“Complex, woody, intense, and a little spicy.”

The "PM" from Port Mourant distillery, bottled by Velier, is a standout rum distilled in 1993 and aged for 13 years. With an ABV of 65%, this limited edition offers complex notes of tea, wood, and burnt sugar on the nose, and a palate featuring woody, spicy, and intense flavors. Fans appreciate its balance, herbal depth, and intense character, though some note the alcohol could integrate better. Its unique profile draws parallels with older, more mature rums, offering a robust experience. Despite its complexity, this version remains approachable and admired for its nuanced taste, which includes hints of dark chocolate, liquorice, and black tea.

“Bringt ein sehr ähnliches Grundprofil wie die beiden El Dorados aus 97 und 99, wirkt etwas ausgewogener - weit weniger Säure am Gaumen, dafür etwas mehr Holz und schwere Süsse. Der Alkohol ist aber sehr präsent, was für mich klare Abzüge bedingt. Einer der schwächeren Velier Demeraras.”

“Pure licorice and wood. Alcohol could be better integrated, but for people who like port mourant it's probably one of the better ones. Personally, it's far too bitter for me and I just don't like liquorice🙈😂”

“Continuing my attack on my present 😍 This is a really nice release. The fruit is very subtle and almost not detectable. I didn't get it until 30 minutes of resting. Intense and the flavors are really well balanced with the ABV. Would have loved a few bottles on my shelves 😊”

“Distinctively Port Mourant on the nose. Compared to the ED 1997 this one is more lively with more sweetness and fruits while the ED is much more wood and herbs forwards paying tribute to the longer maturation. Very enjoyable and easier to grasp on the nose for the Velier. On the palate, the Velier is nicely balanced between wood, PM herbal / liquorice notes and a vanilla sweetness. A hint of bitterness as well as dark chocolate and black tea notes. It is intense and flavorful, alcohol integration could be a bit better, however. So looking at this mini comparison: the Velier is very nice and by far better balanced and more approachable than the ED. For the later one, you have to cherish bitter and PM herbal notes very much to have a nice experience. That said, I personally prefers the much longer aged ED, even if price was not of any concern. Accounting for the current price levels I would go for 5+ bottles of the ED over the Velier any time 😁 Disclaimer: obviously it is a bit stupid to compare a 13y aged vs. a 20y aged PM from different vintages… given the lack of tropical aged PMs at my disposal (or availability in general) this will have to do for now, nevertheless 🙂”

“Typischer Port Mourant. Was ihn heraushebt, ist der ewig lange, sich noch steigernde Marzipan-Abgang.”

“Un rhum brut de décoffrage. Le nez est pourtant très avenant, avec les notes sucrées et épicées des rhums Dememara, des arômes fruités et boisés, du thé et des solvants. En bouche, le contraste se fait ressentir : on a ici un rhum puissant et amer, tourné vers le bois, les épices (réglisse, gingembre, piment et poivre), des saveurs rôties et toastées, du café, des fruits secs et du thé. On ressent les 65%. Une longue finale poursuit la trame sèche, épicée et boisée de la bouche, mais ajoute du tabac, un soupçon de fraîcheur mentholée appréciable et quelques fruits secs et rouges. Un rhum intense, difficile à dompter et à ne pas mettre entre toutes les mains.”

“Schöne Nase, die nach einiger Standzeit viele Fruchtaromen frei gibt. Pflaume, Rosine, Trockenfrüchte. Schwarztee und viel Eichenholz/Röstaromen. Am Gaumen sind die Holznoten leider sehr dominant. Daneben auch Gewürze, Leder und Kaffee. Im Abgang ordentlich Tannine und Leder.”

“An der Nase Gewürznelke, Anis, Kräuter, Olive, Schwarztee, getrocknete Früchte und eine dezente Süße. Am Gaumen Lakritze, Piment, kandierte Früchte, getoastetes Fass und ein leicht pfeffriger Einschlag. Der Velier erinnert mich an den Rum Cask PM 1997, wobei der Velier schon noch etwas an Komplexität, vor allem aber an Intensität drauf legen kann.”

“Tried twice, second time was a fresh opened bottle at whisky live last year, first time was a sample The second time experience is much much better than the first time, this again comes to my experience that velier Demerara perform better when it just opened This one has more bourbon vanilla nose when it just opens, nice green apple, grassy and greenheart woody notes from the distill, I would say it’s another fantastic rum, happy to grab more!”
