The El Dorado 1999 PM Port Mourant 15yo is a rare and highly sought-after rum, with only 120 bottles allocated for the French market. This exquisite rum is part of the "Rare Collection" series from El Dorado, showcasing the unique style of the now-closed Port Mourant distillery.
Distilled in 1999 using the last remaining operational double wooden pot still in the world, which was moved from the Port Mourant distillery, this rum has aged for over 15 years in ex-Bourbon barrels. Bottled at its natural strength (cask strength) with an ABV of 61.4%, it bears the mark "PM," referring to the distillation style practiced at the Port Mourant distillery.
On the nose, the rum is intensely aromatic, featuring notes of licorice, anise, and wood, followed by fruity hints of orange, subtle olive, and a delicate menthol undertone. The alcohol is well-integrated, carrying the aromas without overpowering them.
The palate is as intense and concentrated as the nose, with licorice and anise flavors balancing the woody notes. Olive and orange flavors also emerge, and while the initial attack is powerful and slightly astringent, it maintains a certain smoothness.
The finish is long, complex, and ever-changing, with empyreumatic notes, leather, licorice, and menthol accompanying you until the end. This rum is a true testament to the unique style of the Port Mourant distillery and is a must-try for any serious rum collector or enthusiast.
