"The profile is amazing. Unfortunately just 40% abv" is basically the whole story here, and lots of tasters echo it. On the nose you get classic Port Mourant: molasses, prune, black tea, a little licorice and wood. The palate carries demerara sugar, baking spice and dried fig but comes across thin and short. A calm, readable PM that never quite hits.
The community says- Textbook PM nose
- Molasses and prune
- Keep in mind: Thin at 40%

How does DDL El Dorado Single Still Port Mourant 2009 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Classic PM nose let down by thin palate Most agree the nose is the best part and the palate feels watered down at 40%. A fair intro to the Port Mourant profile, just missing the punch people wanted.

Well I was very exited to try those single still releases… this is exactly what I would hope for DDL released on a larger scale (and hopefully at a half reasonable price). All three show the common characteristics you would expect and love about DDL‘s stills. No need for blended in the barrel / finishes / obscure leftover casks. Unfortunately, the reduction to 40% ABV is basically a crime against humanity 🙈 While the noses are surprisingly intense, on the palate all three releases are way to thin to deliver the profile competently. Nevertheless all seem in a good place after 12 years of tropical aging and as there are also limited higher ABV bottles available there is a chance for genuinely amazing OB release from DDL in the future. Fingers crossed.

As with the EHP and VSG, a great nose that unfortunately - thanks to extreme dilution - cannot deliver on the palate as it actually could. Apart from the dilution, a beautiful PM with sweetness, licorice/aniseed, fruit, wood and without the often disturbing saltiness or too much herbs. It may have been sweetened a little here.
Review by zabo
Today we compare three El Dorado from 2009. Port Mourant RX13844, Enmore RX13123 and Versailles RX14577. Unfortunately, they are all reduced to 40%, otherwise something very good could have emerged. A little too thin for me personally. Otherwise, quite successful bottlings for an introduction to the El Dorado universe, although I would prefer the El Dorado 12,15 or 21 here.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#5231 12.04.2025 running some samples at home while listening to some Goa Psy Trance. Nose Wood, spice, berries, light caramel, light tobacco, light licorice, plum. Palate Oily, balanced, wood, light roasted, light tobacco, light licorice, light chocolate, prunes. Finish Very long, wood, light roasted, oily, light licorice, berries. Empty glass Licorice, wood, light cherry, faint grass, light chocolate. Needs to rest for a while to really open up properly.
Review by Christian Rudt
Simple Port Mourant, if you can taste simple in PM. The complexity of the profile can at least be guessed, fruit and tea notes are perceptible. It just lacks a lot of punch due to the dilution. nice on the side. Or to start a tasting. You can't go wrong. Except for the price 🙄
Review by Johannes
Good PM, which is rather on the bitter side.
Review by Rumpalumpa
In direct comparison with the sister bottlings, I have to rate it a bit lower because I simply like the PM markers less. Apart from that, identical behavior: on the palate the dilution is very noticeable, less than on the nose or in the finish.
Review by abaker-rum
A very good rum with a pleasant nose. The nose is probably the strongest part with molasses, vanilla, dried dates, anise, and smoke. The pallet is chocolate, molasses, spice, and wood. The finish is medium and oily.
Review by Jakob
The typical PM notes are undoubtedly recognizable, but the profile in particular becomes a kind of "PM light" - the reduction takes the punch out of the distillate, but also introduces a new facet. There's something about it, and for Demerara newbies in particular, it's a harmonious addition to the high-proof releases.
Review by Andi
Since I've been drinking rum almost exclusively at cask strength for some time now, it already seems very thin, but despite all that I think it's a great way to start the evening, you can recognize the PM profile very well and not everyone drinks rum at cask strength. The price, on the other hand, is very off-putting. I think that 45-50% ABV would have done the bottling a lot of good. The rum releases a lot of aroma after a short time in the glass, so leave it to stand for 10 minutes.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
On the nose: This has noticable Demerera rum smell on it. That woody, coffee, demerera sugar combination. Taste: little bit oily, roasted coffee, hints of dark chocolate, woody. Pretty balanced. Leaves you wanting for more stronger flavours as in higher abv Finish: due the low abv, a short finish. Woody. Taste profile is really good rum in 40% range. As i said, the higher abv would have been an interesting to taste. Interesting experience and its a step up from the Eldorado coreline releases, but the pricepoint is pretty high for me buy one.
Review by Rum man
And the last DDL from the set which also included RX14577 and RX13123. There is no mistake this is the typical taste of the Port Mourant still. There is something green in there combined with some apple/pear candy that I had in my childhood that stands out for me. Great way to understand the different profiles of the different stills.
Review by Florent Apl
Today, we're testing the three El Dorado single stills in their 40% versions. This PM opens with the classic characteristics you'd expect: the dark aspect typical of DDL rums, with hints of molasses, a slight hint of prune, and also black tea. On the nose, this is my favorite of the three. The palate is immediately less appealing; there's black sugar, cooking spices, and a slight woody note, but it lacks a lot of complexity. The nose was dreamy, but unfortunately, it's not there at all on the palate. A short finish once again, the prune makes a slight reappearance, reminding us that we missed it during the tasting. In conclusion, it's obviously lacking some punch. It's not bad, but it could be incredibly better. The potential is there, but it's not tapped into, and at this price, it's a no-go. But at least it has the merit of offering an overview of the different styles.
Review by Carlitooo
Really good stuff for 40%! Just don't compare it with the great cask strength bottlings. Of course, there are worlds in between
Review by Vincent D
Pretty nice. I wouldn't have recognized Port Mourant if I hadn't known about it. Nice woods. More interesting than Versailles.
Review by TheTobias
Despite 13 years in the barrel this Port Mourant El Dorade has a nice balanced between the oaky side and the spirit side. The exotic fruit remind me of Jamaican rum and give a nice freshness and counter balance to the cask notes. I like this one the most of the three 2009 single still bottlings.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Actually like this one the best compared to the other 3. Nice spice, slight bitterness, and roasted aromas. Light citrus notes and very smooth overall. Well done but a bit too expensive at over 100€.
Review by Solidfunk
Tar, dried fig, plum or prune. Pours dark amber. Florals and oak. Attic dust, gasoline. Leathery mouthfeel. Kind of sticks to your tongue. This is good but maybe not the greatest Port Mourant I've had among the few I've tried.
Review by BnBrt
A rum to discover the universe, a bit bland for me despite an interesting nose. It would benefit from a higher proof. Nose of caramelized apples, a bit fresh. Lacks attack, a bit tame. A bit of cooked cherry? A bit of almond? I find it a bit bland to my taste. Short but pleasant length.
Review by Romain de L
Nose is interesting - with leather and fruit. The attack is disappointing - and below my expectations. A bit bitter. Long finish quite pleasant
Review by Alex1981
Nice, you can guess the PM. Unfortunately very thin & short.
Review by Motte
Port Mourant RX13844, Enmore RX13123 and Versailles RX14577 tested against each other. Unfortunately too thin and too expensive to give more points, but an exciting tasting of the different El Dorados. Typical, pleasant PM without edges and corners.
Review by Pavel Spacek
The profile is amazing. Unfortunately just 40% abv
