The Mombacho Portwood Finish 21yo rum is a mature and complex spirit hailing from the lush landscapes of Nicaragua. This exceptional rum is a testament to Mombacho Ron's dedication to crafting premium spirits. Aged for a minimum of 21 years, this rum boasts a rich and full-bodied aroma, making it a luxurious and sophisticated drink perfect for special occasions or as a treat for rum connoisseurs.
The journey of this exquisite rum begins in ex-bourbon casks made of burnt oak, which previously contained bourbon. The aging process is completed in port casks, bestowing the rum with a golden hue and a rich, fortified flavor. The initial attack on the palate is dominated by tannins of toasted oak and prune, followed by waves of red and black fruit jam, with prominent notes of prune and black cherry. As the rum aerates, it unveils a new layer of smoky aromas, reminiscent of braised or smoked chicken, hot ashes, and charcoal.
With an ABV of 43%, the Mombacho Portwood Finish 21yo rum offers a gourmet and well-rounded spirit with a long-lasting and intense taste. Its complex aromas and rich flavor profile make it a standout among other rums, and a worthy addition to any liquor collection. However, some reviewers feel that the balance could be improved with a higher ABV and a longer cask finish.
The primary aromas include sweet, smoky, vanilla, woody, and herbal notes.
On the palate, you will experience smoky, woody, dried fruit, molasses, and vanilla flavors.
The finish is warm and rather long, characterized by woody, dried fruit, and spice notes, with caramel and coffee being particularly prominent.
Some reviewers feel that the price tag is too high for what you get, suggesting that the ABV should be higher and the cask finish longer for a better result.
Some reviewers feel that the Mombacho Portwood Finish 21yo rum is somewhat out of balance, with the cask finish barely making it into the rum. They suggest that a higher ABV and a longer cask finish would produce a better result. Despite these critiques, the rum maintains the distinctive Mombacho DNA, with flavors of caramel, vanilla, and roasted notes such as coffee and cocoa. While some find it less intense than the Mombacho 12 years Reserva, it remains a well-balanced spirit with a warm and rather long finish.
