Dark espresso, aged wood and leather, with dried figs and a faint sweetness underneath — this is textbook Port Mourant, just very old. Forty-one years in the cask left it oily and deep rather than fruity. Every taster says the same thing: give it time. Thirty to sixty minutes open in the glass and the nose keeps unfolding. The 48% strength never overwhelms; the alcohol sits well integrated.

How does Skene Whisky Port Mourant PM 1974 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Deep, wood-driven old Port Mourant sipper Reviewers land near-unanimously high — heavy, wood-driven and demanding, but rewarding. The one recurring note: it needs a long rest in the glass or you'll miss most of it.

Review by DomM
Little look into some 74 PMs: Moon Import / Kingsbury / Skene Whisky. On the nose: Moon comes with a profile I would immediately associate with PM. Anise, wet would and plum. Very nice and rich. Kingsbury shows more sweetness with almonds and a buttery sensation to it. Also very nice. A bit more lively - despite the significantly longer aging. Skene delivers the heaviest Profil. Leather, black tea and herbs. Yet still some sweetness and dried figs. Most demanding of the three but also highest intensity. On the palate: Moon is very nice with rich notes of coffee and dried plums delivered with some sweetness. Kingsbury shows some sweetness again and rich dark notes with lots of wood and leather without being bitter at any point. Skene is more balanced than the Kingsbury. A bit more sweetness and dried fruits alongside the strong wood influence. All in all I go with Moon = Skene > Kingsbury for today.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
I wanted something special for my 600th tasting. Et voilà: a 41-year-old PM from 1974! I am greeted by a deep, dark, molasses-like aroma on the nose. Definitely Guyana. After standing for a while, I sip the glass in awe - oh yes, an absolutely worthy aged rum. Wood, leather, spice, molasses, hardly any fruit, barely noticeable alcohol, but still enough power. So blindly I would have guessed a really old KFM (are there any before 1991?). I hope my naivety is forgivable. But when do you ever have a 74 PM in your glass?

12.06.2020 Relaxing over a nice lunch with friends and family and a few rums. Notes Very dark in colour (almlst black). Nose Elegant, wood, roasted, light smoke, fruit, raisin, light caramel. Palate Oily, balanced, complex, dried fruit, caramel, light grape, light coffee. Finish Long, complex, wood, roasted, dried fruit, light caramel, coffee, faint chocolate. Extra note Needs to rest for a very long time to open up properly.
Review by zabo
Uiuiui, this is really delicious. Many thanks to DomM for sharing. In contrast to the 1975s we had in our glass today, it's quite different, even though there's only one year between them. But the long time in the barrel hasn't done it any harm. Top rum, there's nothing to shake about that.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
41 years in the barrel. What can you say... simply great. Many herbs, pleasant wood, few fruity notes. But very round and slightly oily. Many thanks Oli for the great sample. It was an experience.
Review by Volkmar Weber
100% Port Mourant DNA. Dark, thick espresso, the wood present despite long aging, but not dominant. Tolerates a minimum of 30, better 60 minutes in the glass, the nose develops enormously - very nice, never overwhelming cask strength. Bonus: Bottle and massive wooden box - a dream.
Review by Alex Kunath
Very tasty, pleasant combination of fruit, leather and wood. But could have had more steam.
