How does this rum taste?
The New Grove Savoir-Faire Distillerie du Vercors rum is crafted in Mauritius by Grays distillery, combining 8 years of mature aging with a whisky cask finish. Its aromatic profile includes woody, citrus, and raisin notes, while the taste leans toward pronounced orange, tannins, and caramel nuances. Users have highlighted its unique interplay of oak and subtle smoky undertones. However, the dilution seems to impact its depth, with some reviewers suggesting it could benefit from a less diluted version. Enjoy this limited edition release, with only 1500 bottles available, for an intriguing blend of rum and whisky characteristics.

Un rhum dégusté au Rhum Fest en 2024. Le nez n’est pas trop marqué par le whisky. La bouche est un peu piquante, un léger fumé et des arômes de whisky se développent et cachent un peu les autres arômes. La finale est fumée et encore sur le whisky. Je comprends que les producteurs de rhum essaient de toucher les amateurs de whisky, mais personnellement je trouve très souvent la finition whisky très déçevante. Et encore je n’ai pas goûté la version tourbée.
A somewhat oaky New Grove. French/US (virgin) oak combination of flavours. Some PX/Red Wine/Dried fruits and lots of cherry. Not so very whisky-y but the oak might have something to do with that. Not the best N.G. but very decent still. Retry: still very decent stuff.
A partir de 10 ans, ca devient intéressant chez New Grove, en dessous, bof bof. Notes prises lors du Rhum Fest 2024, Notes rapides et palais un peu lourd, désolé :) On a ici : principalement des céréales Un rhum : qui tire plus vers le whisky quand meme, mais surtout très sec Finale : courte et seche Trop droit, trop "simple" pour moi.
