RA Guyana Rum MPM 2008
Most enjoy the classic dry Port Mourant profile with pencil shavings and anise. Critics find it thin, bitter and a bit young. Consensus: decent, characterful PM, not the top of the style.
Fans of dry, woody Demerara and Port Mourant rums who enjoy pencil shavings, anise and herbal spice more than sweetness, and want a characterful, affordable single cask at 56.5%.

How does this rum taste?
Dry, woody Port Mourant for explorers
If you already like dry Port Mourant profiles, this adds the expected wood and pencil notes at fair value—but if you prefer fruity, plush rums, it’ll feel too bitter and austere.
Those sensitive to bitterness or high ABV, anyone looking for fruity, sweet or creamy rums, and drinkers expecting a polished, top‑tier Port Mourant experience.
So I can't find the connection to the topic of fire and the whisky casks for myself. But that doesn't matter, or maybe it's even better that way. I like it very much. And even more so for the price. If you like this style of rum and the rum you tested is also this rum.

Auto-translatedNice young PM. Yellow fruits and a surprising sweetness. Still a bit stingy on the palate.
In der Nase ein sehr untypischer PM. Im Geschmack dann aber doch recht deutlich. Gefällt mir gut, ist aber irgendwie etwas ungestüm, auch wenn er ja auch schon gar kein junger Rum mehr ist. Unter den vielen PMs am Markt fällt er etwas zurück.
Schönes Port Mourant-Profil, das aber irgendwie auch melassige Versailles-Bleistiftnoten enthält. Dadurch nicht ganz so kräutrig-würzig, wie ein ‚ normaler‘ PM.
