The New Grove Double Cask Merisier Finish 8yo is a remarkable rum hailing from the enchanting island of Mauritius. This unique rum has been carefully crafted by aging initially in French oak casks before being finished for a year in brand new French Merisier (cherry wood) casks. The result is a delightful symphony of sweet cherry notes that permeate throughout its profile. With an ABV of 47% and a bottle size of 700ml, this 8-year-old rum is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of New Grove. On the nose, it captivates with aromas of gooseberries, caramel, and a heady cherry sweetness. As you take a sip, your palate is greeted with delicate apricot flavors, enveloped by rich vanilla, toffee, and the signature cherry note. The finish is complex, featuring black pepper, tobacco, fresh barrel, and a hint of honey. While some may find it to carry an overly floral and perfumed note, others appreciate its sweetness and the presence of green and floral notes, along with a touch of roasted wood influence.
