Grima Rum | Rhodeus

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.

Rhodeus is a pure sugarcane juice rum offering remarkable freshness and lightness, despite its 45.1% alcohol content. The palate is vegetal, with mint notes that give way to fresh fruit flavors. Its maturation in old Sauvignon Gris barrels gives it delicate floral notes and a sweet honey aroma, bringing gourmet and vinous touches to the finish, contrasting perfectly with the exuberant freshness of the first notes.

Rhodeus is best enjoyed at room temperature to fully appreciate its rich aromas. It will perfectly accompany your aperitifs or your desserts made with candied fruit or chocolate.
