Port Mourant S.B.S Single Origin Rum PM 2021 Unaged 57%

"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 👍"

"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!"

"On its own, too intense for me personally, with notes of salty licorice, cardboard and bitter burnt caramel. In the daiquiri it's delicious with salty papaya, but all in all not a highlight in my opinion."

"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."

"I was really pleased to catch an unaged PM. The nose amazes me, many aromas as you know them from the aged. Very tasty. On the palate then herbal, spicy,a pinch of salt,alcoholic and strangely enough wood flavors. :-D Pure he is not so my taste, I blend in with the too sweet Strong Navy from RumDeLuxe and there he fits top."

"If it was from Velier, it would have been sold out long ago, it's strange what a bottle design can sometimes do. If you like aged PMs you should definitely try it, I always taste salty celery, but with PM everyone always tastes something different anyway."
