A rare agricole rum from Mauritius, sourced by Scottish bottler Dràm Mòr - this particular bottle has a damaged neck foil, but the contents are unaffected.
Expert description
Grays Distillery 11 Year is a Single Cask Rum from Mauritius, bottled by Dràm Mòr at 51%.
Dràm Mòr, the Scottish independent bottler founded by Kenny and Viktorija Macdonald, sought out and purchased a cask from Grays rum distillery on Mauritius, from which only 444 bottles have been drawn. The nose is sharp and vegetal with a hint of barnyard and a prominent ester note - typical of the pure agricole style, where the rum is distilled from fresh cane juice rather than molasses.
This particular bottle has a damaged neck foil, which does not affect the rum's contents or quality but is the reason it is sold separately. The palate offers a clean agricole profile with tropical fruit, where sharpness and sweetness balance against a lingering dryness.

Did you know?
Mauritius is one of the lesser-known rum origins, but the island's agricole tradition of distilling from fresh cane juice gives a style closer to French rhum agricole than classic Caribbean rum.
