Sipped neat or over ice, this drinks fresh and minty — think iced-tea peach with a mojito-like coolness, then spice, orange peel and a light touch of wood on the finish. Several tasters were surprised by how much flavor it packs at 46%, though a few find the alcohol not fully tucked in. One member calls it the high-end version of Lazy Dodo.
The community says- Minty menthol freshness
- Peach and fruit

Fresh, minty peach sipper from Mauritius A fresh, minty, fruity Mauritius crowd favorite. Most love the mint-menthol-peach profile and long finish; a couple note slight heat and a shortish tail on second tasting.

outstanding Mauritius rum. quasi the high-end version of the Lazy Dodo, with significantly more mint, menthol, grapefruit peel, allspice and some currant that go hand in hand in taste and nose. the acacia wood adds a nice spice and not too much woodiness and the port wine finish makes everything very very creamy, palatable and round. i will buy it for sure! great price performance and for me a new reference rum from Mauritius with an incredibly good PLV.

This is simply an awesome profile! I've never been disappointed by these minty Greys bottlings. Minty on the nose, like a mojito, with a peachy sweetness and some acidity. On the palate, I find it less intense than most people seem to, so a second tasting is probably needed. First impression: tasty, but not the aroma bomb I was hoping for. However, I like the finish again very much, long and dominated by mint and woody tannins, which are not too strong.
Review by Basti
On the 👃 - as often mentioned - iced tea peach with mint. On the palate, the mint is more in the foreground for me and the peach notes only come through discreetly. All in all, a delicious, relaxed Grays with a great PLV!
Review by Rumpalumpa
The herbaceous agricole notes of this rum have a distinct minty tang, which is particularly noticeable in the finish. While I'm not usually a big Agricole fan, I quite like this. Peach is also noticeable.
Review by Timo Groeger
We also bought it at the spirits market in Thessaloniki. Definitely very fresh and floral on the nose, the mint is unmistakable. There's also a lot of mint on the palate and some wood/barrel can be detected.
Review by BjörnNi 🥃
Mega surprised, not expecting much but a blatant explosion of flavor on the palate, the mint comes as a complete surprise. Really good value for money. Absolute recommendation
Review by Thunderbird
A very positive surprise, didn't have too high expectations. A very fresh, minty and fruity rum that still has a lot of aromas despite being diluted, great 👍🏻
Review by Luca
Exciting rum with a top price-performance ratio. It tastes of cola nut, fruit and spices. The alcohol is not so well integrated, but at 46% this is not particularly disturbing. Despite the dilution, the rum is intense.
Review by X-Savior
On The Rocks: On the nose it has strong fruit and alcohol aroma with mild oak and spice. Taste reveals an immediate burn and alcohol building into a more fruity taste with a slight sweetness. Finish is medium with the sweetness fading into a slight bitterness. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose it has a mild sweetness and Pepsi zero aroma. Taste has a mild dusty and a slight fruit undertone. Finish is short with the sweet fruit fading away. This is not bad mixed and is still enjoyable.
Review by Tim
Super tasty and with only 46% also very smooth. Goes down like oil and is sensational for beginners and advanced to discover the world of New Grove. Balanced nose, only the finish might be a bit short, but otherwise a brilliant rum at a low price.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Price to quality is very good on this bottle. Leave to rest before you give it a go! The nose is fresh and fruity with caramel and vanilla. Even more clear in the empty glass after a while. The palate is fruity with spices, mint, herbal and floral notes as well as light wood. The finish is medium long with spices, orange and again a light wooden touch.
Review by TheJackDrop
New tasting! Fresher and frankly worth the effort, Superb fruit, lots of menthol and a little spice and wood. It does the job very, very, very well for this price. Thank you pirogue!
Review by Gregor
3in really great value for money. Nice long finish for little money. I always find a slight sour cherry flavor in both the smell and the taste of the product
Review by BTHHo 🥃
The taste in the mouth it is powerful and balanced, with aromas of sweet and slightly woody spices. Elegant with a long dry finish.
Review by Fuwi
Despite the mint, I surprisingly like it... Great bottling that is a lot of fun! Peach, mint - so iced tea notes, plus cask and somewhere in there elderflower and a light hop note, which despite a fairly low ABV of 46% provides a lot of flavor.
Review by Christoph
Lipton iced tea with a shot. Very pleasant sweetness of peach. Very tasty.
Review by Christian Rudt
Nice complex rum at good drinking strength that brings plenty of menthol, mint and fruit. At the back still nice citrus marmalade. Really tasty and fresh 😋
Review by Djehey
Frais et fruité avec un bel équilibre et une certaine élégance. Tout ça à 40€... Il me fait penser à un TDL.
Review by Michal S
Good price/performance ratio, fresh non-sweet rum.
Review by Palo - V Poháriku
All about the finish for me. Pleasant rum, not too complicated, interesing notes from the acacia finish. Good value / quality ratio.
Review by Rum man
Not a ton of experience with Mauritius so this seemed a good gateway rum. And I am pleasantly suprised by the complexity and variety of flavour that this low ABV dram packs. Even though I do not get that peachy note at all that most others seem to get. This is a nice and minty (yet controlled) sipper.
Review by Jacques etdom
On the nose, we're immediately at Grays, fresh, mentholated, fruity with a cognac side. On the palate, just as fresh, fruity and the typical potpourri side of New Grove. The Port finish is also present and brings something different. A nice length. Excellent value for money (+1 point).
