    The UPM 1997 from Velier is a limited edition rum distilled at the Port Mourant distillery in Guyana. With only 1094 bottles available, this 15-year-old Demerara rum boasts an impressive 65.7% ABV. Users admire its complex profile with notes of wood, caramel, and tropical fruits, creating a balanced and intense experience. It opens with a classic Demerara nose, featuring glue, leather, and incense, transitioning to a palate rich in oak, spices, cacao, and tobacco. The finish is enduring, with woody undertones and hints of dried fruits. Enjoyed for its depth and balance, it may present a noticeable alcoholic bite to some.

     RumX Rarities day 8. A classic Demerara nose with varnished wood, leather, smoke, encaustic and tropical fruit in the background. The palate has a gentle attack, then develops lots of aromas. Prunes appear and incense transforms the English club into a medieval church. Smokiness is more pronounced than on the nose. Slightly unpleasant spiciness on the mid-palate. The finish is long on wood/plum/smoke/incense. A very fine rum, the kind that tells a story. I like it very much. The empty glass sees the tropical fruit reappear. The spiciness of the mid-palate takes a few points off.

     Very nice nose, lots of glue, tropical fruit and oak. With time in the glass comes a very nice caramel tone and nuts. The alcohol is well integrated.In the mouth great. Nooks and crannies but still very, very good. Insanely oily. Long finish. Extremely awesome caramel!Thanks to Düdo for the sample!!!

     A superb rum, incredibly balanced and complex on the nose. The profile is both delicate and intense, something we're not used to from Port Mourant. The varnished wood and the floral and herbaceous notes typical of the alembic are refined, but the sweet heaviness of Demerara and the fruity notes are more pronounced than usual. A harmonious, intense and deep profile. The attack on the palate is exquisite, halfway between Port Mourant and Diamond, with heavy notes of burnt sugar and caramel, powerful yet elegant oak, spices abounding alongside cocoa, tobacco, nuts and dried, exotic fruits. The alcohol is perfectly integrated, just sumptuous. The finish has an almost eternal sweetness, reminiscent of some Foursquare wines, with caramelized notes, coconut, cocoa and spices. There's an almost buttery quality that makes for a truly ecstatic finish. The fruitiness and woodiness are also on point. An extraordinary Port Mourant, delicious, powerful and complex, a real gem.

     Awesome, cool that we were allowed to taste this rum in the Rum X Rarities Tasting. And what a difference to the equally long aged, continental Port Mourant of the same vintage. The typical markers (salt, anise) almost sink into the perfect toasty caramel sweet tropical wood ripeness here with nice stickiness, nuts, cocoa and fruit. Would not have recognized blind as PM ... My favorite PM so far ❤️
