Review by Mentalo
Ist jetzt kein sonderlich komplexer Rum, aber ich mag einfach diese tolle Pfirsich (Eistee) Note, welche hier wieder toll zur Geltung kommt. Dazu noch eine leichte Minznote und etwas Gewürze. Bringt auch relativ viel Süße mit, aber hier passt das ausnahmsweise ganz gut.
Review by Benoit Mahe
Un rhum assez sympa. Le nez met du temps à s'ouvrir puis offre de beaux fruits tropicaux. La bouche est agréable, assez classique. La finale est originale sur le mentholé et la pêche.
Review by Jeremy Roger 🇫🇷
Found by chance in a small restaurant. Very pleasantly surprised! On the nose it seems good but without much surprise either, but on the palate it's very sweet, fruity and very good with spices and a dosage that reminds us that Antho worked on this bottling. It's really very good and goes great before the meal ❤❤🔥🔥Bravo Old Bro.
Review by Dr.Django
Grays hat es drauf! Wieder ein toller Rum, der etwas unter dem Radar fliegt. etwas auf ser grasigen Seite mit jungem Holz, Karamell und viel Minze und ein leckerer Fruchtkorb aus Holz, in dem ein Bett aus frisch geschnittenem Gras ausgelegt ist. Darauf viele tropische Früchte, aber besonders Pfirsisch.
Review by Romanodeltauro
Puissance aromatique surprenante : des fruits et encore des fruits ! Le nez est envoutant, sur les fruits jaunes (la pèche notamment). L’attaque en bouche est franche et chaude, toujours sur les fruits jaunes, le sucre et les agrumes. Présence d’un léger boisé en arrière bouche. La longueur est correcte et agréable ! Très bon rhum, surprenant.
Review by TheFrenchRefill
Je trouve que c’est un très bon rhum ! Avec de belle note de fruit, bois, épices.
Review by Adrien B
Ba c'est très bon. Tout ce que j'aime de chez new grove. Frais menthe eucalyptus fruité pâte de coing fruit blanc, ça reste lourd et puissant en même temps. Cool
Review by Arthur Moreau
Les fruits jaunes dominent avec la nectarine et la pêche, équilibré par le bois et les épices. Un rhum agréable.
Review by Johannes
Great complexity with beautiful tropical notes and mint.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A rum from Mauritius that incites to travel. The nose is strongly marked by tropical fruits (mango, passion fruit) which embalm the nose, followed by notes of solvents, vanilla wood and menthol. The mouth pours directly a basket of fruits (peaches in particular), followed by chilli and brandy notes. The finish is however rather short and reminds the same tones. Unfortunately, the rum loses aroma after aeration, so that the nose is much less expressive, more pastry but less aromatic. A pleasant rum, which has a good potential and which proposes something different.
Review by Oliver
Beautiful New Grove rum with a very fruity, balanced nose. On the palate, the fruit pretty much disappears and woody, rusty aromas come to the fore. Very good rum, but without being exceptional.
Review by Insta: spiritofbernard 🇫🇷
Un rhum réussi et une bouteille magnifique. Par contre beaucoup trop cher pour la qualité. La gourmandise de la Starr a dû passer par là.
