    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love the vivid Armagnac influence: ripe peaches and vanilla on the nose, then mint and menthol over warm oak spice. At 53.1% cask strength it drinks surprisingly smooth, with many calling it great value. Several compare it favorably to other Grays and find it easy to sip. A few mention a shorter finish or lighter mouthfeel, but overall this limited 597-bottle release is a popular pick.

    Wow, vraiment l’île Maurice est pleine de pépites ! Sauf la finale qui aurait pu être plus longue, pour moi c’est un sans faute. Le nez très riche en fruité, du coing notamment, en épices et en caramel au beurre quelques notes de chocolat au lait également, superbe. La bouche plus fraîche passe assez rapidement, sur une base de menthol qui dure, et de pamplemousse. Ça pétille en bouche ! C’est très réussi, je ne sais pas ce qu’a apporté le finish dans tout ça, mais c’est très très bon.

    Clearly milder and more drinkable than the 11y old without finish. The additional 20 months in the Armagnac finish have softened the rum perfectly and taken him some of the edges. The 11y is clearly more funky and intense, this one is clearly more harmonious but still with enough power. Exciting are the light peachy / apricot notes with eucalyptus and dark chocolate with cappuccino, cinnamon, nutmeg and nuts, as well as some lemon zest and at the very end comes back to me the characteristic menthol / grapefruit peel note. I also like very well, almost a little better depending on the mood!😁🥳Anyway, both bottlings are imho absolute Mauritius Gray's benchmarks!👌🏽

    Gefällt mir sehr gut! Durch die Minznoten würde ich ihn blind wahrscheinlich bei TDL einordnen. Sehr spannend!
