Review by kudzey
Great vegetal and floral notes with extremely long, refreshing finish. Nice hints of fudge :)
Review by Bob the Drunker
Tried twice, second time was a fresh opened bottle at whisky live last year, first time was a sample The second time experience is much much better than the first time, this again comes to my experience that velier Demerara perform better when it just opened This one has more bourbon vanilla nose when it just opens, nice green apple, grassy and greenheart woody notes from the distill, I would say it’s another fantastic rum, happy to grab more!
Review by Johannes
Very good, but 'normal' continental intensive Port Mourant.
Review by mto75
An der Nase Gewürznelke, Anis, Kräuter, Olive, Schwarztee, getrocknete Früchte und eine dezente Süße. Am Gaumen Lakritze, Piment, kandierte Früchte, getoastetes Fass und ein leicht pfeffriger Einschlag. Der Velier erinnert mich an den Rum Cask PM 1997, wobei der Velier schon noch etwas an Komplexität, vor allem aber an Intensität drauf legen kann.

Continuing my attack on my present 😍 This is a really nice release. The fruit is very subtle and almost not detectable. I didn't get it until 30 minutes of resting. Intense and the flavors are really well balanced with the ABV. Would have loved a few bottles on my shelves 😊
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Typical Port Mourant. What makes it stand out is the eternally long, ever-increasing marzipan finish.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... The Old Velier Demerara rum is the best thing you can taste in the rum world. The rums were aged in the tropics for several years by mistake and nobody refilled the barrel. The Andel tax was 90% or more, which is why the taste is especially full and intense. Even though it is an extra expensive product, I recommend to taste a rum from this series at least once in your life.
Review by DomM
Distinctively Port Mourant on the nose. Compared to the ED 1997 this one is more lively with more sweetness and fruits while the ED is much more wood and herbs forwards paying tribute to the longer maturation. Very enjoyable and easier to grasp on the nose for the Velier. On the palate, the Velier is nicely balanced between wood, PM herbal / liquorice notes and a vanilla sweetness. A hint of bitterness as well as dark chocolate and black tea notes. It is intense and flavorful, alcohol integration could be a bit better, however. So looking at this mini comparison: the Velier is very nice and by far better balanced and more approachable than the ED. For the later one, you have to cherish bitter and PM herbal notes very much to have a nice experience. That said, I personally prefers the much longer aged ED, even if price was not of any concern. Accounting for the current price levels I would go for 5+ bottles of the ED over the Velier any time 😁 Disclaimer: obviously it is a bit stupid to compare a 13y aged vs. a 20y aged PM from different vintages… given the lack of tropical aged PMs at my disposal (or availability in general) this will have to do for now, nevertheless 🙂
Review by tojo
Beautiful nose that releases many fruity aromas after some time. Plum, raisin, dried fruit. Black tea and lots of oak/roasted aromas. The wood notes are unfortunately very dominant on the palate. Also spices, leather and coffee. Plenty of tannins and leather on the finish.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A rough-and-ready rum. Yet the nose is very appealing, with the sweet and spicy notes of Dememara rums, fruity and woody aromas, tea and solvents. On the palate, the contrast is clear: this is a powerful, bitter rum, turning to wood, spices (licorice, ginger, chili and pepper), roasted and toasted flavors, coffee, dried fruit and tea. You can feel the 65%. A long finish continues the dry, spicy, woody framework of the palate, but adds tobacco, an appreciable hint of minty freshness and some dried and red fruits. An intense rum, difficult to tame and not for everyone.
Review by Tom Buteneers
Clearly Demerara, but more woody and heavier in the profile. Not as refined as other ones in the session. Alcohol stays present, but maybe not surprising at 65%…. One of the “lesser ones” in the line-up.
Review by Oliver
Great nose! A little too much punch on the palate.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Rum Nr. 500 in der App, deshalb etwas spezielleres aus der Vorratskiste. Die Nase ist relativ klassisch PM, etwas Tee, Honig, Mandel, Lösungsmittel, Kräuter. Riecht gut aber nicht ausergewöhnlich. Im Mund ist der Alkohol ziemlich vordergründig und nimmt viel Raum ein. Rauch, Kaffee, Piement mit ordentlich Holz. Der Abgang hält lange an und gibt eine gute Wärme. Haut mich jetzt nicht aus den Socken. Für 2006 und den Ausgabepreis sicher bemerkenswert. Ok, aber ich denke es gibt mittlerweile viele auf diesem Niveau.
Review by Jakob
It has a very similar basic profile to the two El Dorados from 97 and 99, but appears somewhat more balanced - far less acidity on the palate, but a little more wood and heavy sweetness. However, the alcohol is very present, which for me results in clear deductions. One of the weaker Velier Demeraras.
