"Successful selection - typical profile for continental aged rums from the Single Wooden Pot Still of Port Mourant. At the beginning peanut, toast, plus fresh with citrus notes and yellow fruits. The palate adds an elegant sweetness that aromatically reminds me of dried fruit, syrup and a hint of marzipan. In addition, the PM-typical wood influences with anise - all in all, a coherent bottling, which nicely shows the potential of long aging time for the continental aged PMs." - 8.5/10

"Not too bad but I would have loved more bang for your buck. Fruit and spices on a base of light roasted wood. I like the marzipan at the end of the palate." - 8.5/10
