Velier Demerara 1972 Port Mourant PM Guyana 36 years old is a rare gem aged under a continental climate in two PM-marked barrels after distillation by the Port Mourant Still, a double wooden pot still. Bottled at 47.8% ABV by Velier in just 175 bottles, this bronze-colored rum offers a nose filled with gourmand notes of rum-soaked raisins, Szechuan pepper, old pipe tobacco, and dried fruits. The palate, while slightly less impressive compared to the magnificent nose, features flavors of tobacco, mango with chili flakes, and molasses. The medium to long finish is dominated by spices and molasses, without any bitter notes, earning a rating of 91/100. This exquisite rum showcases the exceptional quality of rum production in Guyana, making it a must-try for enthusiasts seeking a truly unique and memorable tasting experience.

Some find the sweetness to be dominant, which may affect the perceived complexity. However, many appreciate its balanced nature and the gourmand notes it brings.
