Young, dirty-fruity Port Mourant ride For curious explorers ready for cask-strength Demerara, this young Port Mourant is fruity, rubbery and slightly smoky. Expect pear, apple, citrus peel, chocolate, wood and that classic oily “good rubber” note. Great for summer sipping among rum geeks.
PM and Demerara fans who enjoy dirty, rubbery, high-ABV single casks with lots of fruit and don’t mind a bit of youthful punch.
Beginners, those sensitive to 59% ABV, or drinkers seeking polished, woody complexity rather than a rough-and-ready, rubbery-fruity profile.

Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
Serge writes in a great review: "Nose: get out of here! Brand new Pirellis, two tons of rubber bands, and your sister's bicycle inner tubes. You see the idea...Mouth (neat): Ardbeg matured in a new scuba diving suit. Plus salt and lemon. The question is, do we enjoy this much rubber?" My answer a year ago: No, I found it undrinkable! In the meantime, the profile is a prime example of acquired taste. Compared to the 2005 PMs, it really is much dirtier: acetone, rubber, a hint of smoke - behind it the typical pome fruit and fresh sourdough bread. The aniseed note of the 2005s is missing. In the mouth, Serge hits the nail on the head: rubber, brine and a hint of lemon. My answer today: yes. Or to say it with Serge: "There's bad rubber and there's good rubber. This is good rubber."
Review by DomM
Quite light and fruity compared to other/older PMs. Feels somewhat juvenile but in a positive way. Alcohol is well integrated. Good choice for the hotter summer nights.
Review by Zorman 🇩🇰
Very fruity and not much else, so a bit 1-dimensional. No alkohol burn. Consistent in nose and mouth.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Yet another rum that needs to be rested properly before you nose and sample it or the ABV is going to hit you. The nose is lightly woody with pears, vanilla and varnish, the chocolate note is very faint but more clear in the empty glass after a while. The palate is warm and oily with pear, vanilla, wood and chocolate. The finish is long and warm with smoky wood, dried fruit and light vanilla.
Review by Jakob
An unspectacular bottling which, considering its young age, is still comparatively exciting and can therefore collect plus points, but does not achieve more than a solid rating in the overall assessment.
