"Very unusual fresh almost green uitvlugt. Great is especially the note of fresh lemon peel. All in all dominates for me but times again the chewed and slightly coked pencil with which I do not warm. Of the fruit notes described here I perceive nothing ... Maximum something lavender medicinal tea but that's it then also😄"

"#4082 I'd say the price tag matches what you get with this release. A really nicely balanced Demerara with light fruits and smoky wood notes. The palate is lightly dry and oily and I like the light floral note in the profile. The empty glass is really nice and I can pick up some licorice and black tea notes."

"Surprisingly balanced Port Mourant, in direct comparison to other continental aged PM release already downright mild. Pleasant wood aromas meet herbs and kitchen spices and subtle fruit sweetness. Exciting PM vintage."

"Starts off strong, beautiful, expressive PM on the nose and initially on the palate, but then unfortunately diminishes quite a bit as the glass sits longer, in other words: the rum seems increasingly woody and dry in an unpleasant sense, unexpectedly biting instead of "mellow with age". And this despite having opened the bottle a long time ago. I almost had trouble emptying the glass. No, unfortunately I wasn't completely convinced. Not my favorite marque either, but I know much more harmonious PMs."
