Port Morant is an acquired taste and not for everyone, but no one can deny the big taste that comes from the many esters that these kind of rums produce. This one is somehow lacking in esters.
Nose: Anise and fruit
Taste: Anise, fruit and a long and flavourful finish with a hint of the cask finish
Overall: The cask finish might have hurt the esters of this Port Morant, but it have given a more balanced rum than normal for a Port Morant. It is more of a people pleaser, while still being good enough for people who like the traditional Port Morant.
46% ABV. Very PM nose. Anise, funk, and damp, musty warehouse. Some astringency. Very old wood. P: delicious, old rum. Very savory and umami. Slightly oily and numbing. Long, long finish.
"The rum is pleasantly sweet but not overly so. Aniseed comes to the fore along with a rich long lasting spice. It is fairly dry rum but if offers a long finish."

The spices, that aniseed - Port Morant is alive! Recommended.
