S.B.S 2010 Mauritius French Oak & Port Cask 10yo 46% 200ml, part of the Experimental Cask Series from Grays Distillery, also known as "New Grove," offers an enticing and complex flavor journey. Aged for a full decade in Port casks, this rum unfolds a unique aromatic and taste profile. On the nose, it greets you with an inviting blend of berries, plums, wood, and herbal notes, complemented by alcohol-soaked cherries and a hint of tobacco. The palate reveals layers of sweet syrup, fruits, oak, and a touch of oaky bitterness, culminating in a relatively short but memorable finish characterized by berries, wood, and spices.
Reviewers have praised this release for its depth and distinctiveness, comparing it favorably to the 2008 version while noting a subtle tweak in the nose. Additionally, its price point is considered excellent for the quality you receive. While some enthusiasts may prefer the more exotic notes of the Moscatel Cask variation or the subtle spice of the Chestnut Wood Cask, the S.B.S 2010 Mauritius French Oak & Port Cask 10yo stands out as a rum that marries the best of both worlds with rich flavors and a smooth finish.
This rum stands out due to its 10-year aging process in Port casks, which imparts a complex and multifaceted flavor profile characterized by notes of woody spice, cherry, and a smoky, roasted finish.
While the Moscatel Cask variation offers exotic notes of apricot, peaches, chocolate, vanilla, and coffee, and the Chestnut Wood Cask variation is noted for its subtlety and spice, the French Oak & Port Cask variation is prized for its rich, smooth, and balanced flavors.
This rum is produced by Grays Distillery, also known as "New Grove," and is part of their Experimental Cask Series.
S.B.S 2010 Mauritius French Oak & Port Cask 10yo is a remarkable rum that truly showcases the artistry of Grays Distillery.
