Grays Rum

Gray's is rum stripped to the essentials: no fancy name, no grand story, just a simple, personal name and a round, approachable taste. It's a rum for people after a solid everyday bottle rather than a collector's piece.

  • Bottle of Grays Distillery 11 Year Dràm Mòr Mauritius Single Cask Rum
    Item no.: 22220-6735skadetetiket

    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.

  • Lazy Dodo XO Chronicles Grays Mauritius Island Single Estate rum bottle
    Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0025

    Named after the flightless bird that went extinct on Mauritius in the 1600s, this rum draws its calm from a minimum of 13 years ageing at a single estate under 175 years of distilling tradition.

    Expert Description

    Lazy Dodo XO Chronicles Grays Mauritius Island Single Estate Rom is a Mauritius Rum, a single estate rum aged a minimum of 13 years, bottled at 40%.

    The rum comes from the Grays distillery, founded in 1848 in northern Mauritius, and carries the name Lazy Dodo as a tribute to the island's iconic, extinct bird, which could not fly and was therefore nicknamed "the lazy dodo". XO Chronicles is aged in French and American oak, including ex-cognac and ex-bourbon casks, where the best vintages are carefully selected and blended to achieve a balanced, well-structured whole.

    The result is a fresh, generous rum, where citrus notes meet a powerful, spiced finish.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Fresh with citrus and caramel.

    Palate

    Generous with orange, sugar and mint.

    Finish

    Powerful with lemongrass, brown sugar and orange zest.
