Serge writes in a great review: "Nose: get out of here! Brand new Pirellis, two tons of rubber bands, and your sister's bicycle inner tubes. You see the idea...Mouth (neat): Ardbeg matured in a new scuba diving suit. Plus salt and lemon. The question is, do we enjoy this much rubber?" My answer a year ago: No, I found it undrinkable! In the meantime, the profile is a prime example of acquired taste. Compared to the 2005 PMs, it really is much dirtier: acetone, rubber, a hint of smoke - behind it the typical pome fruit and fresh sourdough bread. The aniseed note of the 2005s is missing. In the mouth, Serge hits the nail on the head: rubber, brine and a hint of lemon. My answer today: yes. Or to say it with Serge: "There's bad rubber and there's good rubber. This is good rubber."
Quite light and fruity compared to other/older PMs. Feels somewhat juvenile but in a positive way. Alcohol is well integrated. Good choice for the hotter summer nights.
Very fruity and not much else, so a bit 1-dimensional. No alkohol burn. Consistent in nose and mouth.
Yet another rum that needs to be rested properly before you nose and sample it or the ABV is going to hit you. The nose is lightly woody with pears, vanilla and varnish, the chocolate note is very faint but more clear in the empty glass after a while. The palate is warm and oily with pear, vanilla, wood and chocolate. The finish is long and warm with smoky wood, dried fruit and light vanilla.
