NEW GROVE 2010 Single Cask #550 Antipodes

Heir to the first distillery in Mauritius, founded in 1838, the Grays distillery has been producing a rum called New Grove since 2005. Made from twelve varieties of sugar cane and fermented for thirty hours, this version is then matured in a single barrel of new Limousin oak. Impressively full-bodied, it is disconcertingly easy to drink, given its very high alcohol content. Floral and overflowing with exoticism, it reveals unctuous notes of cane sugar, which form the backbone of its aromatic and taste palette.
