Old Port Deluxe Matured

This one seems a bit full of water. The taste is good.. But if it had been doubble the taste it had been killing.

Mon exploration des rhums d'Inde s'est limité à celui là qui pourtant de l'avis de beaucoup serait un bon rhum.
Alors d'abord en ouvrant la bouteille cette odeur de cerise chimique prend directement au nez. En bouche on a affaire à un alcool trop sucré,chimique et qui ne ressemble même pas à du rhum. On dirait un sherry bas de gamme de chez aldi.
Le continent asiatique devrait arrêter de massacrer des rhums qui à la base doivent,j'en suis sûr,être très intéressants.

Drinkable with coke, but thats about it.
There are better mixers out there.
Tried one sip neat before I added the coke, but its too harsh for that.
Update: Not taken in to account in my score, but extremely poor screwcap on this bottle.

A little harsh, yet thin? Artificial taste and smell too. An interesting failure. I'm glad I tried it, but I can't imaging purchasing it again.

This rum has a distinct vanilla taste and is very smooth. It think it is a very undervalued rum and should be in everyone's cabinet.

A very enjoyable rum, the Old Port Deluxe Matured is dark, sweet and very atmospheric. It has a lot of character, although I understand some of the below sentiments that the taste can be somewhat artificial in taste, but I think that's mostly due to the lack of proper spark in it. It's a very good sipper, but I would not recommend this to the experienced tongue. I do however love it, I would always have one ready for consumption!

Using coke should be avoided, I find it to make the drink too bland and really steals away the distinct character that this rum has.

Has some pleasant sweetness to go along with some oakiness to reduce the sweetness so it isn't over the top. Baking spices and vanilla are also evident to give this a nice flavor. I have only sipped this rum neat and enjoyed it a lot. Kind of similar to Old Monk XXX.
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS RUM IS NOT EASY TO FIND.

Strong butterscotch notes on the nose. Unusually dry on the tongue and a bit flat

Nice, dark amber colour in the glass.

The flavours seem to explode in your mouth and then settle to the back of your mouth.

There is a good lingering aftertaste, however the initial alcohol burn is a bit more than what I prefer.

Mixing with Coke or putting into Hot Chocolate creates a really flavorful, enjoyable drink

Vanilla touches and smooth after taste makes for an enjoyable sipper and could hold other surprises once I get to know it better.
