How does this rum taste?
The "Demerara Rum" from Guyana's Diamond (Port Mourant) distillery, selected by High Spirits Collection, is a 2001 vintage aged for 20 years and bottled at cask strength (47.7% ABV). Crafted from molasses using a Double Wooden Pot Still, this limited release showcases classic Port Mourant notes with woody, fruity, and citrus aromas, alongside unique varnish and ester hints. Users highlight its whiskey-like profile, with flavors featuring fruit, wood, and roasted elements, complemented by brine and anise. Its lower ABV is both a strength for drinkability and a minor critique for complexity. Still, many appreciate its balance of herbal and balsamic notes, making it approachable.

A great full-bodied (though low) excellently balanced rum. On the nose fruity, balsamic (resins, conifers), woody and a light note of citrus.On the palate initially the balsamic and fruity part is felt to later leave the scene to a balanced roastiness and coffee that accompanies us to the finish with woody and lychee notes.An interesting rum for those who love the balance of aromas. The low alcohol content in this case is not very noticeable a sign of a well managed abv.At the price of 150 euros it seems to me a good deal. By looking it is still possible to find very good rums without the shadow of speculation, as unfortunately happens on many Velier bottlings (also of dubious quality) that when they come out are already sold out or at inadequate prices because they are sold in parallel to a host of collectors (see Papalin arrived in not even a week at twice the price).
All in all, a very exciting bottling. It has everything you would expect. The typical markers of a PM are clear to smell and taste. I was a little skeptical at first because of the low ABV that it tastes very thin, but that makes it very drinkable. It's not a complexity bomb, but for me personally it's still very successful.
Very interesting sweet-fruity nose with an association to light, non-smoky whisky, also Williams pear. The alcohol is barely perceptible. On the palate again an association with mild whisky. Well balanced spice and barrel notes, not very fruity. The finish seems to me to be less nuanced, mainly spice and cask. Good rum and very suitable for getting to know the style of Port Mourant.
An der Nase grüne Früchte (Apfel, Birne), Oliven, kräutrige Noten. Am Gaumen zunächst sehr mild, wegen des niedrigen ABV, dann kommen würzige Noten, Fass, Salzlake und Schwarztee. Alles was ein PM braucht, gefällt mir richtig gut!
