Bristol Port Mourant Demerara Rum 1990
Burnt sugar, anise and a strong cigar-and-pencil-shavings woodiness on the nose, with grassy molasses and dried plum behind it. The palate is dry, spicy and oak-heavy, threaded with honey and salty licorice. The recurring complaint: at 46% it thins out fast after the sip. A classic old-style Port Mourant from a Sherry/Port cask that promises more on the nose than it keeps.
- Salty licorice note
- Real oak depth
- Old-school Demerara

How does Bristol Port Mourant Demerara Rum 1990 taste?
Aggregated from 14 community reviews.
Dry, woody Demerara that thins at 46% Loved as an old-school Demerara — woody, dry, with anise and salty licorice. Most agree the 46% dilution costs it; several wish it landed at a higher ABV.

Review by Johannes
Ich mag diese alten Bristol PM sehr gerne! Dieser ist neben dem 99/14 und natürlich dem 1980 mein Favorit!
Review by Kasper
Quite impressive. Significant for 46%. There is a lot of wood in both nose and taste. Fine balanced with sweetness, salty liquorice / salmiac. It's a rare taste in rum that I cherish a lot.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is the range of older tastings I had while living in China. Having my own business there opened all kinds of doors and one of them was access to the rum clubs around the country. This Demerara is rather light but thinking about the price tag it's pretty decent actually. The nose is fruity and woody with anise, herbs and grassy notes. Once rested the Port cask maturation becomes more clear. The palate is light and lightly dry with fruits and wood trailed by anise, chocolate, honey and port wine. The finish is medium to long with raisin and chocolate and a nice trailing port wine flavour. I would habe loved this one with a bit higher ABV.
