The S.B.S. Mauritius 2008 is a single cask bottling of rum from the renowned Grays Distillery on the beautiful island of Mauritius. This exquisite rum, aged for 11 years, was distilled in 2008 and finally bottled in 2019. With only 286 bottles produced, this limited edition rum is truly a collector’s item. Boasting an impressive ABV of 54.8% in a 700ml bottle, it promises an intense and rich experience for rum enthusiasts. This rum undergoes a unique port wine cask finish, imparting a delightful balance of flavors. The initial nose reveals an intense, rich, and woody aroma, followed by concentrated notes of ripe red and black fruits with smooth tannins. A subtle hint of toasted nuts and roasted flavors adds complexity to this already multi-layered spirit. With aeration, the rum releases a marvelous bouquet of floral, fruity, and vegetal scents, reminiscent of velvety rose petals covered in an elegant coulis of red fruits, dusted with a golden speckle of rich spices. Further maturation in the port cask for two years introduces bittersweet cocoa, dried fruits, and a generous dash of woody spice. On the palate, the rum reveals a lively acidity, balanced by a certain sweetness, culminating in a finish of concentrated fruit paste and a subtle touch of coppery oak. In summary, the S.B.S. Mauritius 2008 is a sophisticated and flamboyant rum with a complex and captivating taste profile that is sure to impress even the most discerning of rum connoisseurs.
