The Habitation Velier Port Mourant Guyana 59% 700ml is a unique and exceptional rum with a distinct and impressive profile. This rum is produced using local molasses from Guyana, as highlighted on the label, which also showcases a drawing of the still, the bottling date (2015), and a high level of congeners at 537.59 mg/litre, contributing to its rich aroma and flavor. Crafted at the renowned Demerara Distillery, this white rum stands out as a first worldwide, produced using the last wooden still in the world, the famous Port Mourant still. A testament to the distillery's commitment to quality and tradition, this rum offers a fresh, vibrant taste with a citrusy and peppery flavor, and a noticeable oily texture, but without the harsh burn from the high alcohol content.
Upon opening the bottle, the aroma of citrus, varnish, and pepper immediately stands out, even from a distance. On closer inspection, the scent evolves to include notes of wet wood, fresh almond, and a hint of buttery or oily undertones, giving an impression of eau-de-vie. The finish is long-lasting, with an initial intense taste that fades relatively quickly, leaving an eau-de-vie impression and a pronounced metallic taste that emerges after a few moments.
This rum is unique because it is a white rum, while all other rums from this distillery are aged, whether under the El Dorado brand or other bottlers. Notably, the Habitation Velier Port Mourant Guyana 59% 700ml is limited to just 1,600 bottles, making it a rare and sought-after gem for rum enthusiasts.

Reviewers find the Habitation Velier Port Mourant Guyana 59% 700ml to be a very atypical Port Mourant. The nose begins with spices, smoky notes, and a hint of roasted almonds before giving way to more vegetal, earthy, and floral notes that hint at fruity notes of peach and apple. Varnish and mineral aromas complete this complex and original nose. On the palate, the attack is lively, astringent, and marked by spicy, earthy, floral, and vegetal (tea) notes, while not neglecting tropical fruit and varnish. The finish is slightly bitter, dry, and less fruity, with a smokiness that some find reminiscent of wet paint.
Some reviewers have noted that this unaged version is more enjoyable than some more recent younger continentally aged PM bottlings. Despite the strong smoky and earthy notes, the alcohol is surprisingly well-integrated, making it a great white rum worth trying. However, not everyone is a fan of its unique profile, with some preferring more traditional aged versions. Overall, it provides an interesting and complex tasting experience, appreciated by those who enjoy exploring unique and unaged rums.
