Introducing the Master of Malt 2008 Diamond Port Mourant 11yo, an exceptional rum distilled at the renowned Diamond Distillery in Guyana. This limited-edition release, bottled in 2019, boasts an impressive 11 years of aging, resulting in a sophisticated spirit with a robust ABV of 50%. Only 205 bottles of this unique rum were produced, making it a rare and highly sought-after find for connoisseurs.
On the nose, this rum presents an intriguing blend of darker vegetal notes, with tobacco and black tea taking center stage. A subtle sweetness lingers in the background, accompanied by the faintest hint of banana, creating an aromatic experience that is both complex and inviting.
The palate continues the theme of tobacco and tea, further enhanced by the prickle of black pepper. It's a warm, almost whiskey-like sensation that offers a satisfying depth of flavor. As you savor each sip, the finish unfolds gradually, with the persistent tea and pepper notes eventually giving way to a rich, dark fudge essence.
Despite some mixed reviews on its dominant wood and tea characteristics, this rum's intricate profile of tropical fruits, spices, and earthy undertones provides a harmonious balance of sweetness, warmth, and subtle bitterness.
This rum stands out due to its 11-year maturation and limited release of only 205 bottles, combined with its distinct flavor profile developed at the Diamond Distillery in Guyana.
While it shares some similarities with whiskey, particularly in its warming sensation and use of tobacco and tea notes, it retains the unique characteristics of rum, including a subtle sweetness and complex flavor profile.
The Diamond Port Mourant 11yo offers a mix of darker vegetal notes such as tobacco and black tea, accented by black pepper, with a finish that fades to dark fudge.
As a seasoned rum enthusiast, I find the Master of Malt 2008 Diamond Port Mourant 11yo to be a captivating and complex spirit. Its distinctive blend of tobacco, black tea, and pepper notes, coupled with a warm, whiskey-like palate, makes it a unique addition to any collection. While the dominant wood and tea elements may not appeal to everyone, the intriguing finish with a touch of dark fudge offers a satisfying conclusion to each sip. An exceptional rum for those who appreciate depth and character in their spirits.
