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 Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
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.
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 Christoph
Peach, grapefruit and blood orange served on bitter dry oak. Nice complexity.
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 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 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 Rumpalumpa
Mauritius Rum hat für mich immer sehr pflanzliche Anklänge, auch bei Melassedestillaten, so auch hier. Der Pfirsich versteckt sich an der Nase etwas, kommt am Gaumen aber gut hervor. Lässt sich locker trinken.
Review by Chrischi78
Ein sehr feiner neuer Gast in meiner Sammlung. Wirklich auch eine kleine Überraschung mal im Rum Geschäft: Die Nase wird mit leichtem Holz und einer Litschi-Pfirsich Note verwirrt, sehr spannend, genauso angenehm. Im Geschmack dann ein sehr ordentlicher Körper insbesondere für die 45 Volumenprozent: Holz, dezente süsse, Litschi, Pforsich und eine florale, würzige Note. Richtig schön. Das PLV ist mega. Am Black-Friday für 39€ geschossen, aber auch für den normalen Kurs ein guter Kumpan in der Rum-Bar! Kaufempfehlung für den, der dem ewigen Hampden-Hype entfliehen möchte! Im Abgang leichte Bitterkeit.
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.
Review by Jacques etdom
Le nez est superbe, une vrai salade de fruits tropicaux. En bouche c est top, vraiment ce que j aime, de la mangue, fruit de la passion, pêche. Apres aeration, plus de fruits rouges tres murs. Le tout rehaussé avec la petite pointe piquante de l'alcool (qui fait aussi qu on ne s en lasse pas). La finale est moyennement longue avec un côté un peu astringent et sec. Le rapport qualité prix est très bon. Le seul problème est que la bouteille va se finir rapidement, c est addictif, on y reviens avec le plus grand plaisir.
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 😋
