Port Mourant S.B.S Single Origin Rum PM

Another nice white from S.B.S and the price is pretty good compared to what you get. This one can also be used to sip, on the rocks or in a mixer. I liked it a lot on the rocks as well where other flavours come to life. Not a Habitation Velier, but still pretty decent.

Compared to the HV unaged PM, this is much more rough. However, this is more clearly noticeable „the PM profile“ while the HV brings quite a few unexpected notes along.

Too intense for me personally, with notes of salty licorice, cardboard and bitter burnt caramel. In the daiquiri it's quite tasty with salty papaya, but all in all not a highlight in my opinion.

It's not really my cup of tea on its own, but it's good to be unaged. So without further ado, I added a few ingredients and tried it out as a blender. It is definitely suitable for this, but unfortunately not the non plus ultra.

Hier ein ungaged Port Mourant von S.B.S. Gar nicht so schlecht. Nase ist sehr fruchtig, tropische Früchte vor allem. Außerdem ist Olive erkennbar. Am Gaumen ist er für mich dann sehr pflanzlich/floral, aber auch leicht würzig.

A rarity to get an unaged PM to the nose: Tropical fruity with a honey sweetness at first, then slightly spicy with vanilla and newsprint. At the back something slightly musty, almost musty, plus olive and saffron. 78 Palate: oh, something surprisingly sweet and creamy before a salty bitter wave comes in and then gives way to anise and vanilla. Turns slowly towards dark brioche and gets drier and drier. Turning greener at the end, green tea. 75 Not all that bad, should have tried, also has a good plv. I'm into matured after all....

This rum I bought for cocktails. But once I have it in the glass after the SBS Albion, I can also write a short tasting note. The nose is intense and earthy-spicy: wet wood, damp roots, cardboard, caraway uhd salt liquorice. - could also be a North German specialty. The vanilla yellow fruit of the Albion is completely absent here, but there is glue and iodine. In the mouth, a few fruits do emerge: Quince, gooseberry, rather green and unripe, plus Very mineral and salty notes. The finish is rather short and salty. Really good I find him in drinks. In the Mojito he comes good whether as a base or splitbase spirit. Good release at a very good price 👍

Very good white rum. Interesting that the rum already without barrel contains such pronounced vanilla notes

Somehow I completely forgot that I have this rum on my shelf. Unfortunately, I don't have a bottle or sample of the unaged PM from HV for a direct comparison. From memory, the HV tasted better to me, but I also find this one very interesting. Let's see how it does in cocktails.

A balanced unaged PM... soft and creamy it comes along, the spice is perfectly balanced! I like that well!

Tasted on the Whisky and Rum festival 2022. IJmuiden. www.zeewijck.nl. Buttery white PM. Pretty tasty.

Röstig, dunkel, Schokolade, Olive, Honig und Vanille in der Nasase. Schwerpunkt auf salziger Vanille. Cremiger, honigsüßer Kakao. Natürlich etwas kantig, aber auch hier: überraschend mild und dennoch aromatisch für die 57%, probieren ok, aber flasche brauch ich nicht.

Disappointing performance. But it could also be that we are simply not used to unstored Guyanas. For me, the worst of the 4.

A rather strange mix, and I'm not used to these notes. The nose is a little disappointing and doesn't open up too much, staying on a brine/leather mix. On the palate, it's almost creamy, with brine, saltiness and a hint of sweet pepper. Not bad, but a little short, staying on the surface.

Sehr fruchtig in der Nase, aber dann salzig im Geschmack - eine Kombination die man nur selten erfährt. Bisher nur pur genossen und für einen ungelagerten sehr empfehlenswert. Als Basis für einen Mojito sicher auch gut geeignet
