How does this rum taste?
The New Grove Savoir Faire - Small Batch rum originates from the Grays distillery in Mauritius, selected by The Nectar. Distilled in 2005 from molasses and aged for 12 years, this rum features a complex blend of licorice, coconut, menthol, banana, and caramel on the nose, with a 50% ABV. Its taste profile includes strong notes of licorice and menthol, accented by fruity sparkles of apricot and peaches. User reviews highlight its pleasantly fresh, woody, and fruity character, with a medium-long finish. Although some find it lacking in depth, others praise its price-to-quality ratio and aromatic variety, making it a noteworthy choice among Mauritian rums.

12.06.2020 Relaxing over a nice lunch with friends and family and a few rums. Notes Medium dark colour. Nose Fresh, wood, vegetal, tropical fruits, herbs, light mint, faint caramel. Palate Round, fresh, fruity, mango, spice, herbs, balanced, light wood, faibt roasted. Finish Medium long, wood, light fruits, light mint. Extra note Add a bit of water and a lot if herbal notes are released.
Very pleasant with a nice length in the mouth. Just give it time to open up and you have a nice fruit salad!
Tasted at Sanctus Spiritus ‘24, so my review remains rather concise. On the nose enticing aromas of passionfruit, coconut husks and barrel influence, rounded off by bitter agrume. It’s very mentholated and in the tail even a little oily and dirty. The palate is very accessible, yet even more exciting. A continuation of aromas: fruity and cool; with more grapefruit peel, more wood presence, and a hint of diesel. Finishes mid-long, fruity and minty fresh. To me another clear example of a great Mauritian, and that New Grove is slept upon. If only it was bottled at a little higher strength, it would pack an even more powerful punch.
Alcoholic power but no mouthfeel. Very disappointed!
