Port Mourant 13 Years Old Guyana Demerara Rum 51% Silver Seal Whisky Company

Port Mourant - Demerara
13 Years old Guyana Rum 51%

In Guyana there are the last two original Wooden Pot Stills in the world - one goes by the name "Port Mourant". For over 250 years these have been used to produce "Demerara Navy Rum" for the British Navy and are thus the epitome of classic Navy Rum.

The double Wooden Pot Still (Port Mourant) originates from the Port Mourant Estate, which was founded in 1732. In 1964 the still was moved to the Uitvlugt Estate and in 2000 it came to the Diamond Distillery.

To this day, Port Mourant Still produces the same type of rum as back in the olden days, a type of rum that is valued by rum blenders and aficionados worldwide. The rums are rich in flavor and possess a very deep aroma - the old Green Heartwood which makes up the majority of the cauldrons still plays a large role in developing the flavor characteristics.

Massimo Righi has now acquired a cask of rum produced by Port Mourant Still from Demerara Distillers in Guyana. It is the first rum from Port Mourant to be bottled under the Silver Seal brand, if we disregard the two 37-year-old bottlings bottled in 2013.
