TRC Diamond (Port Mourant) Guyana MPM MPM 2008
People who want Port Mourant stripped naked will get it here: apple and citrus on the nose, a metallic-dirty edge, then a big hit of alcohol into burnt wood, dark chocolate and a long bitter finish. At 62.2% and just 9 years, one taster called it "a very naked spirit" — honest, dry, but light on complexity and hot for most.
The community says- Honest naked spirit
- Classic PM nose
- But: Very alcoholic

On the nose quite restrained and fresh! Alcohol is clearly noticeable! On the palate initially a slight alcoholic tingling, but that immediately gives way to burnt wood. Somehow it tastes a bit dirty and fatty! The woody note remains in the aftertaste! Interesting rum, but not my thing!

Well, normally I'm a big fanboy of TheRumCask releases, but this spark didn't really ignite with this rum. Either my sample was too old or Jens missed the mark with the cask.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Classic Port Mourant in the nose. No oak. Just spirit. Dry, light and crisp. Strangely not much alcohol burn. Not unpleasant but also a bit underwelming. Good example of a very naked spirit.
Review by Daniel
Nose: Alcohol, apple, caramel, and wood. Palate: The alcohol is also clearly in the foreground on the palate. Apple pies turn into dark chocolate, it becomes woody and bitter. Finish: Woody, chocolate, and bitter. Conclusion: Quite alcoholic, not very complex, but with a long-lasting, bitter finish. It can be more harmonious.
Review by Wernie
As a Guyana fan, I have to say, nope, that was nothing! The nose is still quite nice, with citrus fruits, apples, slightly metallic-musty, with anise and this buttery note. The palate doesn't please me, very sharp alcoholic. No trace of fruit anymore, only burnt wood, bitter and a bit of chocolate. At least it warms you up well.
Review by Dave
Quite tangy on the nose but quite a board on the palate!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
A bit too dirty and could be a bit milder, but for the young age and the price really okay to get an impression of Port Mourant!
