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

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.

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.

Avg Rating 8.4/10 over 1,600 Rums

Guyana is the last home of the wooden still, and the only rum country where the place on the label is almost never the place the rum was made. Its rum, called Demerara after the river, went from 109 distilleries to one, and the estates that closed live on as marks: codes for a recipe, not for a machine. Reading them is the whole skill.
