New Grove Savoir Faire Beau Plan Vintage 2007 Mauritius Rum / 45% / 0.7l

The first sugar mill in Mauritius was opened in 1740 on the Domaine de La Villebague estate.

Two years later, in 1742, the first rum distillery was opened here. In 1838, Grays Inc. Ltd. was founded, which has been involved in sugar cane plantations and the production of top-quality rum from its own plantations ever since. The company produces around 7 million liters of pure alcohol per year. The New Grove rum brand, introduced to the market in 2003, is a brand of spirits produced from start to finish on the premises of one estate – from growing sugar cane through fermentation, distillation, maturation, to bottling. The symbol of New Grove rums is the leaf of the Lamaria glabra, an endemic palm tree that occurs only in Mauritius, once used to produce another traditional spirit, the local arrack, considered the ancestor of classic rum.

Savoir Faire is a series of vintage rums from single barrels. Their initial selection begins in the third year of maturation. They are bottled after reaching their optimal age, without any additives (sugar, coloring), without filtering, without dilution (between 45% and 65%). The New Grove Savoir Faire Beau Plan offered here is a vintage rum, distilled in 2007. It was created on the basis of molasses and distilled in column stills. It matured for 13 years in a French Limousin oak barrel, bottled in 2020 in a limited series of 1988 individually numbered bottles.
