Bristol Port Mourant Demerara Rum 1990

Wood runs the whole show here — dry, spicy oak with anise, nutmeg and a real cigar-and-licorice edge, plus a Port-cask thread of raisin and chocolate underneath. One taster cherishes the "salty liquorice / salmiac" note. The recurring gripe: at 46% several members find it thins out fast on the palate after a promising nose.

The community says
  • Dry spicy oak
  • Salty licorice note

How does Bristol Port Mourant Demerara Rum 1990 taste?

Aggregated from 14 community reviews.

Dry, woody old Demerara that thins at 46% Old-school Port Mourant that a few call a favorite. The steady catch: reviewers agree the 46% dilution flattens it, so the palate feels thin next to the nose.

Perfect for

fans of dry, woody aged Demerara

Ich mag diese alten Bristol PM sehr gerne! Dieser ist neben dem 99/14 und natürlich dem 1980 mein Favorit!

Quite impressive. Significant for 46%. There is a lot of wood in both nose and taste. Fine balanced with sweetness, salty liquorice / salmiac. It's a rare taste in rum that I cherish a lot.

This is the range of older tastings I had while living in China. Having my own business there opened all kinds of doors and one of them was access to the rum clubs around the country. This Demerara is rather light but thinking about the price tag it's pretty decent actually. The nose is fruity and woody with anise, herbs and grassy notes. Once rested the Port cask maturation becomes more clear. The palate is light and lightly dry with fruits and wood trailed by anise, chocolate, honey and port wine. The finish is medium to long with raisin and chocolate and a nice trailing port wine flavour. I would habe loved this one with a bit higher ABV.
