TRC Diamond (Port Mourant) Guyana (Hampden Cask Finish) MPM 2008
The twist here: a Port Mourant from Guyana finished in Hampden casks, so it drinks more like a Jamaican than a Demerara. Ester, pineapple, banana and prickly citrus lead, with PM's spice underneath and a roasted edge. At 60.3% the heat shows late. Several tasters couldn't tell where Guyana ended and Jamaica began — the fun of the bottle for some, the flaw for others.
The community says- Ester and pineapple
- Blends two styles
- But: Hot at 60%

Aggregated from 38 community reviews.
Hampden-finished Port Mourant, drinks Jamaican Most enjoy this PM-meets-Hampden mashup and pour it often, though a few feel the Hampden cask flattens the Guyana character and reads simply as a tasty Jamaican.

Guyana meets Jamaika - was man sonst aus dem ein oder anderen Navy-Blend kennt, wurde hier auf neue Weise interpretiert. Bin ich sonst kein Fan von Finishs, so begeistert mich dieser Rum immer wieder. Ein jamaikanischer Funk ist ganz klar vorhanden, dennoch schreit diese Abfüllung nicht eindeutig Hampden, wie man dies von anderen Finishes in deren Fässern kennt. Irgendwie haben sich die beiden Stile hier vermischt und etwas neues produziert, ich weiß nicht, wo ich den blind zugeordnet hätte! Mal was anderes, spannendes und das zu einem anständigen Kurs. Schenke ich mir gerne und oft ein.

Das Hampden-Finish dominiert eindeutig. Ester, Banane, Ananas und dann die Würzigkeit im PM, das Ganze mit prickelnder Zitrone. Ein kontinental gereifter PM mit Hampden-Finish, das ist so richtig nicht mein Beuteschema. Aber am Ende war er gar nicht so schlecht.
Review by Agricoler
Sehr lecker aber blind einfach ein Jamaikaner der lecker ist. Überhaupt nicht kompliziert
Review by Han
Guter Jamaica-Rum — ich finde es schwer den Guyana darin zu finden.
Review by Christoph
Hier hat das Hampden Fass den Guyana Rum etwas platt gemacht. Blind für mich ein esterreicher Jamaika Rum mit vergorenen Früchten in Joghurt serviert. Im Abgang kommen die 60% etwas zu deutlich durch.
Review by Thomas Wille
Port Mourant & Hampden = 🥃👍🏻
Review by Wernie
Ein Experiment was, für mich, nicht gelungen ist. Die Nase noch recht interessant, unreife Banane in Nougatsose und einem Hauch Salz. Geschmacklich, nicht meins, bitter,alkoholisch,scharf. Das Hampdenfass passt einfach nicht dazu, es überlagert die Guyana-Gene und der Rum ist einfach nicht rund. Aber für ein "Gut" reichts.😉
Review by Christian Rudt
Das Hampden Finish hängt ein wenig über dem Guyana Rumy Esternoten im Joghurt sind dann aber auch Mal interessant. Durchaus gefälliger Rum
Review by Leo Krüper
Interessantes Profil. Irgendwie Sauerkraut Aromen. Kann mich auch nicht entscheiden ob Hampden oder Guyana. Schöne Abfüllung.
Review by Olimpia1936
Finitura in botte di Hampden che non convince del tutto e confonde un po’ la bevuta. C’era d’api, miele, paraffina, leggermente fruttato, alcol ben integrativo ma il tutto scivola via un po’ anonimamente e con scarsa personalità…da rivedere 🤔
