What is Traditional Rum
Generally, this term refers to rum made from molasses (the syrup remaining after sugar production), as opposed to agricole rum made from sugarcane juice. Rum derived from molasses tends to have a rich body and sweetness characteristic of its origin, with thick flavors from barrel aging, representing a style close to the classic image of rum. "New Grove Inception 21 Years Old Vintage 2004" is also crafted using this traditional-type distillate.
About New Grove
New Grove is an industrial (traditional) rum produced on Mauritius Island in the Indian Ocean. Mauritius Island is also known as the closest island to paradise, and writer Mark Twain famously said, "God created Mauritius, and then imitated it to create heaven." Thanks to the high angel's share characteristic of the tropical climate, the rum develops a concentrated and thick body despite its aging period, which has earned it high acclaim.
