Bristol Uitvlugt (Port Mourant) Port Morant Demerara Rum 1990

A rum tasted in a restaurant, the bottle well started. A superb nose, like a clubhouse with old varnished wood, a light smokiness coming from the fireplace, dried fruits on the counter. Big disappointment on the palate, which doesn't live up to its olfactory promises. Diluted but with a beautiful bitterness, a surprising vegetal side. The finish is short but elegant. The empty glass reveals the lost aromas with a lovely fruity woodiness.

Beautiful dry woodiness. Great leather, cocoa nose. Some smoke and dried fruit on the palate. Gone very quickly on the finish due to the low %%. For less money this would be a great sipper. On the other hand, it will soon be a rum from other times, when this was the absolute top class.

Time for a sample! Thanks to Kasper! On the nose, fruit that reminds me of a tawny port followed by wood and tobacco notes. In the mouth, a slight sweetness at first, which is replaced by bitter wood notes. Clove, pepper, herbs, somewhat medicinal. At the end, the woody notes remain. It's a shame that so little remains, probably because of the comparatively low alcohol content Would certainly be a nice sipper, but at this price, I can think of too many alternatives.

Hard to say of the price matches the quality. I think that it lacks a bit maybe because of the relative low ABV. A fruity rum with a ice and spicy and oily palate. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass is really nice and I can pick up chocolate and light caramel.

Nice nose but too reduced in the mouth, a little medicinal and grass but sadly a bit watery from the reduction.

Very dry, burnt, herbal, bitter and woody. Dark red fruits and slightly salty Solid!

Nose: totally round. Deep, pleasant spice, leathery sweet. Blackberry, cherry and raisin. Reminiscent of a brandy and port. Palate: again that full spicy-woody-dark fruity aroma. There's cherry and blackberry and anise again. This time also something like creme brulet. And a light herbal note.Finish: herbs, tea, spice, sweet, aniseSo great, bottled at more than 46% it would be a blast!

Has kept a certain power despite the reduction. Remains quite marked despite the dilution. Pleasant tasting.

Nose: Many aromas, buttery and vanilla at the beginning. In the background fermented fruit and coffee, also wood as well as tobacco. Palate: Despite the only 46% partly sharp. Medicinal and herbal as well as bitter. In addition, an intense meaty note that surprises. The fruity notes are clearly confined to cherries. Finish: salty and intense cocoaConsummation: the long time in the cherry wood barrels leaves clear traces in the taste. Both the cherry and cocoa notes are distinct. In sum, however, not really round.
