New Grove Old Tradition 8-Year

For me very dry and with alcoholic taste, reminds me more destilats but in the end not so bad

Smell is much better than taste, it is very very smoky, not my choice.

A bit to sharp for my taste but the fruit tastes on the middel was a pleasant surprise to the sharp start. Very slight smell. Definitely interesting.

Smell fruity and smokey. Taste pleasant fruity full with berries. Fresh but a bit Smokey. It doesn’t bite too much and I like the light aftertaste. From “24 rums collection” with S.

Lukten er litt ubestemmelig men med et hint av sitrus. I smaken kan den umiddelbart kjennes noe stram, men den forsvinner overraskende fort. Litt ettersmak av krydder på tunga.

Aroma is nice and fruity. Taste is sweet with peach and exotic fruit tones. but no added sugar. Aftertaste is not long but pleasant.

Další kúsok z rumového kalendára. Pekná medeno zlatá farba, v pohári sa tento 8 ročný rum z Maurícia vyznačuje príjemnou tradičnou rumovou arómou prevažne po sladkej vanilke a orieškoch. Podľa môjho názoru má výrazný zrecí potenciál. Chuť zaostáva za aromatickým vnemom. Ako 8 ročný rum - taký priemer, ale inak nič extra. Starší New Grove bude isto vyspelejší hlavne v chuti.

Reminds on medicine, bit smoke and herbs, harsh alcohol, so not according to my taste.

J ai goûté ce rhum dans un calendrier de Noël. Je débute dans la dégustation de rhum.

Schönes Bernstein im Glas.
In der Nase der Duft von einem Karamell Bonbon das auf Eichenholz klebt und langsam an der Sonne zerläuft. Auch die Mauritius typischen medizinal-pflanzlichen Düfte sind präsent.
In Gaumen eher etwas sperrig und wild im positivem Sinn. Holz, Harz, Mango, Pflaume buhlen um die Gunst der Geschmacksknospen.
Im Abgang lang anhaltend, Kräuter und Gewürze mit einer Priese Salz.
Ein "purer" Rum mit Ecken und Kanten für Entdecker und Liebhaber dieser Machart . Leider nichts für Süss-Rum Geniesser. 7+

Beautiful amber in a glass.
In the nose the scent of a caramel candy that sticks to oak wood and slowly melts in the sun. Also the Mauritius typical medicinal herbal scents are present.
In the palate rather bulky and wild in a positive sense. Wood, resin, mango, plum vie for the favour of the taste buds.
Long finish, herbs and spices with a pinch of salt.
A "pure" rum with corners and edges for discoverers and lovers of this style. Unfortunately nothing for sweet rum connoisseurs. 7+
