Port Mourant
Port Mourant — Guyana’s double wooden pot still icon of Demerara rum
Born on an 18th‑century sugar estate on the Demerara River, Port Mourant is the cult name behind Guyana rum’s most storied still: the double wooden pot still carved from greenheart. Now housed at Diamond distillery, its heavy, oily spirit brims with licorice, anise, black tea and dark fruit—powerful yet nuanced.
On RumX, 2,136 reviews place the distillery at a strong median 8.5/10. Fans praise cask‑strength authenticity and vintage releases from Velier, El Dorado Rare Collection and S.B.S; others note assertive herbal, camphor or woody bitterness in certain bottlings. Either way, the PM marque remains a benchmark for premium, character‑driven aged rum.

Flavour profile of Port Mourant
Most frequently mentioned flavors
RumX drinkers seek PM’s unmistakable personality: dense molasses core, anise/licorice and black‑tea dryness lifted by minty, herbal flashes. Unaged whites show briny, lactic, smoky tones; continentally matured releases tilt drier and spicier; long tropical aging adds caramel, cocoa and polished oak. While a few find the profile too woody or medicinal, most value the complexity, long finishes and cask‑strength precision.
