RA Guyana Rum MPM 2008
Sixteen years old and it still reads young — that's the surprise here. This Guyana Port Mourant leans hard into pencil shavings, anise and dry herbal wood, with only faint yellow fruit (mirabelle, plum) poking through. Most tasters find it dry, spicy and a touch bitter, structured rather than playful. One member called it a decent PM, "not the best," and that's the honest gist.

The look inside the bottle
How does RA Guyana Rum MPM 2008 taste?
Aggregated from 20 community reviews.
Dry, woody Port Mourant with pencil-anise bite Classic dry Port Mourant DNA — pencil, anise, oak — but several find it still a bit rough and edging toward sour or medicinal. Decent, not top-tier PM.

Review by DomM
Nice young PM. Yellow fruits and a surprising sweetness. Still a bit stingy on the palate.
Review by Johannes
Schönes Port Mourant-Profil, das aber irgendwie auch melassige Versailles-Bleistiftnoten enthält. Dadurch nicht ganz so kräutrig-würzig, wie ein ‚ normaler‘ PM.
Review by Jakob
GRF 2024 Messebewertung. Typischer kontinentaler PM aus den 2000er Jahren. Herbes Holz, dezente Frucht, trockener Abgang. Ausgewogener als andere Releases, wer das Profil mag findet hier ein ansprechendes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.
Review by Oliver
Still a little rough. Nice pencil note.
Review by Christian Rudt
Wirkt noch etwas jung in der Nase, aber das typisch würzige mit einer Portion Anis ist klar zu erkennen. Und ja etwas Bleistift habe ich hier auch. Am Gaumen dann sehr würzig trocken mir fehlt hier leider die Balance so das es tatsächlich in Richtung sauer geht.
Review by RumTaTa
Die Nase ist bis auf gelbe Früchte (Mirabellen) eher seicht und zurückhaltend und kommt ein wenig scharf rüber. Nach einer Weile kommt noch unreife Mango dazu. Am Gaumen kommt Fahrt auf: zu Anfang kurz fruchtig süß aber das schlägt fast sofort in trockene Noten wie Leder, Kräuter und eine leichte Bitterkeit um. Der Nachklang besteht praktisch ausschließlich aus der langanhaltenden (staubigen) Trockenheit und ein wenig Würze Passabler Rum mit einer gewissen Eleganz aber mein Fall ist es nicht.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Relativ verhalten an der Nase mit etwas Gewürzen, Holz und gespitztem Bleistift. Leider auch geschmacklich sehr trocken, sehr medizinisch & bitter mit dieser für mich persönlich eher unangenehmen Bleistift Note. Quasi null Fruchtigkeit und sehr holzig und bitter, adstringierend im Abgang...
