"The most chocolatey Port Mourant I've had on the nose," one taster wrote, and the reviews back it up: milk and dark chocolate, praline, roasted hazelnuts, licorice and burnt sugar over the usual Guyana wood and tobacco. The palate runs dry and spicy with pencil shavings, coffee and dried fruit. At 62.9% the heat shows — several felt it drinks a touch young.
The community says- Deep chocolate & praline

How does Spirit Gallery Port Mourant 2012 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Chocolate-heavy Guyana pot still, cask strength Loved as a rich, chocolatey Port Mourant that gives a lot for the money. Most call it very good but not revelatory — the alcohol reads a little raw and young.

Spicy Port Mourant Chocolate, licorice, hazelnuts and dark burnt sugar. Very solid but not a revelation. Alcohol well integrated. Nice sipper that you drink on the side.

Fits in with various other 2012 Guyana rums and could definitely be a Diamond blind. Nice aromas of tobacco, dark chocolate, allspice, burnt strong coffee, a bit of peach, and roasted hazelnuts. The alcohol could be a bit better integrated but overall quite tasty.

#6563 28.03.2026 - Part 2 The first online tasting of 2026 of the group we had in Shanghai. Funny that we are now living in different parts of the world again. Singapore, Sweden, UK, Denmark and Thailand 😊 Thanks for the samples Mike. Another rum where you get a lot for your money. The nose is well balanced, naturally sweet and has light wood, caramel, anise, earthy and nutts. The palate is oily and medium intense with light roasted wood, light pencil shavings, caramel, anise and dried fruit. The finish is long and well balanced with light roasted wood, dried fruit, prunes and light chocolate.
Review by Timo Groeger
Dann zur Abwechslung noch einen guten Rum. Netter Port Mourant, man bekommt was man erwartet. Es ist ein sehr röstiger Rum, dunkle Schokolade und Milchschokolade haben wir hier, außerdem Hilz und Würze.
Review by TheJackDrop
EDIT: with oxidation much less chocolaty but it remains very good. Truly a great one! The nose is all about chocolate (probably the most chocolaty rum I've smelled), and praline, you might think you're starting a snack with a good spread. On the palate, initially quite soft, butter caramel, woody, dark chocolate, and some fruits, I think of vineyard peach, then the finish leans more towards tobacco, roasted, and spicy. Halfway between Belize and Guyana, if someone told me it was a blend, I wouldn't have been surprised. Big love! Really happy I got my pack.
Review by Chrischi78
The profile is characterized by dark chocolate, spices, wood and a little tobacco. The alcohol is present, but only moderately integrated. Overall solid, but without great depth or surprise.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un Port Mourant vibrant, savoureux et très goulu. Le nez est puissant mais très gourmand, avec des notes très prononcées sur la noisette (grillée notamment) le chocolat, le pralin, la réglisse et les épices (piment, cannelle). Des arômes grillés, du bois, du tabac, et des fruits (secs et rouges) se mêlent pour un profil abordable et avenant aux narines. Moelleux, intense et prenant, tel un Port Mourant. L’entame en bouche révèle encore cette association voluptueuse entre douceur et obscurité mais avec plus d’amertume cette fois. Les saveurs sombres se dévoilent au fur et à mesure avec le chêne rôti, le tabac, la noisette, le chocolat au lait, la cannelle, la réglisse puis des notes plus marquées sur le caramel et le sucre brûlés et la datte séchée. Le profil est assez direct et peu complexe, il lui manque cette maturité pour prétendre à la cour des grands, mais il reste une cuvée très plaisante à déguster, où l’alcool demeure bien intégré. La finale est brève pour le coup, principalement axée sur l’amertume apportée par le café, le cuir, la réglisse et le chocolat noir, les tanins avec le bois et enfin le côté brûlé avec les arômes plus sombres et quelques épices. Une finale sèche et éphémère qui manque de caractère et de vivacité, c’est dommage car le reste du profil est plus chatoyant. Un très bon Port Mourant, très gouleyant comparé à d’autres profils du même genre. Le rapport qualité / prix est très bon.
Review by Vincent D
Une jolie note de noisette au premier nez. Puis un jolie boisé, de la réglisse, du chocolat. Profil Guyana, sans aucun doute. En bouche, marqueurs sombres et épicés mais une belle gourmandise apportée par du chocolat et de la noisette encore. Finale longue. Amertume légère. Un poil trop fort pour moi mais alcool très bien intégré.
Review by zabo
Heute mal random ein paar Port Mourants wahllos gegeneinander probiert. RX 24445, RX23926 und RX3534. Alle sind auf einem guten Niveau, wobei mir die Abfüllungen von Spirit Gallery und der CDI von 2005 besser gefallen haben, als der CDI von 2013. Aber alle durchweg solide.

The alcohol could be a bit better integrated, it feels rather young...
Review by Schnubbii
First impression: Very tasty, chocolatey Port Mourant.
Review by Jacques etdom
The first dying port I appreciate. Kudos to Benjamin for that, because it was quite a challenge! Very indulgent, dark chocolate, praline, a good dose of wood and a "je ne sais quoi" (maybe a touch of eucalyptus) that still brings a certain freshness. Bravo, nice selection.
Review by Jus Liens
Un nez qui met quelques minutes à s'ouvrir, complexe : de la mentbe/réglisse, du boisé, beaucoup d'odeur, à la fois sèche et gourmand. C'est mon premier port mourant, c'est tentant ! Bouche : sec ! Poussière,chaud, épices et piment, noix 2e gorgée : en plus, Genévrier ! Cuir. Finale : plutôt longue ! On va sur le café et le chocolat. C'est bon ! Il faudra que j'y revienne. Je pense qu'il nécessite d'y revenir un peu avant de pleinement l'apprécier.
Review by Rum man
This is an alright PM for me. It drinks a bit too hot and it does not bring anything special to the table. It gives you some or the typical PM markers of course. It benefits from 20 minutes of airing to open up.
