Grays New Grove Old Tradition 5 5yr 40%

RX1040 Good Column Still Rum <50€
“Pleasant nose, vanilla taste, needs more punch.”

The New Grove Old Tradition 5 Rum is crafted in Mauritius at the renowned Grays Distillery, distilled from molasses using a column still and aged for 5 years. It features a distinctive aroma profile with woody and fruity notes, complemented by hints of licorice and caramel. Taste characteristics predominantly include vanilla, followed by woody and caramel undertones, with subtle fruitiness. While appreciated for its authentic vanilla finish and moderate pricing, some users desire more potency from a higher alcohol content. Its balanced, slightly dry finish and complex nose make it a staple for everyday sipping, offering pleasant yet restrained flavors compared to its older counterparts.
