Kintra Port Mourant 12Y 2005

Es muss nicht immer Jamaica sein, wenn man deutlich ausgeprägte Ester sucht. Diese werden auch hier sehr schön in Szene gesetzt und harmonieren mit den trockenen Eichenaromen des Fasses sehr gut. Ein toller Rum, der bei mir für großen Genuss sorgt.

This is maybe not the average PM. It starts high in esters, but gets sweet and heavy, even a bit stinky, later. If you like that, it's highly recommended! Nose: quite appealing and, after breathing, rather lifted, but with some heavier elements that bring balance. Varnish, pineapple, melon, flower blossom, and a green note of tea. Then it gets sweeter on nougat and nuts, sugar, cookie dough, caramel/vanilla fudge. Maybe there is a hint of wood smoke. The more time it spends in the glass, the more fennel seed shows, plus a slight dirty edge. P: Nice balance between the cookie and sweet-related notes, and some darker and almost tarry notes. Fudge, dough, toffee, but also dark chocolate, nuts, a salty, almost peated edge. Less fruity, dried apricot. F: medium, pleasantly lingering, not getting harsh in any way. A continuation of the palate.

Nice and "stinky" PM
