    Port Mourant 2005 is a Guyanese rum distilled by Demerara Distillers Ltd and bottled at cask strength with an ABV of 48.5%. This 13-year-aged rum, selected by The Rum Mercenary, is noted for its distinct aroma of apple, glue, and olive. The flavor profile includes woody, oily, and fruity notes, with some users likening its taste to whiskey, complemented by a medium finish. Generally appreciated for its price-to-quality ratio, it is described as an "easy sipper" with a complex yet accessible character, though some note it lacks the complexity of traditional Port Mourant expressions.

    "Very similar to the RomDeLuxe 2005 - but not quite as round and smooth and also not as complex. But the same markers: aniseed, continental fruit, oak, plus a slight mustiness from wet cardboard - the sweet yeast pastry from the RDL is unfortunately missing. The mouth is a little thin with olive and brine and some musty wood just behind the aniseed. As with the RDL, the bitterness is well balanced. The dry finish is unfortunately a little flat with a hint of hay. Overall, a good PM that lacks a little complexity. I would always prefer the RDL."

    "Easy Sipper. A little too thin for a top rating, but very good value for money!"

    "Entspannter PM, die Verdünnung nimmt die Schärfe raus. Easy Sipper."
