How does this rum taste?
Most love its intense PM profile: dark wood, licorice, tea and citrus with great nose and value. Critics find it too bitter, herbal, sharp or wood-heavy. Consensus: serious, characterful Demerara.
If you already enjoy PM-heavy Demeraras, this is a darker, drier, tea-and-licorice take that shines with time—great if you want serious Port Mourant without any added sugar.
Beginners, sweetness-seekers, and anyone sensitive to bitterness, strong herbal notes, firm oak or higher ABV dry rums without added sugar.

A port mourant with a less pronounced bitter part than its 1999 brother but still retains all its oily and fatty part that distinguishes them! A great intensity and a very good fruity and citrus part that always tempts you to take another sip!
The nose has better balance than the 1999 version of this great rum. All in all a very well balanced edition well worth the price tag.
The nose is greedy and sweet. The palate is heavy, dusty and coppery, with citrus fruits melted into precious wood.
What a bomb 🤤😎 This is my all time favorite PM
