How does this rum taste?
The El Dorado Single Still Port Mourant is a 40% ABV rum distilled in 2009 by Demerara Distillers Ltd in Guyana. It showcases classic Port Mourant characteristics with key notes of molasses, licorice, and a smoky finish. Users highlight aromas of dried fruit and tea. While it presents an interesting complexity, its lower ABV is seen to dilute some of the richness typical of full-strength Port Mourant rums. Ideal for newcomers to Demerara profiles, this rum delivers an approachable, smooth experience but may lack the depth experienced enthusiasts prefer. Suggestions indicate a higher ABV could elevate its flavor.

Guter PM, der eher auf der bitteren Seite ist.
Despite 13 years in the barrel this Port Mourant El Dorade has a nice balanced between the oaky side and the spirit side. The exotic fruit remind me of Jamaican rum and give a nice freshness and counter balance to the cask notes. I like this one the most of the three 2009 single still bottlings.
Really good stuff for 40%! Just don't compare it with the great cask strength bottlings. Of course, there are worlds in between
Well I was very exited to try those single still releases… this is exactly what I would hope for DDL released on a larger scale (and hopefully at a half reasonable price). All three show the common characteristics you would expect and love about DDL‘s stills. No need for blended in the barrel / finishes / obscure leftover casks. Unfortunately, the reduction to 40% ABV is basically a crime against humanity 🙈 While the noses are surprisingly intense, on the palate all three releases are way to thin to deliver the profile competently. Nevertheless all seem in a good place after 12 years of tropical aging and as there are also limited higher ABV bottles available there is a chance for genuinely amazing OB release from DDL in the future. Fingers crossed.
