Levy Lane Port Mourant Tamosi Karaya PM

"Beautiful complexity, tart spicy and woody notes meet licorice, green herbs, black tea and subtle citrus aromas with some sweetness in the background. Continental aged PM at a high level."

"09.02.2024 Nordlichter treffen. Retasting and I still like this profile. Very nice and well rounded. --------------------- This is a bottling with a flavour profile slightly different from the normal Port Mourant profile and that in a good way."

"Today three Uitvlugt from 1997 24yr (RX11475), 1998 22yr (RX8122) and 1999 14yr (RX6548) parallel in the glass. In contrast to its competitors, the Duchess has a nice dark color, while the others are very pale. In terms of taste, the Tamosi is just ahead of the Duchess. Unfortunately, the Kill Devil cannot quite keep up with its competitors."

"This is great cinema. The maturity of this Port Mourant is on point. In the nose perfectly integrated into the wood Earl Grey, then a Christmas profile with ripe fruit, ginger, cinnamon and cloves. The then prominent anise on the palate I do not yet find in the nose.In the mouth a fantastic balance. A sweet tickle on the tip of the tongue, then Earl Grey again and the Christmas notes from the nose. Plus mint and then the fruits hit, mainly citrus but also some intense tropical fruit like pineapple.The finish is long, smooth and harmonious and brings out the familiar flavors again. A fantastic rum, just lacks some depth and a few rough edges. So far my best continental matured PM. Unfortunately, my sample is already empty 😭"

"One of the best Port Mourant I have ever tasted. It is typical of Port Mourant but without bitter wood and with a very floral touch in the mouth. It's surprising but really great!"

"Fruity on the nose, especially green apple, but also beautifully spicy. Great natural sweetness in the mouth followed by herbs and tea. Beautifully complex with a great spicy finish. Beautiful Port Mourant profile. Tip: Leave longer in the glass 20-30 min"

"Recht knackiger PM. Alkohol könnte etwas besser integriert sein, Aromatisch treffen hier Kräuter wie Salbei und Thymian auf Lakritze und Muskatnuss, dazu dezent salzig und holzig mit einer leichten frischen Zitrusnote im Abgang. Mir persönlich etwas zu heftig aber trotzdem lecker!"

"Banana and black tea on the nose. Very nice and round on the palate. Banana and black tea here too, plus a little mint. With a little time and a few drops of water, it opens up a little more. A great Port Mourant!"

"This is probably one of the best rums I ever tasted. Complex. Very layered. But sort of light in body too. The alcohol strength is not nearly as pungents as you would expect at 61%+. Actually I've had tasting where we put this earlier in the line up <55% because it's so well balanced. Beautiful rum. Easily worth its 180€ pricetag. Tamosi is on top of the game."

"Klasse PM, facettenreich, spannend, komplex. Eine frische Würze und Fruchtigkeit in Kombination mit schönen tiefen Holznoten, einfach wunderbar."

"The first sip is screaming PORT MOURANT all over! It wonderfully hits you with its aniseed and liquorice aromas, paired with a touch of spices and a hint of mint (on my nose/palate, it wasn’t as strong as menthol). Even if it is a 22y old rum, I really do not pick as much wood or barrel-related flavors as I would expected, which I find it good! All in all, a great example of what the truly missed Uitvlugt distillery was capable of."

"The distinct licorice note you have to like, joined by orange which makes the rum almost taste like a "mild" Cointreau. A pleasant, warm finish in the taste, the alcohol comes but a little too clearly to the fore."

"Dense complex aroma. Freshness and a great mouthfeel. Fun to drink."

"Love the fruit in this PM. Wish I had more than a sample..."

"Nose is very sweet like young pm fruity and spicy Mouth is a little strong but after a few sec I blows up in citrus and caramel like a funky version of typical old PM The palate is not so complex "
