The New Grove 2007 Grays Mauritius La Confrerie du Rhum Single Cask 114-17 is a distinctive 10-year-old rum, aged to perfection since 2007 and bottled in 2017. With an ABV of 50% and a volume of 700ml, this unique single-cask bottling boasts a limited edition of just 492 bottles, making it a coveted addition for any rum aficionado. Crafted at the renowned Grays Distillery in Mauritius, New Grove is celebrated for its exceptional quality and distinctive character. The nose presents a harmonious bouquet of floral notes, reminiscent of a spring garden, intertwined with fruity aromas of mango, quince, and acidic red fruits. Subtle coppery and metallic undertones from the distillery’s boiler are also present. Upon aeration, the rum reveals its smoky profile, merging seamlessly with fruit pastes such as raspberry, blackberry, or quince. On the palate, this rum is wonderfully balanced. Initial impressions of metallic and bituminous smoke quickly give way to concentrated honey and dark fruit juices. The toasted exotic wood imparts rich tannins, while flavors of caramel, tobacco, and vanilla provide a complex, mellow structure. The appearance is described as shiny with an amber color and oily tears that cling to the glass. This exceptional rum is the result of a meticulous pre-selection of 12 different casks, handpicked by three spirits experts. It stands as a testament to the artistry and dedication of the cellar master, and it’s a prized bottle for any serious rum collection.
