The Nectar of the Daily Drams 2010 Gray's Distillery Mauritius 12yo is a limited edition rum, with only 300 bottles available. This exclusive selection from the Antipodes collection was created by La Maison du Whisky for its 2022-2023 catalog. Bottled by the esteemed Belgian bottler "The Nectar," this rum represents a unique and rare opportunity to experience a single cask, single estate rum from the historic Grays Distillery in Mauritius.
Distilled in 2010 from molasses at Gray's Distillery, one of the oldest distilleries in Mauritius, this rum embodies the rich heritage of the island. The distillery, which has been in operation since 1932, is part of the Terra group, owned by the Harel family since 1838, and spans over seven thousand hectares of sugar cane in the north of the island. Grays Distillery is renowned for producing New Grove rum, among other distinguished rums.
This exceptional rum has been aged for 12 years in port wine casks, imparting it with intense fruit, floral, and chocolate flavors. These flavors cleverly showcase the unique terroir of the distillery, which is both clay and volcanic. On the palate, this rum is enchanting, with remarkable depth and smoothness, and a finish that integrates well with the typical Grays profile of mint and orange.
