The Silver Seal 2003 Demerara Port Mourant Special Bottling is a masterpiece of rum craftsmanship, emanating from the renowned Port Mourant distillery in Guyana. This 13-year-old rum, distilled in 2003 and bottled in 2016, is presented at a robust 51% ABV in a 700 ml bottle. It showcases the unique character and complexity of the Port Mourant still, known for its double wooden pot stills. Initially aged in Guyana, this rum spent additional years maturing in Scotland, resulting in a rich and multifaceted profile that is both aromatic and flavorful.
On the nose, this rum opens with a lavish almond scent, layered with an intriguing slight solvent note. It offers a fresh and medicinal profile, with prominent notes of resin, rosemary, oregano, pine, and an array of other herbs. Vegetal aromas are harmoniously balanced with spices and the ripeness of exotic fruits. Over time, the bouquet evolves to reveal prunes and nuts, enhanced by warm copper notes that evoke images of lush, ripe exotic fruits.
The palate is greeted with a concentrated and lively attack, offering a slight yet pleasant bite. Fruity flavors of pear, cherry, and prune dominate, enriched by animalistic and musky undertones, hints of leather, and a whisper of smoke. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of anise, citrus, and charred barrel that leave a smoky impression.
This Silver Seal special bottling is a testament to the exceptional qualities of the Port Mourant still and the meticulous craftsmanship of Silver Seal. Its complex and layered profile makes it a prized addition to any rum enthusiast's collection.
