“I don't know what's wrong with me today, but this rum doesn't knock my socks off either. I find it somehow ordinary, although I have to admit that the alcohol is very, very well integrated. After a longer period of standing, the rum becomes more accessible and I increasingly taste something like sweet cardboard. The subjectively perceived improvement after breathing for a long time just manages to get the rum over the 80-point mark. I'll have to taste it again. But I certainly don't need a whole bottle.”

“Mkay…. It starts with a phenmenal nose 😎 I would say typical for a PM 😉Once the alcoholic notes are gone, delicious Thyme, herbal, pencil shavings come through paired with various notes from the barrel. On the palate it’s more balanced and the alcohol is integrated very well. The finish is medium long with long lasting caramel-honey note.”

“A beautifully diverse continental Port Mourant with lovely ripeness, tea, herbs (thyme), vanilla, anise/licorice, wood, dried fruit, a slightly buttery, thick nose and lots of salt and umami on the palate. I like the nose a little better.”
