Grays
Grays Mauritius rum craftsmanship: tropical aging, single estate character, fruit-forward finesse
From the sun‑drenched cane fields of Mauritius, Grays has evolved from sugar heritage into a modern rum house known for precise column distillation and expressive tropical maturation. Its portfolio ranges from the approachable Lazy Dodo Single Estate to characterful New Grove bottlings and the internationally acclaimed Equiano collaboration.
On RumX, the community has posted 2,232 reviews with a strong 7.9/10 median rating. Fans praise ripe stone fruits, mint/eucalyptus freshness and classy oak spice; critics note certain lines (e.g., Arcane Extraroma) lean sweet. If you enjoy fruit‑forward, well‑aged Mauritian profiles with occasional grapefruit‑peel bitters, Grays deserves a place on your short list.

Flavour profile of Grays
Most frequently mentioned flavors
RumX drinkers highlight a tropical fruit core (peach, mango, passion fruit) lifted by mint/eucalyptus and supported by well‑judged oak. New Grove Savoir‑Faire single casks earn praise for depth and value, while Equiano appeals as an unsweetened, accessible bridge. Lazy Dodo’s sweeter tilt is polarizing, and Arcane’s candied profile divides opinions, yet the house character, balanced bitterness and inventive cask work keep this Mauritius rum producer in frequent rotation.
