How does this rum taste?
Whisky-leaning, dry New Grove sipper
If you like New Grove but want a gentle nod toward whisky, this keeps the house fruitiness and adds dry oak and light smoke without overwhelming you.
Those seeking cask strength intensity, big sweetness, or lush complexity; the drier, slightly diluted, whisky-leaning profile may feel too simple or austere.

Ein schöner New Grove. Für umgerechnet 29€ ein absoluter Preis-Leistungs-Kracher. Die 6% mehr im Vergleich zum New Grove 10 Jahre mit 40% sorgen spürbar für mehr Geschmack. Das Finish ist super dezent, dafür ist der Whisky nicht so dominant…
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.
