New Grove Old Tradition 8-Year

Enjoyed this one. A nice nose with a bit of hay, citrus and sugarcane. Sipping the rum I pick up slightly grassy, sweet peaches fading into a complex woody finish with light notes of nutmeg. Has a little bite, but with decent balance.

New grove is a distillery I have had quite a few tastings but never had anything spectacular .

This gets added to that list .. this has lovely coffee notes for ..

Nosing
Grass, oranges , lemons , oak , coffee

Tasting
The tasting reminds me heavily of cointreau mixed with an Agricole..

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.

Doften är ok lite fruktig, kryddig i smaken, torr i avslutet. Saknar fyllighet. Ok.

Woody, ashy, pop corn with light coating of caramel with fresh stone fruits aroma.
Taste slightly similar to what I got on nose. Smokey, ashy and sweet pineapple with a tiny bite (sour bite which usually found in unripe pineapple).
Soft tannin from aging which stick on to gum which I enjoy pretty much. Dry and long finishing with aroma of banana lingering.

Not bad but nothing special. Heavy in the wood flavouring. A bit of caramel but with a tinge of a sting. For first rum Ive tried from here, its pretty good ot that respect.

Vůně je sladká a jde cítit višeň.
Celkově má rum sladkou vůni i chuť.

Rhum sans sucre ajouté et trouvable pour 40-50€.
Son amertume est frappante, partagée entre le bois fumé et le fruit sec, en bouche, il attaque beaucoup, et fini peu à peu sur de la noix.
Beaucoup trop sec pour moi, il peut plaire à ceux qui veulent quelque chose qui "arrache" plus, je ne le trouve tout de même pas à la hauteur de son prix.
