Cadenhead's Port Mourant 1975

Prunes, dates and old dry wood, wrapped around a body so oily it coats the whole mouth — this is Port Mourant at its most concentrated. At 70.2% the alcohol barely registers; members keep marveling that "the 70% are perfectly integrated." One taster nailed the flavor as "bitter gingerbread." Not the most complex PM75 some have had, but among the most drinkable.

  • Huge oily body

How does Cadenhead's Port Mourant 1975 taste?

Summarized by AI from 14 community reviews.

Oily, concentrated Port Mourant at cask strength A near-unanimous rave from serious Demerara drinkers. The only knock: a few call it slightly less complex than other 1975s, with the classic prune note dialed back.

Phenomenal rum! The 70% are perfectly integrated and transport an incredible complexity and aromatics. Endless finish with a pleasant bitterness. Thank you Robert for this experience!

Definitely a unique opportunity to have by far the rarest PM 75 in your glass. Rumor has it that it is the best 75 🤔.... The nose starts rather atypically for me personally. I have a very molasses-like sweetness, brown sugar, caramel and vanilla. Dried plums are much less present than I'm usually used to from 75. Dates and raisins tend to dominate here. I also miss the typical wet and musty wood. Instead, I have old, dry wood and leather. Last but not least, there is a good portion of herbs. It's certainly not the most complex PM nose I've ever had, but it's definitely the most pleasant and without anything bothering me. However, the rum definitely plays its trump card in terms of taste, that's where its strength lies! Again, it's not the most complex for me. However, the more than 70% carry the rum over the tongue like a steamroller. It's pure taste, because at the same time you hardly notice the alcohol, really amazing! The rum takes over the entire mouth with a very nice sweetness and very, very oily.....echt lecker! The bitterness is not really noticeable here compared to other PMs. Is it the best PM 75 for me? Really hard to say. If I were only talking about the palate, definitely. However, the nose is not the best for me. There are also definitely more complex 75s for me. But the overall quality is right and the rum knows how to impress me, there's no question about that for me. Would I buy this rum? Yup, definitely 😃😃. But there's no question in my mind that this will never happen 95 well-deserved points
