“Full of awe this rum came into the glass today ...Outstanding complex nose ... you could lie down in it ... Dark fruits, molasses, leather, coffee and chocolate characterize the first impression... All incredibly balanced. Insanity on the palate.... Lots of molasses, coffee and plum ... Alcohol very well integrated... Strong roasted flavors with caramel and some hazelnut. The rum easily needs 45 minutes to slowly open up, after which it gets better and better and better... 💥”

“The difference between the 74 and 75 vintages is always very clear. I would describe vintage 74 as somewhat woodier and dustier. A very round, full, dense and lush nose. Extremely sweet with dried plums, raisins and dates. Also caramel, treacle, brown sugar, cola and a nice Maggie-like spiciness. Wood is very dry and dusty, but not at all disturbing. Various Jägermeister herbs, tobacco and iodine round off the whole thing very nicely. My goodness, this is complex...... In the mouth, the rum has an almost syrupy consistency, it's thick like a broth that has been boiled down for days. Oily, sticky and heavy, the rum lies on the tongue and plays with sweet dried fruit, caramel, creme brulee, lots of spice and massive, stony wood notes. Everything seems incredibly round, palatable and the almost 60% carry the rum very powerfully but pleasantly over the lips. There is almost no bitterness, brilliant! The best Port Mourant from 1974, without a doubt”
