New Grove Old Tradition 8-Year

Very spicy and harsh on the tongue, wax on the nose. Definitelly not my kind of a rum.

8 years aged rum from Mauritius with no additives.
Aroma with dried fruit, honey and hints of tobbaco.
Flavour is rich with some refreshing tones in the middle. There are hints of tee, cinnamon and bit of smoke.
Long mild, sweet and woody aftertaste.

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

Vune je velmi zajimava neco jako fiky a horici ovocne drevo. Chut je podstatne drsnejsi, dub a kour. Dozvuk je dlouhy a prijemne hrejivy

Färgen mörk gul bärnsten kanske. Fruktig arom med inslag av russin helt klart. Kryddig smak med rökinslag men inte på värsta viset. Spritig eftersmak med inslag av anis/lakrits. Nja.

Nothing for me, I expect more from this rum. Average taste

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.

N- Bright and uplifted citrus peels, sour smokes with lots of orange with zings of pineapple and obvious vanilla coating. Aromatic wood with generous quality sweet fruits. Clean, pleasant and delicious, nice as it is, no nonsense with those hidden dark spice, caramel and so on. Nice as it is. (22/25)

P- The smokes carry on from the aroma, with first sip of ashy earths to balanced things out, followed by charming icing sugar coated strawberry, fat creamy vanilla come thru, as well whiff of unwelcome usual caramel lurking in the back. (21/25)

F- Medium, crisp and dry. Creme anglaise, minted aromatic compote of banana, sweet mango and pineapple breakfast fruit salad drizzle with honey? Perhaps~ (21/25)

Balanced:- Surely for those with sweet tooth, with timely dryness emerge for a clean finish. (21/25)

Weighted Rate:- 85pt

Very dry, nothintg special. A little bit of sweetness would suit me more.

Really good rum but overprised in ots category. Tasty.
