Swell de Spirits Diamond Arcade Series #3 (V&B France) PM 2011
Most tasters land it in the low-to-mid 8s: a young-but-tasty Port Mourant from Diamond, dark and roasted rather than bright. Think coffee, dark chocolate, charred wood, licorice and dried prunes, with a sweet-without-sugar feel. A few wished it had spent longer in the cask; one found the vegetal, root-like side hard to love. Still gourmand and easy to keep sipping.
- Dark coffee notes
- Roasted oak depth
- Licorice and dried fruit

How does Swell de Spirits Diamond Arcade Series #3 (V&B France) PM 2011 taste?
Aggregated from 26 community reviews.
Dark, roasted Port Mourant with coffee and licorice Well-liked young Port Mourant — coffee, chocolate, charred oak and licorice, sweet but bone-dry. A few say it was bottled a touch early and the heat could bind better.

Review by TheJackDrop
Un peu fier de pouvoir présenter cette cuvée aux côtés de l’équipe lors du Rhum fest, Paris ! Un profil très sympa, que le public a vraiment validé à 100 %, le chocolat et le café laisse la place à des notes herbacé et réglisse. En finale, je trouve. Atypique !
Review by Skyfly
As I write this review, I still have the taste of a latte with a hint of chocolate syrup in my mouth - a completely new experience. The coffee flavor runs through the entire tasting, accompanied by varying degrees of chocolate and wood notes. There is also some fruit and caramel on the palate. Conclusion: really delicious!
Review by Eric Frechin
Voilà un Port mourant que j adore ! Pas toujours eu des expériences folles avec Port mourant lorsque le boisé est humide/ pourri. Ici le boisé est sur un très agréable torréfié .on a beaucoup de rondeur et gourmandise chocolatée, la force du café, de la pâtisserie , des notes de réglisse. Alcool pas trop présent
Review by Jonathan Massard
Dégusté au Rhum Fest Paris 2025. Jolie couleur sherry bomb, sans ajout. 👃 Un presque 60% qui titille les narines sur le piquant du bois, du fruit très confit (tropicaux et prune), très sucré sans aucun ajout, toute sorte de déclinaison autour d'un bon gros caramel. Du chocolat noir pâtissier aussi. 😋 Gros boisé Demerara. Très sucré/salé, umami, sauce soja, réglisse fondue salée, léger gingembre, un peu de café au caramel et l'amertume du citron jaune. Le fruité sur de la prune/datte séchée. ⛳ Sur l'amertume boisée, pas dérangeante, fruits très cuits, caramel et réglisse fondu. Concentré, atypique pour un jeune PM.
Review by Vincent D
Encore une dégustation sur le stand Swell lots du RhumFest Paris 2025. Superbe Guyana. Relativement jeune mais boisé assez fondu et agréable. Quelques fruits secs. Mériterait une dégustation plus en longueur.
Review by LesTontonsMaltés
Niveau incroyable pour ce Port Mourant 2011 de la jeunesse mais une grosse claque! Des épices parfaitement maîtrisé! Avec un bois présent mais gourmand! Et ce fruit exotique !!!! Miam Un des coups de cœur du rhum fest
Review by zabo
Zusammen mit der reduzierten Franconian Tasting Gang verkostet. Meiner Meinung nach für das Alter eine solide Abfüllung. Verglichen mit dem schönen Etikett, kann er nicht ganz mithalten. Fazit für mich, eine untere 8.
Review by Serge
Relativ junger Port Mourant, der für sein Alter aber relativ gut abliefert. Auch für einen 2011 gar nicht mal so schlecht. Sumpfig, süß, Kakaobutter, Holz, Vanille. Aber alles in allem bleibt es eine niedrige 8
