A bold experiment from Grays, Mauritius, selected by Vagabond Spirits and discussed in 15 community reviews. If citrus‑driven profiles appeal, this distinctive sipper is steadily winning curious palates.

Lots of yellow fruit, tangerine, orange, peach, with a strong apricot finish. Somewhere there are light herbs, a little wood and caramel. The rum also has something of a tart tatin and isotonic drink powder. Alcohol integration and the somewhat short finish dampen the impression.
Messebewertung 14. GRF 2025 Ich wurde vorgewarnt. Und nee, leider wirklich misslungen. Weder Fisch noch Fleisch. Schade, da hätte man aus dem vermutlich guten Grundprodukt von Grays (das man null rausschmecken kann) sicher mehr machen können, z. B. durch längere Lagerung. Oder für solche Experimente gleich einen anderen Rum von Mauritius nehmen sollen, z. B. einen Labourdonnais (passt für solche Spiced-Geschichten traditionell besser). Ach so, und ist das wirklich ein Grays-Rum auf Melassebasis, also ein New Grove? Der Untertitel "Rhum VSOP" und auch mein Gaumen lassen das bezweifeln. Also falls das ein Rhum Arrangé sein soll, dann würde ich sagen, ganz ok.
So I have to say really exciting and wacky. Orange, tangerine and yellow fruits at the beginning. The taste is slightly sweet and a bit of bitter orange peel is added. The finish is nice, slightly woody and pleasant.
Leider ist diese Abfüllung von Vagabond nicht ganz so mein Fall. War ein netter Versuch mit diesem Orangen finish. Mir ist das viel zu überladen. Der Rum kommt nicht mehr richtig durch und wird verdrängt.
