The Bristol Classic Rum 2008 Port Mourant 10yo 43% 700ml is a distinguished rum distilled in 2008 using the renowned Port Mourant wooden still and molasses. Although the Port Mourant distillery has long ceased operations, its iconic double wooden still continues to produce exceptional rum at the Diamond Distillery (DDL) in Guyana. This particular release was aged in British Guyana before being transferred to Bristol's cellars for further maturation in ex-bourbon barrels. Bottled in 2019 at 43% alcohol volume, this rum was not filtered, preserving its rich and complex character.

Its flavor profile is initially surprising, presenting a cereal-like quality reminiscent of whisky, which then gives way to a roundness and natural response to the pastry and creamy notes of the rum. Additional notes of copper and smoky accents add depth and complexity.
This rum embodies a precise representation of a certain English style, characterized by a funky and rich balance of exotic fruits and almonds in a syrup infused with herbs. The reduction process is expertly controlled, showcasing the delicate art mastered by the producer, Mr. Barret. The banana flavor is enveloped in a liana-like combination of sage and tarragon, creating an intricate and layered profile that is both exotic and familiar.
