How does this rum taste?
Complex, herbal Port Mourant powerhouse
If you like continental Port Mourant with Earl Grey, thyme and salty umami (e.g. older TRC or The Nectar DD bottlings), this is a drier, oakier take that rewards patience and a splash of water.
Beginners, those sensitive to 60% ABV, or drinkers who prefer sweet, fruity, easygoing rums without bitter tannins or strong herbal and licorice notes.

Quel délices 😍😍 Je lui ai trouvé bcp de ressemblance avec « the nectar DD 27y » Les typicitees de la distillerie sont présentes, avec le thym en plus. Belle intégration de l’alcool, bcp de douceur malgré le poivre et la note pimentée, qui sont très bien équilibré avec les fruits 😍😍
Good complexity here – it unfolds nicely over time. Even a few intruiging aromas that are hard to pin down.
A really nice PM profile here too. For me, however, it doesn't come close to the TRC, as the spicy notes also have too much of an upper hand here, which is at the expense of complexity. But that's complaining on a high level, all in all a very nice rum.
