New Grove Oak Aged Mauritius Island Rum 70 cl 40%

From Mauritius' fertile volcanic soil comes this oak-matured rum, where the island's humid climate leaves a distinct mark on both colour and character.

Expert Description

New Grove Oak Aged Mauritius is a Mauritian Rum matured in oak casks, bottled at 40%.

The rum is produced at the New Grove distillery in Mauritius and matured exclusively in oak casks, giving it its characteristic golden colour ranging from straw to deep gold. The tropical climate promotes a rapid interaction between rum and wood, resulting in a rum where fresh fruit meets the wood's spicy tones and a hint of damp earth.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Elegant wood meets fresh fruit and tobacco, complemented by damp earth, vanilla, caramel and quince paste, plus exotic fruits such as banana and mango.

Palate

Pears, peaches, white grapes, pepper and nutmeg in a supple, well-balanced palate experience with controlled sweetness, sandalwood and spicy nutmeg.

Finish

Light and dry like a bite of an unripe apple, with warm wood and a hint of dried fruit.
