Rum Nation Port Mourant Small Batch Rare Rums 1999
Guyana fans who love the classic Port Mourant wood-and-anise profile will find something extra here: a sherry finish that layers in dried plum, raisin and dark berries. Nose is the highlight for most — deep, spiced, floral. The palate leans dry, woody and spicy with coffee, tobacco and a firm bitterness. A few note the alcohol integration could be tighter, but at 57.4% it stays balanced.
The community says- Deep sherry nose
- Dried fruit depth
- Keep in mind: Some bitterness

Sherry-finished Port Mourant, dry and spicy Widely loved as one of the best non-Velier Port Mourants — sherry adds real depth over the classic wood and anise. A few find the bitterness or alcohol slightly unbalanced.

Retasting with the guys from RumX. ------ This one is intense, fruity and naturally sweet with some caramel and light spices. The palate is dry and spicy/warm. I don't get the cola note, but in the empty glass i can pick up some sherry and coffee.

very relaxed PM, where the sherry finish is incorporated to perfection and does not dominate too much. excellent as an easy sipper, but just not enough character to be so really horny and unique. 🙏
Review by Mirco
Typical Port Mourant hints with dark fruits, wood and spice. Very complex and a lot of fun. Compared to a qualitatively similar Velier, very cheap to buy. Of course, here we are dealing with a continental instead of a tropical rum.
Review by cigares
An ample nose of dark, woody scents, with oak and also cedar wood, dried fruit and prune compote. Sherry and pineapple add freshness and balance. Flavors jostle on the palate, with a lively but not dominant alcohol content. The freshness is more pronounced than on the nose, with menthol. A less complex palate at first, but everything balances out in a few seconds. The finish is long, with fruit, pineapple, stewed fruit and dried fruit, menthol and a slight sweetness that must come from the Sherry cask. A fine rum, complex and evolving. The boisterousness of the palate clearly loses it points.
Review by Joachim Guger
For me, the best continental aged Port Mourant to date. Far from thin and "top-heavy". The profile is remotely reminiscent of the El Dorado 15, but without its weaknesses.
Review by CHM
For my taste an excellent Port Mourant. The sherry finish fits perfectly here. It adds another level of complexity to the rum and gives it a certain something, a grace and elegance that I usually associate more with older spirits. The finish is beautifully strong and aromatic. For me, this rum is somewhat underrated. I've already had it as a blind sample at meetings. The rum generally scored better than the current RumX rating.
Review by Frank
In the nose muted fruity aromas of currant and cherry but also light citrus note, most likely tangerine. In addition, but also caramel, distantly reminiscent of cola, but seems quite fresh, slightly woodyOn the palate, this ingenious flavor development: from slightly bitter to fresh fruity to sweet-woody, dark chocolate is also there.In the finish remains tangerine, nice woodA really great drop, even if it can not keep up with the Veliers...
Review by Timo Groeger
Alte Post pub in Witten, February 2025. The next great Rum Nation, this time a Port Mourant. Nice nose, especially wood and sherry are recognizable. Lots of wood and spice on the palate and also some coffee.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A rather unusual Port Mourant, finished in sherry casks, which confused me during tasting. The sherry is omnipresent, with notes of berry, plum, prune and exotic fruit, almost concealing the identity of Port Mourant. The typical spicy woodiness (aniseed, chili pepper) develops gradually, with an unexpected freshness on the floral and herbaceous side. The whole is greedy and welcoming to the nostrils. On the palate, the dominance of sherry and its red and dried fruits is more contested, notably by well-roasted wood, spices (chili, aniseed, salt), tobacco and leather. Hints of caramel and aromatic herbs are also present. The sherry adds real value, this fruitier side complementing the Port Mourant profiles. The alcohol is very well integrated. The finish is long, caught up in the origins of the still with its tannic, bitter and herbaceous side. Dark chocolate, salt, toasted wood, caramel and fruit (red and dried) add warmth, body and intensity. A real surprise, proof that finishes can radically transform a rum, and here in a positive way.
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
