$199.00
El Dorado Port Mourant Uitvlugt 2010 Orange is a molasses rum from Guyana. It was distilled at Diamond, on the banks of the Demerara River, the only distillery still active in the country. This distillery has the particularity of having brought together all the stills of the old plantations of Guyana, which have now disappeared. Among these stills, the famous wooden pot-still from Port Mourant, and the 4 columns from Uitvlugt.
The assembly of these two “marks” (PM and ICBU) was carried out before ageing, hence the term “blended in the barrel”. Distillation took place in 2010, and the rum was bottled cask strength in 2019.
Tasting Note
The nose is dominated by dark, roasted and somewhat ethereal hues. It takes a few moments for the cloud of smoke to thin out, to reveal pretty grilled nuts with coconut accents.
With aeration, the rum confirms its roasted inclination and details notes of toast, strong coffee, then muscovado and licorice stick.
The palate is soft and offers a very fluid texture on the attack. We then see a more concentrated wave, roasted and astringent, made of roundly coated nuts, coffee, then toasted white wood. The vanilla that escapes from this roast shows a sweeter side that comes with time.
The finish is round and gently spicy. The oak is tender, and its fiber flows like syrup.
