    How does this rum taste?

    Vibrant, creamy Port Mourant benchmark
    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy structured Demeraras like other 1997 Port Mourants, this Banks bottling keeps the style’s salty-honeyed, herbal edge but in a fresher, creamier and very well-balanced form.

    Not really suitable for

    Those sensitive to high ABV, seeking very intense, long-finish sippers or expecting an overtly fruity, sweet profile.

    Aroma

    Honey Lime Pineapple Fresh

    Taste

    Salty Citrus Marzipan Creamy

    Fresh, citrus fruits, anchovies, honey on the nose. Very cool mix! An inviting creaminess on the palate and the citrus fruits harmonize with an interesting saltiness. Excellent release from Bank's!

    wunderbare Abfüllung! Speziell die florale Note gefällt mir sehr!

    14.08.2015 A nice evening out with friends from Copenhagen and Malmö. Notes Light in colour. Nose Wood, light roasted, workshop, citrus, light smoke, herbs, light anise. Palate Oily, wood, light smoke, herbs, salty, light leather, licorice, medium dry. Finish Medium to long, wood, smooth, oily, licorice, raisin.

    Honigsüße, leicht cremiges Mundgefühl, Zitrusfrüchte, etwas salzig, recht wenig Holznoten. Im Abgang leicht medizinisch und paar Kräuternoten. Der Alkohol ist ausgezeichnet integriert. Schöne, frische Abfüllung.
