Whisky & Rhum Port Mourant L'Esprit 2005
"A Port Mourant that doesn't play it safe," as one taster put it — and that's the story here. The nose is the crowd-pleaser: pineapple, citrus, apple and pear with a floral edge, plus that classic PM iodine. The palate turns rougher — woody, spicy with pepper and anise, and a clear metallic, briny streak. At 60.1% the alcohol is still lively and could sit better. Most agree the nose beats the mouth, but they like it all the same.
The community says- Bright fruity nose
- Classic PM spice
- But: Metallic palate

Review by Frank
Nose: spicy-fruity, dried and slightly sulfured apricot. But also a citrus freshness. Cherry and a muted sweetness as of honeycomb. There's also some nice floral and vanilla.Palate: intense and powerful. No more fruitiness and floral. Bitter salty woody. And something metallic. Iodine. The spiciness goes possibly in the direction of cardamom.Finish: woody bitter, some herbsI like the nose better than the taste, but overall it pleases.

Review by Oliver
Great, fresh and tangy PM. Personally, a tad too much citrus.
Review by Santo
Fresh buttery and vegetal with lots of citrus. Very good PM

Très bon PM
Review by JB
Nez particulier et très (trop ?) complexe pour moi. Très métallique. En bouche une attaque puissante assez florale ou herbacée qui se transforme en beurrée et ronde. Le finale fait pensée au pruneau à l'eau de vie. Je n'ai pas trop apprécié.
