Review by DomM
Looking at the set of Bristol‘s 99 PM bottlings from 11y to 23y: On the nose all bottlings come with a good intensity despite the reduced ABV. All are transporting classic PM notes, showcasing the profile at different points in time. Particularly the 11y was a positive surprise compared to some 2010ish younger continental PMs. The sweetspot for me comes with the 15y - display a nice balance of cask notes (including dried fruits) and some lifeliness. 16y comes with a noticeable smokey notes. At 23y both bottlings show a bit too much wood on the nose, somewhat closing the profile up instead of enhancing it significantly. On the palate all six bottlings show a decent amount of sweetness (candied herbs) even up to the 23y bottlings. For the latter two, wood and herbal notes clearly take over, taking the lifeliness of the younger bottlings. Those are nice and mature, but again I‘m feeling the sweetspot at the 15y mark here. The 15y adds dried fruits versus the 16y delivering some smoke - similar to the nose. The low ABV isn’t what I would have wished for. However, intensity is decent - only the finish seems to lose quite a bit. Cheers to Johannes for curating this set :)

Im Test ein paar Bristol Port Mourant aus dem Jahr 1999, der RX3898 (11yr), der RX21891 (23yr), der RX506 (15yr) und der RX5733 (16yr). Was alle verbindet ist, dass sie alle relativ runterreduziert sind und ihnen damit ein wenig Kraft fehlt. Aber durchweg solide, aber leider nicht 100% überzeugend. Vom Ranking her, hat mir der 15yr am besten gefallen. Der 23yr auf Platz 2, gefolgt vom 11yr und 16yr.

Bristol PM Crosstasting #1: jüngste Abfüllung mit viel Frucht, allen voran Pfirsich und etwas Kirsche. Holz- und Röstaromen im Vergleich nicht so intensiv. Mehr Karamell als gebrannter Zucker als die anderen Abfüllungen.
Review by Jakob
Noch erkennbar jung, das PM-Profil ist erkennbar mit den nassen Holznoten, dunklen Gewürzaromen von Pfeffer und Piment sowie leichten zitrischen Fruchtaromen. Flankiert wird das ganze durch Trockenfruchtnoten, die einen angenehmen süssen Schmelz über den Rum legen. Ohne das ursprüngliche Destillat - also jenes in Fassstärke - zu kennen, glaube ich, dass hier sowohl das Portweinfinish als auch die Verdünnung sehr positiv auf den Rum gewirkt haben. Die Aromen sind präsent, zeigen Kraft, sind aber keinesfalls unausgewogen. Schöner Rum.

Richtig schöner Beginn des PM 1999 Tastings. Hier war wohl auch ein Port Cask im Spiel

"Some of the oak notes make it a little too dry and take away some of the fruitiness. That is just personal preference though. In short if you wish to try an authentic Port Morant and you prefer drier spirits this won't disappoint. It is also about the cheapest way..."Read full review →

"Bristol Port Mourant 99 vertical, this is the youngest in the series, and it is noticeable, it had this young pm aroma where it is still mellow and sweeter. Still it is a super good juice and really fits good at 46%"
