    Looking at the set of Bristol‘s 99 PM bottlings from 11y to 23y: On the nose all bottlings come with a good intensity despite the reduced ABV. All are transporting classic PM notes, showcasing the profile at different points in time. Particularly the 11y was a positive surprise compared to some 2010ish younger continental PMs. The sweetspot for me comes with the 15y - display a nice balance of cask notes (including dried fruits) and some lifeliness. 16y comes with a noticeable smokey notes. At 23y both bottlings show a bit too much wood on the nose, somewhat closing the profile up instead of enhancing it significantly. On the palate all six bottlings show a decent amount of sweetness (candied herbs) even up to the 23y bottlings. For the latter two, wood and herbal notes clearly take over, taking the lifeliness of the younger bottlings. Those are nice and mature, but again I‘m feeling the sweetspot at the 15y mark here. The 15y adds dried fruits versus the 16y delivering some smoke - similar to the nose. The low ABV isn’t what I would have wished for. However, intensity is decent - only the finish seems to lose quite a bit. Cheers to Johannes for curating this set :)

    Bristol Port Mourant 99 vertical, this one has a really nice apple on the palate and a bit more pronounced wood. Again this is a good choice for 46% some leather like a really nice panama rum. I like this a lot

    Bristol PM Crosstasting #2: seinem Vorgänger sehr ähnlich, im Gaumen jedoch intensivere dunkle Noten von Holz, Schokolade und Leder. In der Nase meine ich etwas Honig und Lack zu entdecken. Abgang sehr fruchtig

    Initially with strikingly fresh fruit aromas on the nose alongside the classic PM notes. The palate is also tart and fruity, the wood is evident, along with the typical PM spice aromas of pepper, aniseed, allspice and licorice. Despite the reduced alcohol, the rum is powerful, which is somewhat at the expense of balance. Another appealing PM from 1999.
