somewhat thin but quite solid uitvlugt.
Review by Solidfunk
Super nice Port Mourant nose up front. Plum, raisin and maybe dried pear. Pours pale golden. Mouth has a bit of green wood. Caramel, funk that gets up into your sinuses in a nice way. Finish kind of dies off due to low alcohol level, just a bit of sweetness and some woody bitterness. But has a great nice start. Not a bad drink for $40.

Taka demoverzia na guyansky funk. Velmi prijemne pitie, zazvor bylinky, ovocie. Je tam aj trochu odlakovaca, ja som spokojny 😅 Samozrejme, prospela by vyssia voltaz ale to by potom mebola ta demo verzia a lahke pitie.

I liked it very much. Good introduction to the topic of Port Morant. Higher ABV would stand the rum well. Finish somewhat short
Review by Christoph
Just fine. The profile is relatively flat and heavily watered down and for that it is not mild enough on the finish. A mixture of pear, apricot and citrus that end up quite smoky in the finish.
Review by Mateusz
Really good. Complex nose and flavour. Very well recommended!

I enjoyed it very much as a mixer with some ginger ale. As a sipper it’s quite bland

"It's not a show stopper and it isn't sweet in El Dorado terms but it is a solid example of Pot Still rum from the Port Mourant still. Good if not quite great. Solid, workmanlike rum which won't bowl you over but is nicely made all the same and goes..."Read full review →
