    How does this rum taste?

    Reviewers keep coming back to its punchy herbal and spicy character, with standout flavors like green pepper, anise, and barrel toast showing through. Surprisingly fresh herbal notes mix with wood and caramel, and some even mention pear and apricot—a twist for a Port Mourant. Many sip it neat to explore its complexity. Worth buying if you want a bold, limited Guyana rum with plenty of character and heat.

    Not my cup of tea at all. Somehow intrusive, less on the nose than on the palate. I can't drink it, it goes down the sink. I'm sorry.

    Quite a positive surprise. On the nose the expected heavy notes but then also a fresh note of herbs? green bell pepper??. On the palate then a well integrated alcohol with the same changing flavors of coffee, wood and toasted barrel and a fresh anise/herbs/menthol note (am still on green peppers too). finish like my grandma's peppernuts, with anise and nutmeg.

    Naja, dieser Port Mourant bringt die grundlegenden Eigenschaften mit …. Und das war es dann aber auch. Schade drum, ich vermute, etwas mehr Zeit im Fass hätte ihm gut getan. Aber wer weiß dass schon!!

    com‘on guys, not that bad. It has a nice and quite complex nose, not a typical PM or demerara, but a nice flavor of yello fruits, pear 🍐and abricot Obstler. Easy sipper on the palate with a nice amaretto touch. Medium finish.
