Velier 1993 Port Mourant

One of my favourite of all times, this PM 1993 is literally not a good rum to introduce to Demerara Rum but if you like a heavy, oaky, full proof rum, you probably love it.

if you like the guyanese "terroir" this is your cup of (modified) tea
colour pale yellow
nose brings lots of fruit and tropical scents, including vanilla and fennols
taste has a hard bite at first then fading into endless warmth at palate
what a significant cornerstone, in line with the majority of early Velier bottlings
nothing to share with ridondant, sweetened sherry-finished products

Un rhum très épais et huileux. Banane, mangue, réglisse, vanille, caramel, quelque chose de mentholé, tabac à rouler, une pointe de fumée. La finale est sans fin, une heure après j'avais encore l'impression de l'avoir en bouche. Exceptionnel !
