Review by ccajerem
👃 nez puissant typique d'un demerara dark rum skeldon ou enmore avec un compte d'âge plus élevé avec un taux d'alcool élevé. C'est très surprenant quand on sait qu'il n'a que 2 ans de vieillissement. L'utilisation de barriques neuves y est pour qqch. Notes de ☕️, 🍫, légèrement de pruneaux également. 👄 bluffante : à l aveugle on jurerait que ce jus a bcp plus d'années de vieillissement. Le 🍫 et le ☕️ sont toujours présents, ainsi que le caramel façon bonbon Wherters Original. Finale longue compte tenu de son âge. Un must have surtout si vous arrivez à le trouver prix de sortie. (69 euros)
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
I rarely talk about the color of rums, but this one is quite surprising. The Port Mourant are usually straw colors but here we are on a beautiful dark gold. Surprising for a 2 year old! The official version is the use of a virgin oak barrel that has undergone a strong toasting (interior and voluntary carbonization of the barrel). Others will say the addition of a nice spoonful of molasses as Diamond is used to ... On the nose, we are far from the beautiful glue that may displease some but that I love at Port Mourant! Here: vanilla, salted butter caramel ... it is sweet and greedy! Blind, I defy anyone to find a PM! In the mouth, we come back to the basics of a PM: licorice, solvents, woody, red fruits, citrus, almond, vanilla
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un jeune Port Mourant qui a de la ressource. La robe est déjà très colorée pour seulement 2 ans de vieillissement, et le nez est particulièrement bluffant : une petite pointe médicinale sur le vernis ouvre le bal, suivie de notes fraîches et herbacées, puis le spectacle commence avec les épices (cannelle, clous de girofle, réglisse, vanille) et des notes gourmandes comme les vieux Demerara (café, sucre brûlé, caramel beurré, cacao, banane, raisin sec). Le profil olfactif est extrêmement bien construit et très complexe pour ce compte d’âge, c’est remarquable. L’attaque en bouche est assez vive. Hormis quelques brèves notes herbacées, on est plus proche du style Demerara que Port Mourant : on retrouve des notes lourdes sur le caramel, le toffee, la mélasse, le raisin sec, le cuir, la noix de pécan, le chocolat et le café, mais ce sont surtout les épices qui font le show : cannelle, vanille, clou de girofle, reglisse et piment offrent un beau rhum exubérant en bouche. Les notes boisées et rôties accompagnent bien le profil. L’alcool est bien intégré malgré les quelques 60%. La finale est entre moyenne et longue. Elle est chaude, douce sur le toffee et le caramel, légèrement amère et boisé, mais surtout très épicée : on retrouve des notes salées, de la cardamome et des épices d’hiver en plus. Le chocolat, le café, le cuir et le raisin sec amplifient la sensation de gourmandise. Un Port Mourant vraiment dantesque qui offre énormément d’arômes et de saveurs pour son âge. Le rapport qualité / prix vaut clairement le detour.
Review by Cédric Meyers
Au nez très agréable, suave, doux, le petit côté excitant de la pâtisserie qui sent bon le beurre et par contre en bouche on ne retrouve pas du tout c'est marqueur, on est carrément sur les marqueur du port mourant mais en moins prononcé
Review by cigares
Un nez de Demerara avec quelque chose d’inhabituel. Du bois de cèdre, de la réglisse, de la banane, du caramel au beurre salé et un petit côté cuir. L’attaque en bouche est vive et ne reflète pas la subtilité et la complexité du nez. Le bois de cèdre domine et laisse peu de place aux autres arômes. Tout se remet en place en finale, qui a une belle longueur, même si le bois est toujours dominant. Un rhum d’une qualité incroyable pour sa jeunesse, surtout le nez qui me plaît beaucoup.
Review by Thunderbird
A very good PM! Stored only two years, you can hardly believe it... for this I feel him already quite complex! These dark aromas and the contrasting sweetness are really exciting and intense. A successful bottling
Review by TheJackDrop
"Ça part vite c’est dommage car les arômes sont dingues au nez! En bouche un poil décevant, mais bien gras, beurre, bois épices qui font plaisir. En resume, mes notes de degutation : Au nez : Caramel au beurre, Beurre En bouche : Boisé, Vanillé, Noix de pécan La finale plutot orientee vers : Caramel au beurre, Boisé"
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Not too bad a release. ABV could have been integrated a lot better but the balance is still kind of there after resting for a good while. Nice sweet caramel in the profile and I like the roasted wood on the profile. The empty glass has a really nice touch to it after a while.
Review by Rare Akuma
Fruitiness on the nose consists primarily of green grapes and dark raisins, clearly imposed by an unaged PM profile shining through. Despite its young age, the virgin oak is deceptive and has cheekily added a layer of soft caramel and toasted notes, most noticeably banana flambée, oak and vanilla. A subtle mixture of smoke, aniseed, earthiness and fennel adds slight complexity. The taste is quite linear. It’s thick, sweet and toasted. Little fruitiness remains as barrel notes completely take over. Some fresh apple is introduced, but it remains too flat and unchallenging. Ends in strong, bitter espresso accompanied by butterscotch sweets. Very after-dinner like and I can image this is an excellent digestif. Unfortunately the alcohol is not integrated very well. This needs lots of aeration to take the sharpness off and be truly enjoyable.
Review by DomM
Colour of the SBS is significantly lighter vs. The Nectar. On the nose both clearly deliver (unaged) PM notes. However the cask influence on The Nectar is much more noticeable as the colour suggested. Clear point for The Nectar. On the palate, this SBS is significantly sweeter and more „virgin oak forward“ so to say. Alcohol is better integrated vs. The Nectar. While there are also (oaky) sweet notes and vanilla, The Nectar delivers a much darker profile which is more noticeable PM. Overall a hint to sharp for my liking.
Review by Vincent D
Nez très accrocheur : un beurre salé caramélisé avec une pointe de chocolat. Ça donne envie. Le nez n'est pas confirmé par une bouche trop vive. L'alcool laisse encore trop peu de place au reste pour moi. Finale courte et agréable, sur du caramel et une touche plus salée. C'est bon mais mérite de vieillir encore.
