Maison Mounicq presents a rum from the Savanna Distillery in Réunion Island, aged in Bourbon barrels and then refined in a former Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc barrel. This French spirit subtly combines Réunion Island terroir and Gironde influence. Mobula is 47.6% ABV but remains smooth and balanced. It offers a delicious nose of nuts, honey, and milk chocolate. On the palate, the fresh attack evolves into notes of mango, citrus, and a mineral, slightly spicy finish. Enjoy neat. Perfect pairing with a Creole dish like sausage rougail.

History
Grima was originally a port on the Garonne River located in Cadaujac, the birthplace of Maison Mounicq. It once served as a river stopover for Graves wines bound for Bordeaux. With its winemaking and naval past, the Gironde capital has contributed greatly to the spread of rum in the metropolis for centuries. Its history greatly inspired the Nadé brothers in the development of their rum: thus was born Grima. Embark on a journey to exotic destinations and let yourself be carried away by these tastings.
Named in homage to the emblematic fish of Reunion Island, the Manta Ray, in Latin Mobula , this vintage highlights a collaboration between Bordeaux and Reunion Island terroir!
