„Horny shit. Very strong and intense, the cognac barrel is not too dominant at any point makes the whole but also very dry, furry and astringent. The intense bitter notes of grapefruit peel, bitter orange, as well as eucalyptus tea and menthol mouthwash, as well as a light sour cherry throat candy are just the hammer and extraordinary. Definitely imho a benchmark rum when it comes to Mauritius in general and the Grays distillery!“

„I do not know so many rums from Grays, but I would call this one rather atypical. I had this rum as a blind sample and have typed on tdl vintage 2001-2003 because of the mint note. Usually Grays has more of an orange note. Therefore somewhat atypical, but in any case very good and exciting.“

„Absolut positive Überraschung, hier passiert richtig was im Glas. Eine sehr schöne frische Minznote, dunkle Früchte, hinten raus etwas ungestüm. Trotzdem: Auf dem Preisniveau gibt es nur noch wenig vergleichbare Qualität.“

„What, only 11 years in the barrel? Would have held the R(h)um blind for significantly older. Therefore, good example of the fact that for the quality / taste / character fermentation may well be more decisive than the storage time, as I could learn in a Velier tasting at the 11th GRF (although only in an aside😉). Surprisingly deep and heavy and very adult on the palate, while the nose is quite restrained. A powerful lad that carries the fur inside. Reminds me distantly of a Savanna.Still runs under the radar, clear recommendation.“

„Für mich einer meiner Lieblingskäufe in diesem Jahr. Preis-Leistung ist hier wirklich sehr sehr gut und das Geschmacksprofil gefällt mir sehr. Ich ziehe diesen der Schwesterabfüllung mit Armagnac-Fisnish deutlich vor.“

„Auch hier wieder tolle Aromen, die Nase mit ordentlich Lösungsmittel lässt erstmal gar nicht erahnen wo wir hier herkommen. Am Gaumen dann eher auf der bitteren Seite mit bitter-sauren Seite mit orange und einer Portion Grapefruit. Im Vergleich zum Armagnac Finish etwas komplexer aber weniger rund. Geschmackssache oder Tagesform was man hier favorisiert. Schlicht tolle Qualität.“

„Brilliant rum as I did not expect it to be this tasty. Menthol, citrus fruit, acidity and a slightly bitter sourness make for a pleasant experience. Thank you for sharing Gunnar. 🤩“

„Mir gefällt der im Armagnac Fass gefinishte Rum (RX12864) besser. Der hiesige Rum ohne Finish ist recht scharfkantig, aber nicht schlecht.“
