. Peaches, oranges mixed with significant wood influence, prominent through nuts and herbs. A floral touch as well. Not fully balanced but still interesting enough to keep sipping. Thanks RumTata for sharing a sample.
Review by Nicolas38
Excellent. Très fruité. Fruits tropicaux. Manque peut être un peu de longueur.
