Uitvlugt (Port Mourant) S.B.S Guyana 1990
Sip this neat and give it air — most tasters say to let it rest 15 minutes and it opens right up. Dark, heavy Port Mourant: wet leather, tobacco, licorice, dried prunes and a lot of oak. Several found it dry and a touch bitter, with the wood having taken over the fruit after 30 years. Complex and a bit demanding.
- Complex, layered
- Wet leather, licorice
- Opens up beautifully

Aggregated from 53 community reviews.
Dark, woody old PM that needs time A deep, woody old Demerara people enjoy but debate — many love the leather-and-licorice complexity, while several feel the oak now dominates and the fruit fades, leaving it dry and bitter.

Review by BTHHo 🥃
After one tasting, I just had to own and taste the S.B.S Guyana vintage again. A very nuanced and multifaceted rum that offers a rich tapestry of flavors and aromas that develop with time in the glass 💪🏻👍🏻
Review by Maxence
Amazing dark Port Mourant profile. That's how I love them 🥰 Best one I have ever tasted besides Velier releases 👌
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
Update: in crosstasting with the new colored 1990 PM from Distilia. The SBS and the Distilia don't have much in common. The moisture is clearer and the smoky bitterness is less, which scores a few points. In the meantime, however, with the Silver Seal 1975, I know completely different PM calibers and this one - my first old PM at the time - has to give up a few points. My first long-matured Port Mourant. It's hard to believe that it comes from the same still as my young Diamond. The rum has a fantastic balance of complexity and balance. Very mature dark aromas. The palate starts with mocha and cocoa beans, leather and then...bam!: just before the finish, a new, grandiose, intense, salty facet is added, which remains in the finish and for which I unfortunately have no words: malty aniseed, menthol and red wine gravy perhaps. And now the sample is empty and I can't figure it out 🤤😭🤤
Review by Rodolphe
Blind tasting. Guyana without hesitation. At first, the Pruneau and the leather remind me directly of an old Enmore or an old Versailles. Then a hint of bitterness comes on top. I'm surprised to discover a PM here, it's the first I've tasted in this style. I like it, even if it's still rather bitter.
Review by Aussierumfan
A lovely properly old Demerara! Dark and heavy, plenty of wood which I don't mind. Leather, dark chocolate and a great complexity. Detected some fruits but the wood has probaly started to take over. Definitly give this one some time to open up, I tried it straight out the bottle, then sat the glass for 15 minutes, amazing what a difference it makes! Brings out a lot more flavour. Smells great, I got some aniseed on the nose and it had a lengthy finish. I bought the set of 4 x 200ml sample bottles when they where released in 2021, just getting around to trying them and I am not dissapointed with this one! Looking forward to trying the 1994, 2001 and 2003 in due course.
Review by Andi
Super long finish and mega complex, lots of wood and bitter tones, slight hint of mint. This is definitely a rum that you should spend more time with to explore its full potential. Really fun in the glass!
Review by Jakob
Loses a few points because the wood influence is already a bit too dominant and the fruitiness remains much too restrained - but overall still a great Guyana rum, even if probably already over its zenith.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Very round and soft, if you also strongly notice the wood. Compared to some other old representatives but hardly bitter, which I find great.
Review by DomM
Leaning very much towards dark and woody notes. I think this one could particularly appeal to scotch fans.
Review by Basti
In der Nase sticht anfangs der Alkohol etwas, was sich jedoch mit der Zeit legt und überwiegend holzige, röstige Noten rücken in den Vordergrund. Am Gaumen ziemlich trocken und fast schon leicht adstringend. Wenig Frucht, dafür viel Röstaromen, Holz, Leder, Karamell, Lakritz und eine leichte Bitterkeit. Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden.
Review by mto75
in one of the sample boxes still discovered this treasure...have the rum first air well, then come on the nose dried fruit, herbal notes, tobacco and something that reminds me of apple cider or Federweisser. On the palate coffee, barrel, rather dry and also a little bitter in the finish. A really very long matured PM, perhaps already a little too long...
Review by Johannes
Unfortunately, the rum has already passed its zenith in the barrel and lacks the typical fruity PM notes. For this dominate bitter notes. Unfortunately not my case!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Leave to rest for around 15 minutes and you'll be bombarded with flavours.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Very nice. Very own character, 1A PM profile. On the nose: grassy notes and bamboo dumpling steamer. On the palate, you can taste the age. For me, a bit more sweetness could have gone in to balance the yet very earthy profile. Great flavors unfold on the palate.
Review by Christoph
Has a slowly unfolding mild sweetness and spiciness that hides behind complex tobacco and wood notes. Considering the high price, I definitely liked the 1989 Uitvlugt from RA better, purely in terms of taste, both are on a similarly high level.
Review by Tom Buteneers
Thanks Christoph!
Review by Harald
Color: Bright mahogany Aroma: Creamy and soft after fine wood, tobacco and licorice. Smoky Taste: Round. Smoky with ash, tobacco, leather and licorice. Finish: Long Toffee, woody with tannins. 88 points
Review by Dirk Becker
If you take your time to discover it, you will love it
Review by tojo
Ein sehr kräftiger, ausgereifter PM mit überwiegend holzigen, bitteren Noten. Kann in der S.B.S Guyana Serie das hohe Niveau eines Enmore oder Skeldon nicht ganz halten.

"Very long finish. Multifaceted, full-bodied and elegant. A rum at its zenith. A very great drop. For me personally, unfortunately, clearly too expensive."
