Grays New Grove Old Tradition 10
Peach, mango and passion fruit up front, wrapped in a cool menthol-eucalyptus streak that several tasters compared to fruity cough syrup — with light wood, spice and burnt sugar behind it. The recurring gripe is the body: at 40% it reads thin and watery to many, so the nose promises more than the palate keeps. Still, a fresh, characterful 10-year from Mauritius that fans of the New Grove profile enjoy.

How does Grays New Grove Old Tradition 10 taste?
Aggregated from 93 community reviews.
Fresh, fruity, menthol — but thin at 40% Loved for its bright tropical fruit and menthol freshness, but plenty of members find it thin and watery — a "if only this was 50%" bottle that shines more on the nose than the palate.

Review by Kari Kovalainen
A beatifully delicious rum with a good price. I god a very slight menthol oil note on the palette which was very nice and interesting

Spatny...fakt moc naredena voda
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
I didn't expect liking it this much. Sort of reminds me of a Bellevue 1998, again very Agricoly. Fresh but plenty of spices. Warm and round. A bit like coughing syrop (thyme and eucalyptus). That last one hits harder in taste than in the nose. Add some peaches (ripe flat ones) and a bit of kiwi to the mix. Really pleasant. If only this was 50% instead of 40%. Bang For Your Buck!!!

Review by TheJackDrop
Wow ! Le petit New Grove a 50€ en mode TDL 2000. J’adore ! Ça manque un poil de longueur et d’intensité mais les fruits sont la, superbe menthol, des épices, du bois. C’est vraiment un must have et je suis sûr d’en reprendre une fois la bouteille vide. Pas cher et ultra efficace !
Review by cigares
A rum tasted at Rhum Fest in 2024. A nose of citrus peel, unripe fruit and bitterness. A slightly monolithic palate of citrus fruits. The finish develops a slight acidity. An interesting rum, but not exciting either.
Review by Travellers
Un arôme de fruit de la passion tirant vers la mangue en fin de bouche

Review by Chrischi78
Mit guten Freunden nach längerer Zeit mal wieder verkostet. Typisches New-Grove Profil, welches ich sehr mag, jedoch manche auch als störend empfinde. Nicht besonders anspruchsvoll zum trinken, ein guter Rum für den Alltag
Review by passlemix
Au nez pomme, pruneau, un peu de solvant dans le style WP, un côté liquoreux aussi sans doute l'influence de la partie viellie en fût de cognac de l'assemblage. En bouche un peu de bois, toujours ce côté fruité frais avec des notes de pomme anisée et un côté mentholé qui reste en final. Un rhum lèger mais avec une identité bien marquée. Je l'aime beaucoup. Beaucoup d'originalité et je parle même pas du prix ... 🥳
Review by Serge
Found in a small store in the country for 39 euros. For this it is a super PLV. Could use a little more power and does not come to the last CDI of Perola ran, but for the money really neat. Fruit and caramel wrapped in menthol, eucalyptus and leather. Like a fruity cooling spray. That's what I like about the Grays in general and here's a small piece of it at a very reasonable price
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
super fruchtig & würzig wie geiler Pfirsich Eistee! Mit mehr Alkohol könnte dieser noch deutlich mehr Aromen Freisetzen, durch die Verdünnung wirkt er leider etwas dünn ist aber dennoch eine wahre Aromenbombe und ein schöner Einstiegs Mauritius Rum! Sehr lecker und top PLV.
Review by Johannes
Already typical New Grove with orange/mint notes, but unfortunately very thin and therefore flat.
Review by Air-one
Un rhum clairement dominé par les notes fraîches, épicées et une belle rondeur, du nez à la finale. Le nez est flatteur, rond et frais. En bouche, le boisé épicé est très fin. La finale, moyenne laisse une impression de fraîcheur.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un rhum de l’Île Maurice, avec un nez surprenant et agréable sur la fraîcheur de l’eucalyptus et du menthol, les fruits exotiques, rouges et secs ainsi qu’une touche d’épices, de caramel et de sucre brûlé. C’est très doux, mais assez avenant. L’attaque en bouche est plus mince, on ressent la dilution avec un côté aqueux qui ternit les saveurs. Eucalyptus, pêches, fruits secs et exotiques, caramel, bois et épices forment le corps en bouche, malheureusement assez fade. La finale, sur la vanillle, le boisé rôti, les épices, la pêche et les notes agricoles, est sommaire et de longueur convenable. Un rhum qui partait avec un beau potentiel olfactif, mais qui ne suit pas en bouche hélas.
Review by Kay Meertens
Blood orange, Tonka beans and a little sauerkraut.
Review by zabo
I find it very thin, possibly as an easy mixer but nothing more. For me, it's one of the most disappointing rums from Mauritius that I've had in my glass so far. We tested various rums from Mauritius that Gunnar, a big thank you for that, split as a set.
