New Grove Double Cask Merisier was first matured in French oak for 7 years before finishing its ageing period in a Merisier cask for a further year. This rum offers very fresh aromas thanks to this original finish.
Laurent's tasting note
Its colour is a brilliant orange-amber.
On the nose, it is quite greedy with aromas of apricot, almond and cooked caramel. Then comes a second wave, which brings more complexity: pepper, as well as floral and mentholated notes. Interesting!
On the palate, it is more woody than one would expect; the rum even tends to dry out the palate a little. There are apricot and pepper notes, while vanilla and a pastry note appear. The alcohol, moreover, is well dosed.
The finish is long. The wood persists in its intensity and brings a tannic (and very slightly bitter) sensation. In a second phase, roasted, vanilla and tobacco aromas dominate.
