Port Mourant El Dorado Rare Collection PM

The aroma opens woody, caramel, and spice-rich; the palate is intensely woody with licorice, roasted, leathery notes, and hints of orange peel. RumX users praise its complexity but note strong wood and dryness—rewarding for classic Demerara enthusiasts.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Rich woody and licorice flavors
    • Complex, classic Port Mourant profile
    • Long, evolving finish

    Woody, licorice, and roasted notes take center stage in El Dorado Rare Collection PM 1997, delivering an intense, old-school Port Mourant experience. RumX tasters consistently mention dark, musty wood, leather, and spices, layered with flashes of orange peel and black tea. While its dry, tannic edge and herbal bitterness divide opinions, those seeking classic Demerara depth and cask-driven complexity will find much to explore. Worth a sip for fans of bold, age-forward rums.

    "The nose is greedy and sweet. The palate is heavy, dusty and coppery, with citrus fruits melted into precious wood."

    "Nose is dark and very wood and herbs forwards. Very interesting but also demanding. Same focus on the palate. However, nicely embedded in a vanilla/honey-like sweetness paying tribute to the long tropical aging."

    "Edit: Yesterday again with DomM in the glass and a Ramón Allones 90 ANIVERSARIO SR. HENRY Edición Regional Exclusivo Alemania 2020 to go with it. Had to adjust upwards. Kick-off RumX Advent calendar 2023. What a start. Thanks to the organization team. Takes a while in the glass, but once it has developed... Delicious You really have to say that all these El Dorado bottlings are very good, there isn't really a bad one."

    "Heute gibt es wieder seit einer gefühlten Ewigkeit Port Mourants. El Dorado 1997: Leckerer Port Mourant mit den typischen Aromenprofil. Sehr gefällig, Alkohol top eingebunden, sehr süffig. Die Komplexität geht ihm etwas ab. 85 Pkt. El Dorado 1999: Etwas verschlossener als der Bruder vaus 1997. Der Alkohol ist nicht so gut eingebunden. Hatte mir hier mehr erhofft. 80 Pkt. Tamosi Karaya 1998: Geiles Teil! Mit den typischen Port Mourant Aromen, die in ihrer Komplexität Wurzeln schlagen und aromentechnisch ausweiteten. Das Mundgefühl ist vollmundiger und angenehm, der Alkohol ist hervorragend eingebunden. 90Pkt."
