Review by Zorman 🇩🇰
Thick and oily, with an almost Jamaica style funk added to the anise. Alcohol is well integrated. Finish ends on a sweet note. Very reasonably priced. Could use a bit more ooompf to the buttom.
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
A beautiful continental aged Guyana nose more sweet than salty: anise or rather fennel tea, very ripe mirabelle, oak (more like a dusty closet than a toasted barrel), esters bring some sweet yeast pastry.In the mouth the rum becomes saltier and the wood becomes more present without being overbearing: Anise, olives, iodine. To the ripe yellow fruit comes something unripe, tart with a hint of chlorophyll.The finish is wonderfully long and creamy: salty syrup and again overripe slightly vanilla mirabelle.A wonderful rum. Unfortunately, I did not buy a bottle on Black Friday 😢Hab him together with the rum Mercenary 2005 tasted. The RDL is for me the clear winner.Irre is the difference to the 2008 PM of Kill Devil which pulls the here soft, volatile deep into the dirt!

Review by mto75
the PM comes across quite funky, but markers of olive, mirabelle, grape, anise and oak barrel are also present. The palate pleases with peppery spice (nutmeg), wood and rock candy. A round, if not too long finish follows.
Review by RumTaTa
Second tasting and recalibration:The rum is not as good compared to rum rated equally good by me. In addition, the alcohol can be better integrated. -5 pointsNose: what a "mess"! Very complex and versatile. Here I can sniff it for a long time and always discover new flavors!Mouth: the start is amazingly mild but then the flavors come riding with full force on the alcohol wave! Again, a crazy combination and variety!Finish: long and with recurring impressions of nose and palate. Amazing: here the fruity flavors do not come under the wheels of barrel and spice.A great rum! No easy sipper and it takes its time.
Review by DomM
Vertical PM tasting: 89 / 95 /97 / 97 (cognac finish) / 02 / 05 / 13 Nose: fruits are very tamed here. Rather challenging with classic PM notes. Palate: much more pleasant on the palate. Well balanced and enjoyable.
