Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Nice nose, you can literally smell the old bourbon barrel in the cellar of a tropical wooden colonial house, but nothing more. A disappointment on the palate. Flat, ordinary. Unfortunately, the highest of feelings that the local bar has to offer - also in terms of the glass. Available in the supermarket for around 35 EUR. Bar price? I'll be surprised ... Supplement: Bar price ended up being almost 5 EUR for 4 cl, which this rum is definitely not worth. But I found it today in a liquor store as a shelf warmer for about 14 EUR/bottle, which is more reasonable.

#5023 03.01.2025 Sampling a bit at home after a few days of work. Nose Light, faint wood, sweet, light caramel, spice, light orange, light banana. Palate Light dry, wood, light roasted, spice, faint rubber, light chocolate, dried fruit, faint mint, light orange. Finish Medium long, light spicy, wood, faint rubber, light chocolate, faint caramel, light mint. The empty glass has light tea, faint peach and light herbs.
Review by Timo Groeger
This rum is slightly fruity on the nose and palate. You can also taste that it has matured in a bourbon cask. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite suit my taste. I don't like this fruity taste that much.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Příjemná nevtíravá ovocně květinová vůně s prvky bylinek a eukalyptu. Chuť je na tom podobně. Celkem dost propsaný sud na to, že rum má jen 3 roky. Pro mě je to takový nenáročný pohodový rum. Tohle by mohlo zachutnat i začínajícím rumařům apod. Edit: jemná korekce hodnocení
Review by Air-one
Ce rhum New Grove Bourbon cask est un premier prix facile à trouver en GMS. Le nez, agréable, ďoux et caramélisé laisse apparaître des notes de Bourbon. La bouche est dominée parlé bois et les épices. La finale moyenne à courte est chaude, boisée et épicée.
Review by Gregor
Preis Leistungsverhältnis stimmt. Viel vanille und holzeinfluss. Erinnert Stark an mittelamerika. Aber ansonsten viel zu verwässert. Da gibs aber viel besseres aus der destille. Muss man nicht probiert haben.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Leidet nichts besonderes. Hatte von einem Mauritius Rum etwas ganz anderes erwartet. Schmeckt eigentlich wie ein üblicher lateinamerikanischer column-still Rum. Komisch. Vermutlich nicht im Agricole Stil

Recht Bourbon lastig

Lightly spiced water
Review by Cédric Meyers
Ça c'est du bon. Je pensais ne pas aimer vu que c'est une finition en fut ayant contenu du bourbon. On a cet légère odeur de bourbon au nez et légèrement en bouche mais c'est vraiment pas désagréable. Il a un côté eau de mélisse en bouche fort agréable, un petit côté végétal. La final est courte mais porte sur le chocolat, caramel, et un côté parfum, bonbon sue je ne sais décrire mais que j'aime bien
Review by Michal S
Napodruhé lepší. Stále nejde o nic mimořádného, ale v porovnání s Republicou je o kus vepředu.
Review by Winetrader
C’est un bon Rhum de l’Ile Maurice, qui se boit très bien sur place dans la chaleur et l’humidité. C’est cependant assez simple et mes amis mon habitué a des Rhums de « compétition ». Mais pour le prix c’est très raisonnable
Review by Pascal Gwada
Gourmand comme un mélasse, bon dans le genre car sans la complexité d'un agricole. Nez arôme d'orange, très doux, très bon Bouchebon, bois, caramel brûlé, alcool bien intégré. Longueur moyenne orange-vanille

Review by epicsune 🇸🇪
Sample no.7 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2022. Very fruity on the nose with a hint of bourbon. Taste is more bourbon than fruit at first but then the fruits and spices comes after a few seconds. A sharp alcoholic bite with a warm feeling on the palate that stays for a while.
