The New Grove Savoir Faire Ville Bague is a 16-year-old single estate rum hailing from the Grays Distillery in Mauritius, a picturesque island nation in the Indian Ocean known for its rich history of sugarcane cultivation and rum production. This limited edition rum, with only 1989 bottles released, is crafted from molasses sourced from estate-grown cane and is named after the original estate of the Harel family, founders of the New Grove brand. Distilled in 2004, this luxurious rum has been aged for 16 years in French Limousin oak barrels, a mix of new and previously cognac-filled casks. The Ville Bague vintage 2004 pays homage to the Domaine de La Villebague, the first sugar estate established on the island in 1740. The New Grove Savoir Faire Ville Bague boasts a harmonious blend of remarkable flavors and enticing aromas. Its captivating bouquet reveals oak and cherry notes with a subtle hint of Armagnac. On the palate, you'll experience a prominent woody character, mingling gloriously with flavors of dried fruit, cocoa, and tannins enhanced by an unmistakable Armagnac touch. Highly aromatic and complex, this rum features an intense fruit note, a hint of oak, and a touch of spices and tobacco. As it opens up, it evolves into a more balanced and fruity profile, with a hint of sweetness and a lingering warm, spicy finish. This rum is a true testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the Grays Distillery and is sure to be cherished by rum connoisseurs worldwide.
