The Velier Demerara 1975 Port Mourant PM Guyana 33yo is a distinguished rum with an exceptional 33-year aging journey. Distilled in 1975 using the traditional Port Mourant double wooden pot still, this rum has been meticulously aged under a continental climate until its bottling by Velier in 2008. This limited edition release consists of only 518 bottles, each offering a robust 56.7% ABV and a rich 700ml pour. As part of Velier's esteemed Black Bottles series, this Guyanese gem showcases a remarkable flavor profile that reflects the heritage and expertise of the Demerara Distillery.
This rare expression captivates the senses with its deep mahogany hue and a complex aroma bursting with notes of raisin, leather, black tea, anise, and the essence of aged wood. On the palate, the rum delivers a powerful and delightful mouthfeel, with dominant flavors of raisin, plum, black tea, anise, and berries, complemented by a subtle spice. The finish is long and satisfying, offering lingering notes of licorice, coffee, black tea, berries, oak, and a touch of cocoa.
In blind tastings, the Velier Demerara 1975 Port Mourant often emerges as the winner among its peers, celebrated for its heavy dried fruit profile, nuanced tea and tobacco notes, and the intricate balance of spice and wood. Despite a slightly pronounced oak presence, this rum is lauded for its smoothness and intense flavors, making it a standout choice for connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike. Whether enjoyed neat or as part of a curated tasting session, this rum represents the pinnacle of 70s Demerara craftsmanship and offers a memorable, multifaceted experience.
