Moon Import Port Mourant Rum Demerara „Menses“ 1974

8.9/10
Rated by Leo Krüper, Johannes & 16 more

Nearly everyone falls for the nose here — plum, espresso, anise, leather, that old-school Port Mourant depth — then notes the palate doesn't fully keep up. The 46% reduction leaves it a touch thin, and the finish can edge into "grenzwertige Bitterkeit," as one taster put it. Still, a chocolate-and-dried-fruit Demerara with real history, and most people sip it down happily.

  • Rich PM nose
  • Plum and coffee
  • Old Demerara depth

How does Moon Import Port Mourant Rum Demerara „Menses“ 1974 taste?

Aggregated from 18 community reviews.

Old Port Mourant: gorgeous nose, thinner palate Loved for a rich, classic PM nose of plum, coffee and wood. The catch most agree on: the dilution leaves the palate a bit thin and the finish slightly bitter.

Perfect for

Demerara fans who love old Port Mourant plum-and-coffee character

Less suitable for

Anyone wanting a punchy, full-bodied palate or no bitterness

Toller alter Demerara. Die 43% gar nicht unangenehm, sondern passen exakt. Röstaromen, Backaromen. Toller Rum, der mich positiv überrascht.

This is a tasting from 06.08.2011 held at a local Spirits shop in Vejle. My notes about this rum. Very dark rum with strong roasted wood notes. Medium fruity with some chocolate, nuts and caramel.

Un Rhum très impressionnant, le Rhum est très bon au nez et il est charmeur doté d’un équilibre incroyable ! On le boit très facilement et on ne le crache pas . C’est une bouteille mythique de la Guyane

Sample auf dem GRF bei Rhumauction mitgenommen. verkostet im Direktvergleich mit dem Kingsbury 1974 … Nase: der Moon ist mehr Old School PM mit Pflaume, Espresso, Holz&Malz, Leder und floralen Lavender & Veilchen-Noten. Der Kingsbury hat mehr Tee, Marzipan und Süßholz drin und weniger Pflaume. Gaumen: kingsbury … dünn, Tee, Tannin, Süßholz u d etwas Trockefrüchte. Weit hinter der Nase. moon: Mehr Pflaume als der Kingsbury, aber auch dünn und weit hinter der Nase. Unterm Strich bleiben beide hinter einer schönen Nase zurück und sind etwas dünn. moon eher Pflaumig und floral mit Kaffee, Kingsbury eher Tee&Mandel mit Süßholz. Beim Mion ist die Verdünnung nicht ganz so viel und es kommt am Gaumen etwas mehr an. Für mich der Bessere.

Un échantillon récupéré au German Rum Festival en 2024. Un nez très doux et plein de flaveurs, de la pâtisserie, du bois amer et comme un parfum de Madère. L’entrée de bouche est un peu faible avec un alcool marqué pour les 46%. Tous les arômes du nez sont présents, mais comme bridés, un peu en retrait. La finale est longue, plutôt fine et élégante, sur le bois, l’amer et les fruits secs. Le verre vide est d’une élégance folle mais du côté sombre. Une très belle étiquette et une bouche un peu décevante.

Klassisches altes Demerara-Profil. Schwere Süsse, dunkle Fruchtaromen, Holzbitterkeit, Gewürze, ausgewogen. Trotz Verdünnung nicht flach, auch wenn andere Vertreter aus diesen Jahren dank ihrem höheren Alkoholgehalt noch mehr aromatische Wucht mitbringen und deshalb noch höher ausschlagen. Elegant, süffig, toller Rum.

GRF13: Sample von RhumAuctioneer An der Nase hat dieser Port Mourant fast die gleichen Aromen wir der gestrige 85er Rum Nation. Einfach fantastisch. Am Gaumen ist er allerdings nicht ganz so präsent und im weiteren Verlauf werden die Aromen immer schwächer.. der Abgang ist dadurch ziemlich kurz. Es ist dennoch eine klasse Abfüllung und ein Stück flüssige Geschichte
