The Masam 2003 Silvano's Collection Port Morant Guyana 18yo 53.5% 700ml is a remarkable rum from the historic Port Mourant distillery in Guyana, South America. This exceptional molasses rum was distilled in 2003 using one of the world's oldest and still-functioning double wooden stills, which dates back over 250 years and was transferred to the Diamond distillery after the Port Mourant distillery closed in 1955.
This rum is a testament to the legacy of Silvano Samaroli, the renowned Italian bottler and founder of the Samaroli company. The legacy is now continued by his wife, Maryse, under the Masam label. The Masam Port Morant Rum offers a lively and full-bodied experience, starting with a slightly coppery sensation and transitioning to the acidity of lemon juice. It then unfolds colorful notes of passion fruit, spices, almonds, and fruit pits.
Aeration further enhances the rum's complexity, introducing a drier, fuller-bodied profile with mineral and coppery spicy kernels. The vegetal side of the rum is expressed through a fragrant, smoky straw. The 18-year-old rum is rich, complex, and fruit-forward, featuring a pastry and fruity profile with nuances of almonds, raisins, pits, wax, and exotic fruit juices. Each year, Masam releases a new Port Morant vintage, making this 2021 release a cherished addition to any rum collection.
This rum is distilled using one of the world's oldest and still-functioning double wooden stills, offering a unique and historical aspect to its production. Additionally, it is part of Silvano Samaroli’s continued legacy, bottled under the Masam label by his wife Maryse.

Overall Taste: The Masam 2003 Silvano's Collection Port Morant Guyana 18yo is a complex and flavorful rum, characterized by smoky notes, tropical fruit, and spicy undertones.
Overall, this rum is well-regarded for its complex and rounded profile, featuring notes of wood, anise, licorice, and pepper, with a subtle sweetness and tropical fruit on the finish. However, some find the alcohol presence a bit too pronounced, and the flavor profile slightly tart without enough counterbalancing sweetness. Despite these minor criticisms, it is considered a good bottling with some recognizable strengths.
