Sipped neat, this old Port Mourant leans surprisingly sweet and fruity — think piña colada, overripe tropical fruit and brown sugar on the nose, with toffee, dried fruit, coffee and a light smoky note underneath. Several tasters call out a distinct gummy-bear sweetness. A long finish and a huge 36 years in cask, though a few find the palate thinner and less layered than the nose promises.

How does Velier Port Mourant PM 1972 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Sweet, fruity old Demerara with a long finish Loved for its fruity, piña-colada nose and long finish, but opinions split: some find the sweet palate a touch one-dimensional and thin next to the legendary 1974/75 Port Mourants.

19.11.2025 Retasting this before giving my birthday sample a go. Still love it 😊 ---------- I got his one in the morning and just couldn't wait, so I poured one and left it for a bit over 30 minutes. The flavour was there from opening the bottle but after resting the flavours just seemed to pour out of the glass. A wonderful rum even though it made a huge hole in my wallet. If you ever get the chance of a sampler, give it a go because it's really something you should try.
Review by Jakob
Absolutely exceptional - very sweet-fruity. On the nose, pina colada with subtle wood notes. On the palate, the very present sweetness remains present and becomes a little too dominant for me overall, from which mE also suffers the complexity. Exciting bottling, but is not for me in the Demerara Olympus.
Review by Johannes
Great gummy bear note!
Review by Oliver
Extremely unusual rum! Fruity, tart, pina colada - crazy...
Review by ArminK
Thanks to Egon for the special sample. Actually exactly my taste but a bit too little of everything. The nose is promising and very balanced. On the palate then the light sweetness with fruit and some gummy bears. Coffee and a slight smoky note. Very nice long finish. Unfortunately the price for a 70cl sampler is too high for the enjoyment.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Old Velier Demerara rums are the best you can taste in the rum world. Rums aged rather accidentally for several years in the tropics and nobody topped up the cask contents. The angel's share was 90% or more, which is why the taste is especially full and intense. Even though it's an extra expensive affair, I recommend trying a rum from this series at least once in your life.

Expert review by Rob Bauer
Neat, balanced rum. But somewhat one-dimensional and thin. No comparison to the 1974 and 1975 vintages....strongly overrated.
Expert review by The Dunder Hut
A quality nose of overripe and old fruits brown sugar and some vanilla. But the palate reveals under complexity with only some smoky cask, toffee and some dried fruits. Finishes with woody tobacco and leaves more to be desired
