One taster called this "einer meiner Favoriten" among the old Bristol Port Mourants, and it shows: spicy wood up front, then dried fruit, anise and licorice, with a late mandarin-orange sweetness a few people flag. The classic PM profile — pepper, allspice, a touch of chocolate. The one real gripe: at 46% it's reduced, so the body and finish feel a little light for the wood behind it.
The community says- Classic PM spice
- Dried fruit depth
- Keep in mind: Light mouthfeel

How does Bristol Port Mourant Demerara 1999 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Spicy, woody Port Mourant, a touch reduced A favorite in the 1999 PM verticals for many — dried fruit, anise and spicy oak done well. The catch is the low-ish ABV thinning the mouthfeel and finish.

Nose not very expressive for me. It's woody, no doubt. Some mild spices and dried fruits (fig?). On the palate, the reduction appears even more and doesn't leave much. Wood, anise or licorice, dried fruits still. Gains pep with aeration. Finish quite short. Neither bad nor good. Not very interesting in my opinion.

Looking at the set of Bristol‘s 99 PM bottlings from 11y to 23y: On the nose all bottlings come with a good intensity despite the reduced ABV. All are transporting classic PM notes, showcasing the profile at different points in time. Particularly the 11y was a positive surprise compared to some 2010ish younger continental PMs. The sweetspot for me comes with the 15y - display a nice balance of cask notes (including dried fruits) and some lifeliness. 16y comes with a noticeable smokey note. At 23y both bottlings show a bit too much wood on the nose, somewhat closing the profile up instead of enhancing it significantly. On the palate all six bottlings show a decent amount of sweetness (candied herbs) even up to the 23y bottlings. For the latter two, wood and herbal notes clearly take over, taking the lifeliness of the younger bottlings. Those are nice and mature, but again I‘m feeling the sweetspot at the 15y mark here. The 15y adds dried fruits versus the 16y delivering some smoke - similar to the nose. The low ABV isn’t what I would have wished for. However, intensity is decent - only the finish seems to lose quite a bit. Cheers to Johannes for curating this set :)

In the test a few Bristol Port Mourants from 1999, the RX3898 (11yr), the RX21891 (23yr), the RX506 (15yr) and the RX5733 (16yr). What they all have in common is that they are all relatively heavily reduced and thus lack a bit of strength. But consistently solid, though unfortunately not 100% convincing. In terms of ranking, I liked the 15yr best. The 23yr in second place, followed by the 11yr and 16yr.
Review by Skyfly
Bristol PM Crosstasting #3: a bit older again and a bit better again. Now you already have darker aromas on the nose (chocolate, spices, wood). On the palate now more candied than caramelized. More intense finish than its predecessors.
Review by Frank
First woody spicy, then fruity sweet, clearly tangerine in the late finish. Multilayered despite low %, beautiful rum.
Review by Benoit Mahe
A consistent profile. A pleasant rum, not overwhelming but solid.
Review by m8375e
version bottled in 2014. solid but not amongst the greats. lacking a bit in mouthfeel.
Review by Jakob
A highlight among the 1999 Port Mourants. Great fruit aromas, both fresh and dried, plus the typical PM profile with a tart spiciness characterized by allspice, pepper, aniseed, liquorice and light coffee nuances. Balanced, expressive, a very good rum with a rounded aroma spectrum.
Review by Carlitooo
The Port finish gives the PM a really nice depth and complexity.

Bristol Port Mourant 99 vertical, interestingly the nose is rather straightforward, spicy wood and some dried fruits, but in the palate this really explodes in your face, loads of wood aromas and spice of anis. Powerhouse for cheap money
