Bristol Port Mourant Small Batch Demerara Rum Berry Bros & Rudd Port Mourant 1999
Twenty-three years didn't make this the top Port Mourant in the lineup — the wood took over. Members tasting the 1999 Bristol PMs side by side kept landing on the 15-year as the sweet spot, with this one on the nose showing a bit too much oak that closes the profile up. What's there is classic PM: anise, licorice, allspice, burnt sugar and roasting notes over an oily body. The finish just fades early.
The community says- Classic PM licorice
- Oily body
- But: Wood dominates nose

The look inside the bottle
How does Bristol Port Mourant Small Batch Demerara Rum Berry Bros & Rudd Port Mourant 1999 taste?
Aggregated from 10 community reviews.
Woody, licorice-led Port Mourant that fades late Mature and honest PM, marked down by its own fans against younger Bristol siblings — the reduced strength and a quick-fading finish cost it. Still a well-liked dram.

Review by Skyfly
Bristol PM Crosstasting #5: im Direktvergleich mit der Abfüllung Haromex am Ende durch die intensivere, lang anhaltendere Kirsche im Gaumen ein Ticken besser. In Nase und Gaumen zudem gebrannter Zucker sowie schöne Kräuter- und Röstaromen.
Review by Jakob
Nicht nur angesichts der Eckdaten findet sich sehr viel Nähe zum Haromex-Release aus 2022 - ich habe keine Angaben dazu, vermute aber eine Fassteilung. Knackige Würze von Piment, Anis, Lakritz und einem Hauch Vanille, dazu das zu erwartende Holz und die Röstaromatik flankiert mit öliger, aber nicht überlagernder Süsse von Karamell und Melasse. Im Abgang dann etwas zu zurückhaltend. Schönes PM-Release ohne letzte Intensität.
Review by Carlitooo
Im Direktvergleich mit all seinen Brüdern aus 1999 tanzt er mit einer recht fruchtigen, „gemüsigen“ Note aus der Reihe
