    How does this rum taste?

    Arcade Series #3 (V&B France) PM splits the crowd in the best possible way: a young Port Mourant with plenty of chocolate, coffee, and a punchy woody backbone. "Der Kaffeegericht/-geschmack zieht sich durch die ganze Verkostung" @Skyfly, while Jonathan Massard highlights its "gros boisé Demerara" and hints of dried fruit and licorice. Many call out its sweet, umami mouthfeel—think caramel, patisserie, and a touch of Demerara sugar—yet the oak stays balanced, never overwhelming. What stands out is the approachable strength: "Alcool pas trop présent" @Eric Frechin.

    As I write this review, I still have the taste of a latte with a hint of chocolate syrup in my mouth - a completely new experience. The coffee flavor runs through the entire tasting, accompanied by varying degrees of chocolate and wood notes. There is also some fruit and caramel on the palate. Conclusion: really delicious!

    Zusammen mit der reduzierten Franconian Tasting Gang verkostet. Meiner Meinung nach für das Alter eine solide Abfüllung. Verglichen mit dem schönen Etikett, kann er nicht ganz mithalten. Fazit für mich, eine untere 8.

    Un peu fier de pouvoir présenter cette cuvée aux côtés de l’équipe lors du Rhum fest, Paris ! Un profil très sympa, que le public a vraiment validé à 100 %, le chocolat et le café laisse la place à des notes herbacé et réglisse. En finale, je trouve. Atypique !

    Voilà un Port mourant que j adore ! Pas toujours eu des expériences folles avec Port mourant lorsque le boisé est humide/ pourri. Ici le boisé est sur un très agréable torréfié .on a beaucoup de rondeur et gourmandise chocolatée, la force du café, de la pâtisserie , des notes de réglisse. Alcool pas trop présent
