The Nectar 2020 Guyana Port Mourant 2yo is a captivating rum that belies its youthful age. Distilled in 2020 at the renowned Port Mourant distillery in Guyana and bottled in 2022 by The Nectar of the Daily Drams, this 60.8% ABV spirit boasts a striking dark gold hue, a rarity for such a young rum. This distinctive color is attributed to its maturation in virgin oak barrels, which have undergone a strong toasting process. On the nose, it reveals a delightful fruitiness dominated by green grapes and dark raisins, complemented by layers of soft caramel, banana flambée, oak, and vanilla. Subtle hints of smoke, aniseed, earthiness, and fennel add to its complexity. The flavor profile is thick and sweet, with prominent notes of toasted wood, caramel, and vanilla, creating a linear yet satisfying taste experience. Fresh apple nuances emerge, though the barrel notes predominantly take over. The finish is marked by strong, bitter espresso and butterscotch sweetness, making it an excellent choice as a digestif. While the high alcohol content can initially seem sharp, allowing the rum to aerate significantly enhances the overall balance and enjoyment. This release is a testament to Port Mourant's legacy, offering a complex and enticing rum despite its mere two years of aging.
