    "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 β€˜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."
