CDI Grays Mauritius (Perola) 2009 13yr 53,1%

RX12864 Very good Single Cask 597 bottles Under 100€
“Balanced, fruity, with Armagnac finish. Harmonious, great value. Must-try!”

The Mauritius (Perola) by Compagnie des Indes is a remarkable rum from the Grays distillery, aged for 13 years and bottled at cask strength with an ABV of 53.1%. Distilled from sugar cane juice, this limited release (597 bottles) impresses with intense Armagnac influence. The nose reveals notes of peaches, apricot, mint, and barrel, while the palate offers flavors of menthol, tea, and a rich armagnac-barrel character. Users appreciate its harmonious blend of fruitiness, woodiness, and smoothness. Often compared to Armagnac, this rum's depth is evident in its peach and apricot tones, with underlying chocolate, caramel, and light smoke. Great value for its quality, this rum is both approachable and complex, making it a must-try for rum enthusiasts.

“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!👌🏽”

“Das ist meine erste Mauritius Melasse-Session, nach dem ich sie gestern schonmal angetastet habe. Im direkten Vergleich der Savoir Faire 2009 für LMDW, der Savoir Faire 2010 für LMDW und der CDI 2009 13 yo für Perola. Vom Profil sind sich der Perola CDI und der LMDW sehr ähnlich, aber die Unterschiede sind gut wahrnehmbar. Auch hier haben wir den an TDL erinnernden Pfirsich-Eistee, dazu Holz und leichte Röstigkeit. Der CDI ist etwas leichter, etwas flacher. Mehr Zitrusfrüchte, weniger Kokos-Schokolade. Mit den 53,1 ist er extrem entspannt z. Trinken, Alkohol ist kaum zu spüren. Die Früchte bleiben lm Mund sehr präsent, sind weiter frisch und reif statt getrocknet. Das ist ziemlich cool. Der Mund erinnert an den Cadenhead TDL 2002 (Mango eau de vie), was auch an der leichten Minze liegen mag. Der Abgang ist ebenso fruchtig wie der Mund, er wird allerdings begleitet von einer sehr herben pflanzlichen Note, die ich kaum bestimmen kann. Es bleibt eine durchaus langanhaltende Zitronensäure zurück. Aus meiner dreier Rund ist der 2010er LMDW der beste, die Intensität im Mund macht die Zurückhaltung in der Nase mehr als Wett. Alkoholintegration, Balance, Komplexität alles top. Der 2009er ist ihm sehr, sehr dicht auf den Fersen. Hier überzeugt vor allem die Alte Marille und die höhere Komplexität, aber das leichte Beißen kostet ein paar Punkte. Vielleicht ist der Unterschied eher einer der Tagesform als des Geschmacks. Der CDI ist schon sehr gut, aber fällt etwas ab. Er ist leichter und damit zu weit auf der fruchtigen Seite.”

“Habe diesen aus Gunnar seinen Split gegen den S.B.S Mauritius von 2009 antreten lassen. Muss sagen, dass mir dieser um einiges besser gefällt, wobei ich finde, dass er nicht unbedingt eine Offenbarung ist. Aber eigentlich kann man für den Preis nicht viel falsch machen.”