A wonderful Port Mourant. A nose to sink into, dangerous drinking flow despite complex aromas. One of my absolute favorite rums. The nose is very mature, spicy, slightly herbaceous. Cardboard, aniseed and sage. The fruit is very dry and ripe, after raisiny sherry still some dried plums and crumbly, dark yellow, slightly spiced baked apple. The sherry comes through more clearly in the mouth, the fruit recedes even further. Wood, wet wood, aniseed - very Port Mourant, without this yellow fruitiness and also without this partly maritime saltiness. Instead, some bitter coffee, tobacco. Alcohol integration could be a little better. The palate unfortunately falls somewhat short of the phenomenal nose. The attack is long with already integrated tannins. An excellent rum
Review by Andi
Great dried fruit on the nose, raisin, intense. Dried fruit on the palate, initially a pleasant light sweetness, coffee, chocolate. Then a pleasant light bitterness on the finish. Great fun!
Review by Oliver
Really great PM! Salty caramel, nice bitterness. Harmonious sherry influence.
Review by Felix Reiber
Here I have a very tasty Port Mourant, from whose 17 years of aging the very best has been extracted. On the nose I have wonderful fruit notes of dried plum, tropical fruits, apricot, berries and dried fruit. Dark caramel, oak, herbs and anise make the nose very complex and exciting. On the palate comes a pleasant spiciness with wood, baking spices and barrel influence, which is then expanded by caramelized raisins, sherry, dried fruits and roasted notes. Coffee, tobacco, anise and a honey-like sweetness create a multi-layered taste experience that perfectly reflects the Port Mourant character. The long finish is spicy, intense and offers besides the sherry also mandarin, cherry wood, tannins and herbs. This extremely delicious PM is a must for all Guyana fans! Thanks to @DrDjango for the great sample 😃
Review by Boletus
Immediately after pouring, the strong scent of dried fruit sherry made me suspect an overpowering cask influence, which luckily was just as unfounded as a feared sulfur contamination. Instead, this is a continental aged Port Mourant that develops a remarkable depth due to its very harmonious connection with the sherry cask, reaching tropical maturation levels. Delicious!
Review by Tschusikowsky
Great PM, compared to the 1998 from Nation it feels much lighter. More berries noticeable. I find the profile very fitting and recognizable: vegetal, floral with nuts and tropical fruits. Very tasty and almost easy to drink. Feels very accessible, finish holds well.
Review by Johannes
One of my favorite PMs in terms of price-performance ratio. The sherry finish gives the rum a depth reminiscent of 75 PMs.
Review by Thunderbird
Very tasty PM with an obvious sherry finish
Review by Basti
The nose reminds me of a Long Pond with fruity notes of mango. On the palate, it's more on the bitter spicy side. Alcohol well integrated.
Review by Alex1981
Solid PM, nice complexity and balance. Dry and slight spicyness, plus dark fruits. Sherry influence works well with the distillate. Yummy!
Review by Snorre Brouer
I am not quite following the other great reviews this rum has. Don't get me wrong, it's good, I just don't feel it's close to 90. It tastes clearly of Port Mourant, but has a overwhelning bitternes that makes the rum a little unbalanced. The sherry influence lifts this rum a lot.
Review by Tom Buteneers
Sweet-salty, special profile with sherry influences. Tasty
Review by Tim Reiber
Nice sherry nose with propolis, oak, dried plums and caramel. I also smell floral scents consisting of citrus fruits (mandarin), almond blossoms and spices. On the palate then more honey and dark toast. Herbal tea and mandarins are also clear and later clearly turn into lychee, which becomes extremely noticeable again in the very late finish. The roasted finish is long and sweet. Light herbs, oak and honey are clearly accompanied by lychee.
Review by Winetrader
Probably a rather rare Rum, the bottle has a special label! I find this Rum really very good and very pleasant in the mouth, it is very aromatic and does not destroy the palate.
Review by Nicolas Kröger
Intense sherry, very oxidative in the most positive sense. Extreme cask influence that you have to like.
Review by Vidaa Wz
Not necessarily comfortable with port mourant, I nevertheless note cherry notes surely brought by the cask, woody notes, bitterness, berries and caramel. The whole is harmonious and powerful with a lot of complexity. I think the value for money was there.
Review by Pavel Spacek
The best non-Velier PM I have ever tasted! Complex, round = WOW!
Review by Icebird
A very wonderful Port Mourant that got a sherry finish at the end. It is very intense, has beautiful sherry depth and good cask influence :). I can highly recommend this rum if you can still find it 😉

Unfortunately can't quite keep up with SBS PM 1998 (also Sherry Finish)
