    How does this rum taste?

    • Complex and warm flavor profile
    • Distinctive fruity and spicy notes
    • Well-integrated Port finish

    The S.B.S Mauritius Rum, distilled at Grays distillery in 2008 and aged for 10 years, is a limited release of just 281 bottles. Selected and bottled by 1423 World Class Spirits, this intriguing Mauritian rum offers a distinctive profile. On the nose, it presents a sweet, fruity aroma with prominent raisin and vanilla notes. The palate reveals layers of grapes, caramel, and spices, complemented by minty and dark chocolate undertones. The Port finish adds depth without overpowering the original flavors. Despite a high ABV of 55.7%, the rum maintains a surprisingly balanced and smooth character, drawing praise for its complexity and warmth, though some find the alcohol less integrated.

    "Reißt mich nicht vom Hocker. Schmeckt irgendwie seltsam. Nach hinten raus zu alkoholisch. Update 2024-08-13: Deutlich süffiger als bei der ersten Verkostung. Das Port-Finish kommt jetzt auch gut durch und rundet den Rum ab. Aufwertung um 4 Punkte auf 80."

    "So jetzt hab ich mich endlich mal um Gunnar seinen Mauritius Split kümmern können. Vom ersten Eindruck ist der gar nicht so schlecht. Wobei mir ein bißchen die Komplexität fehlt. Würde den eher in Richtung easy Sipper stecken."

    "Ein durchaus spannender Grays mit einer Mischung aus Frucht, leicht scharfen Gewürzen und etwas Süßem, gefällt mir ganz gut"

    "Really unusual Mauritius. Chili and grape with some cinnamon and port influence, dangerously quaffable."
