New Grove Bourbon Cask

I was curious about this new aged rum they sold in my local supermarket.
Because I hadn't tasted a rum from Mauritius yet, I thought New Groove would be the ideal starter for less than €30.
Well, was I wrong..
The rum was quite clear for an aged brown rum and there were no significant hints when I smelled it..
The description says it's aged on bourbon casks and that it has notes of vanilla and caramel but I didn't taste anything at all..

After mixing it with cola, which is a shame, it tastes a little bit better.

Since there weren't any reviews yet, I hope my review will prevent others of making the same mistake I made.
Don't judge a rum by it's fancy container or it's brand awareness.

Bright yellow color. Delicate citrus aroma. Dry flavor.

Seduced by a promotion in the store and the chance to experience a new rum, I purchased this New Grove rum.
The aroma features fruity notes, citrus and peach. You can also find vanilla or almonds flavour.
The taste is sweet at first, then a little oaky, a little vanilla.
Finish is short and alcoholic, quite harsh. I think it can easily work its way into fruit mixers.

niby czuc owoce brzoskiwninke ale dla mnie miałki jakis 2 raz go juz nie kupie

It s no sugar added, unadultered traditional rum, but really not much to say, tried it at the sugar museum ...

Soft, slightly raisiny scent. No alcohol aroma. Very little sweetness with a very long warming finish. Overall a dry rum. In the taste, I recognize just a little raisins and maybe a pinch of spices.

Elegant rum with a dry flavour experience good in the mouth. Taste intence

Aroma of this rum is very strange. It smells like mint or mouth wash. I don't know what to say about taste, because I didn't catch anything. Alcohol aroma is very light and I can recognize just a little bit of wooden tones, but thats all. Definitelly can't recommend this rum, bucause it didn't taste like rum.

Lascia un gusto di menta in bocca per il quale non impazzisco.

Vanilla aroma, caramel and very quick touch of wood, almost absent finish
