Description
Elizabeth Yard bottled this 2003 Demerara at eighteen years old and cask strength, 53.2 percent, listed against the Port Mourant double wooden pot still and matured in port wood. It is a single cask in the unsweetened independent tradition, dark in colour and built around deep roasted and bitter flavours rather than easy sweetness.
The nose leans on coffee, roasted notes, dark berries and black tea, with the palate turning woody and bitter over coffee and brown fruit, and a finish of cocoa, oak and drying tannins. The deep colour and roasted profile point to active port wood working alongside the still. Honest drinkers note the typical Port Mourant markers can sit lightly here, so it reads more as a dark, coffee-and-cocoa Demerara than a textbook anise PM, rewarding time in the glass at its natural strength.
