    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love its peach-forward, tropical fruit profile lifted by vanilla, woody spice and a minty touch. On the palate, grapefruit zest adds a pleasant bitter snap. At 45% it drinks effortlessly—many call it great value—though a few wish for more punch. A 2005 Mauritius release from Grays, aged 15 years and limited to 1992 bottles. Well-rated by 47 reviewers with a rising trust level.

    Nice fruity and sweet profile. Alcohol integration is not that good in mouth. Still a good rum with its own style 😋

    A New Grove with all the characteristics that make a New Grove, albeit on the back burner. In view of the price, the famous red fruitiness and depth are of course not particularly pronounced, and the rum is also a little too weak on the chest and slightly too bitter on the palate for me; but it is and remains a pleasant rum to open the evening or as an easy sipper for in between at a high level.

    Still somewhat restrained on the nose, but with a wonderful aromatic power on the palate. Rich mint, vanilla, caramel, tropical fruits, well-dosed wood, plus some spicy and subtly roasted notes - the 45% works excellently here. Grays at an impressive level.
