High Spirits Collection Port Mourant Fine Old Demerara Rum 1975
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

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 Johannes
Very high level, compared to the Velier rounder, fruitier, a little less power and complexity.

Review by Pavel Spacek
Macimum caramel, burnt sugar, leather. Alcohol is integrated, but the other tastes than caramel disappear fast.
