The Rum Mercenary & Kintra Port Mourant Sample X 9 Years
Sipped neat, this one flips the usual order: the nose stays muted and closed — one taster couldn't find the aniseed, another swears someone snuck syrup in — but the palate is where it delivers. Raisins, sweet white pepper, pineapple and a licorice finish one member calls the most he's ever tasted. A young, dry Port Mourant that rewards patience and a few drops of water.
The community says- Long raisin finish
- Sweet white pepper
- Muted nose

How does The Rum Mercenary & Kintra Port Mourant Sample X 9 Years taste?
Aggregated from 13 community reviews.
Young, dry Port Mourant with big licorice finish A quiet-nosed PM that earns its keep on the palate. Most rate it a good young Guyanese pick; the split is whether the alcohol sits cleanly or cuts through.

Review by xasmx
Did not expect much from this after initial nosing. The aroma is very muted for a Port Mourant. On the palate this really delivered. Nice soft mouth feel. Very flavorful, raisins, baking spices with alcohol very well integrated. The raisins continue for a long time on the finish. Found this very enjoyable, but the muted aroma keeps the score back.
Review by Rum man
Typical PM with the slight bitter wood. Despite its age it remains vibrant. Good pick from Sample X!
Review by Jackie Flannery
Another Sample X bottling, this time from the famous Port Mourant still. C: W wine N: 5min Less oily and maritime, but in a way meaner than the Sample X Albion. Nevertheless unmistakable a young Guyanese as well. Rubber bands and petrol, granny apples and celery. It´s all here. After 20min the oiliness appears, and it gets sweet. I could have sworn someone put syrup in this while not looking. A very sweet Port Mourant nose. M: A blend of pineapple and sweet white pepper. I really like this. Not complex but good young Guyana. F: Short. B: 2 please. Good price too.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Somewhat weird Port Mourant, at least at the moment (irl Sample x tasting). Where's the aniseed in the nose. The nose is quite closed. Again needs time. Taste: better than the nose (Albion other way around). Aniseed! Yes! (Always better in booze than the real deal). Dry. Quick glance. Need to try again. Atypical PM. Overall I like the Albion better.
Review by Jakob
Clearly recognizable proximity to the Barikenn Port Mourant 2012, although this release is still a bit younger on the nose: The focus here is clearly more on the fresh fruit aromas and the light lactic acid note, the wood is again clearly less present. A bit more fruity on the palate, but a combination of bitter roasted notes and alcoholic spiciness comes through now. The integration of the alcohol is not optimal, so this rather cutting note unfortunately remains a constant companion in the mouth and finish. The rest of the aromatics again bring spices, light minerality and subtle sweetness into play; unfortunately, this doesn't do much to change the basic imbalance. Too bad - a dilution would actually have been interesting here. An attempt with a few drops of water actually brings a slight improvement in my subjective perception, but this trick can no longer change the overall verdict decisively.
