Spirit Gallery Port Mourant 2012
"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
- Roasted nuts, licorice
- But: Alcohol reads young

The look inside the bottle
How does Spirit Gallery Port Mourant 2012 taste?
Aggregated from 26 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.

Reiht sich in diverse andere 2012er Guyana Rums ein und könnte blind auch definitiv ein Diamond sein. Schöne aromatik nach Tabak, dunkler Schokolade, Piment, verbranntem kräftigem Kaffee, etwas Pfirsich und gerösteten Haselnüssen. Alkohol könnte etwas besser integriert sein aber insgesamt recht lecker.
Review by TheJackDrop
EDIT : avec l’oxydation bcp moins chocolaté mais ça reste très bon. Tout d’un grand ! Le nez sur le chocolat (le rhum le plus chocolaté que j’ai eu au nez je pense), et praline, on pourrait croire qu’on entame le goûter avec une bonne pâte à tartiner. En bouche, au départ assez doux, caramel au beurre, boisé, chocolat au noir, et quelques fruits, je pense à la pêche de vigne, puis la finale remonte sur un côté plus tabac, torréfié, et pimenté. A mi chemin entre le Belize et le Guyana, si on m’avait dit que c’était un Blend ça ne m’aurait pas choqué. Gros kiff ! Bien content d’avoir pris mon 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 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 Johannes
Alkohol könnte etwas besser eingebunden sein, wirkt eher jung…

Ersteindruck: Sehr leckerer, schokoladiger Port Mourant.
Review by Jacques etdom
Le premier port mourant que j apprecie. Bravo à Benjamin pour ca, car c était un sacré défit ! Tres gourmand, chocolat noir, praliné, une bonne dose de bois et un "je ne sais quoi" (peut être une touche d eucalyptus) qui lui ramene tout de meme une certaine fraîcheur. Bravo, belle sélection.
