One taster called it "unfassbar elegant" — and the notes back it up: very dark, heavy sweetness, tons of wood, spice, licorice, plum and dark chocolate over a coffee edge. Classic Port Mourant weight, distilled 1975 and left in cask for 32 years. Dense and concentrated, the way old Demerara fans hope for. A rare, well-aged bottle from a smaller independent bottler.
The community says- Deep dark sweetness
- Wood and licorice
- Long chocolate finish

Dark, wood-and-licorice old Port Mourant sipper People who tried it rate it very highly — dense, elegant and balanced, packed with wood, caramel and licorice. One reviewer noted the caramel dominates and the other flavors fade fast.

Review by Jakob
Absolute top class from Guyana and the pinnacle of the 1975 vintage. Leather, molasses, tobacco, licorice, dried fruits, anise, and allspice, dark chocolate, a bit of fresh coffee beans – the list could go on and on. Remarkable is the abundance of aromas considering the comparatively low alcohol content – here the reduction worked at its best. A true delight!
Review by Johannes
Very high level, compared to the Velier rounder, fruitier, a little less power and complexity.
Review by Mirco
Super nice bottling. Mega dark tones with extremely heavy sweetness and an almost endless bouquet! Lots of wood, spices, yet fruit and caramel... It was endless fun! Thanks to the noble donor!

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Mega stuff!! Incredibly elegant, complex and balanced. Absolutely awesome liquid. Dense, concentrated and super intense. Really unique Port Mourant from an underdog independent bottler who delivers all the way.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Maximum caramel, burnt sugar, leather. Alcohol is integrated, but the other tastes than caramel disappear fast. EDIT: second tasting. There are also raisins and prunes. And caramel. Little bit of leather. The taste is nice, but disappear faster compared to 9/10 old demeraras
