DDL El Dorado Single Still Port Mourant 2009 40%
The El Dorado Single Still Port Mourant is a 40% ABV rum distilled in 2009 by Demerara Distillers Ltd in Guyana. It showcases classic Port Mourant characteristics with key notes of molasses, licorice, and a smoky finish. Users highlight aromas of dried fruit and tea. While it presents an interesting complexity, its lower ABV is seen to dilute some of the richness typical of full-strength Port Mourant rums. Ideal for newcomers to Demerara profiles, this rum delivers an approachable, smooth experience but may lack the depth experienced enthusiasts prefer. Suggestions indicate a higher ABV could elevate its flavor.

“As with the EHP and VSG, a great nose that unfortunately - thanks to extreme dilution - cannot deliver on the palate as it actually could. Apart from the dilution, a beautiful PM with sweetness, licorice/aniseed, fruit, wood and without the often disturbing saltiness or too much herbs. It may have been sweetened a little here.”

“Well I was very exited to try those single still releases… this is exactly what I would hope for DDL released on a larger scale (and hopefully at a half reasonable price). All three show the common characteristics you would expect and love about DDL‘s stills. No need for blended in the barrel / finishes / obscure leftover casks. Unfortunately, the reduction to 40% ABV is basically a crime against humanity 🙈 While the noses are surprisingly intense, on the palate all three releases are way to thin to deliver the profile competently. Nevertheless all seem in a good place after 12 years of tropical aging and as there are also limited higher ABV bottles available there is a chance for genuinely amazing OB release from DDL in the future. Fingers crossed.”

“Today we compare three El Dorado from 2009. Port Mourant RX13844, Enmore RX13123 and Versailles RX14577. Unfortunately, they are all reduced to 40%, otherwise something very good could have emerged. A little too thin for me personally. Otherwise, quite successful bottlings for an introduction to the El Dorado universe, although I would prefer the El Dorado 12,15 or 21 here.”
