Cadenhead‘s DDL Green Label

Well-liked but not worshipped — most tasters peg this as classic Port Mourant and enjoy it, while a few find it a touch tired or wish for cask strength. Expect pencil shavings, tropical fruit, leather and wax, then a dry, bitter oak finish. One member calls it "too much wood compared to 12y" — the oak does grow through the glass.

The look inside the bottle

How does Cadenhead‘s DDL Green Label taste?

Aggregated from 14 community reviews.

Dry, woody Port Mourant with pencil-shaving edge A pleasant, dry Demerara that PM fans reach for; the recurring grumble is it plays it safe and would sing louder at full proof.

Perfect for

Port Mourant fans and dry Demerara drinkers

Less suitable for

anyone wanting sweet or fruit-forward rum

A rum that seems a little light on the nose, with tropical fruit, leather and something vegetal. The palate has a nice attack that returns to fruit with a little greenness in the background. A medium finish with a little marzipan. Better on second tasting.

Heute wieder ein Green Label der etwas auf dem Kasten hat. Sowohl in der Nase als auch auf dem Gaumen komplex. Man schmeckt aber recht schnell die bekannten Noten eines PM heraus. Etwas würzig, leicht medizinisch. Ich mag es sehr! Toller Rum

Great great smell. Anise. (Galia) Melon. Beeswax. A bit of paint. If i'm not mistaken this is Port Mourant. More dry and bitter than expected in the taste. A very present oakiness. Litchis. Rose water. Turkish Delight anyone. Dry still. Palo santo wood. Some unexpected notes in this. Pretty great and a bit weird. Love it.

Tolles Demerara-Release, prägnante mineralische Noten von Bleistift und leicht medizinischer Aromatik. Dazu tolle Fruchtigkeit, Holzeinflüsse, elegante Süsse. Funktioniert bestens auf Trinkstärke, der Rum hat Kraft und Ausdrucksstärke. Gelungene Auswahl.

Wieder einer der besseren Abfüllungen aus der Cadenhead Green Label Serie. Ein angenehmer Vertreter, aber wie immer hätte ich diesen gerne in Fassstärke gehabt. Das verbaut ihn leider die Chance einer besseren Bewertung, aber trotz allen ein sehr leckeres Teil.

Würzig, aber sehr trocken und adstringierend. Ich würde auf einen Port Mourant tippen.

Light guyana. Slightly technical with strong drevitoati and caramel. On the finish, until the bitterness.
