Port Mourant S.B.S Guyana 2020 PM
Sip it slow or build a powerful Tiki drink around it — at 66.4% this young Port Mourant runs hot. Two years in virgin oak packed in loads of young wood, pepper, nutmeg and herbs, with the classic PM aniseed-caramel underneath. Several tasters call it a bold experiment; some love the fruity zing, others wish it had aged longer.
The community says- Big oak in 2 years
- Classic PM notes
- But: Very hot alcohol

How does Port Mourant S.B.S Guyana 2020 PM taste?
Aggregated from 51 community reviews.
Hot, young PM, virgin-oak forward A young, feisty PM where virgin oak dominates fast. Most find it a fun, wood-forward experiment; the recurring wish is more aging to tame the heat and let the fruit breathe.

The nose opens with juicy pastries. Nice PM sweetness on the palate again. And again dry and salty on the finish. The rum spans a diverse range of flavors and therefore makes it into the 80+ region for me. Overall, a good example to get to know the PM profile.

Not mine at all. Citrus drain cleaner with a pungent neutral alcohol base. Everyone else who tasted the rum thought it was at least ok. Not me. Sorry. But I'm always skeptical about Virgin Cask, it can quickly go wrong.
Review by Oliver
Wow, what 2 years of young oak has brought in here is exciting! Still a little wild on the palate - but definitely fun! Nice sweetness, herbs and some roastiness from the barrel. Slight salty note on the finish. An exciting experiment.
Review by Johannes
After tasting it for the third time, I have to correct my rating. I like it. The Virgin Oak gave off nice wood notes. In principle, of course, a PM can stand a long storage. This one could also stand a longer aging. But for the scarce two years he can already something!
Review by DomM
Colour of the SBS is significantly lighter vs. The Nectar. On the nose both clearly deliver (unaged) PM notes. However the cask influence on The Nectar is much more noticeable as the colour suggested. Clear point for The Nectar. On the palate, this SBS is significantly sweeter and more „virgin oak forward“ so to say. Alcohol is better integrated vs. The Nectar. While there are also (oaky) sweet notes and vanilla, The Nectar delivers a much darker profile which is more noticeable PM. Overall a hint to sharp for my liking.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Surprisingly mild taste for 2y young and the high alcohol content! Nice combo of herbs, baking spices, ripe apple and young wood and milk chocolate, and some sea salt and nutmeg. Impressive for such a short time in the barrel.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
First off this is a very young PM and it rocks considering the age and price tag. Sweet and spicy at the same time well mixed with some fruits and caramel. The palate is warm/intense in a good way and I wonder would have happened to it if 18 years had been added to it 😊
Review by mto75
nussig, junges Holz, Kräuter und Karamel an der Nase. Am Gaumen Muskatnuss, pfeffrig-scharf, junges Holz, Zartbitterschokolade. Interessantes Experiment, aber nicht ganz so mein Fall.
Review by Christoph
Alcohol as expected after 2 years there. But it is fantastic how much flavor this rum has already drawn from the Virgin Oak barrel in such a short time. Great rum for outstanding tiki drinks with power.
Review by DosenZorn
An der Nase recht verschlossen. Nougat, frisches Holz, süße Schokolade und eine Kräuterige Note fallen am ehesten auf. Am Gaumen recht alkoholisch. Holzig, Pfeffer und Kräuter stehen im Vordergrund. Leider ein schlechtes Beispiel für eine Reifung in Virgin Oak.
Review by Filip Šikula
Alkohol je vzhledem ke krátké době zrání velmi neuklidněn. Intenzivní tóny virgin dubu jsou propsány do vůně i chuti. V chuti jsou sladké tóny promíchané s pepřovostí. Potud je to celkem fajn. Závěr je alkolicky a až nepříjemně pálivý.
Review by Thunderbird
On the nose, this PM is clearly more restrained than the Nectar! The palate, on the other hand, is very intense...the barrel is already amazingly clear to taste...but on a pleasant side...not too bitter or tannin-heavy. Initially, a nice sweetness spreads before the barrel influence comes to light. The alcohol is already very well integrated!The finish is clearly on the woody, herbaceous side!I like the Nectar better than the S.B.S though.
Review by Nivius
Schöner Mixer, aber das Virginoak hätte sich noch etwas mehr anstrengen können - etwas süße merkt man aber idr. schmeckt man das gewohnheitsgenäß intensiver raus, wenn die Eiche noch Jungfräulich war. Zum pur - Trinken ist er mir noch etwas zu langweilig. Man merkt aber, dass er durchaus Potential gehabt hätte, wenn man ihn da noch ein wenig länger vor sich hin reifen lassen hätte. Da ist schon diese Guyana-Lakritz-Karamell-Note, die ist aber noch echt schwach und dann kommen im Abgang noch Kräuternoten dazu. Mein Problem mit diesem Rum ist, dass er wie eine Raupe ist, der man es nicht erlaubt hat, ein Schmetterling zu werden, nachdem sie sich bereits verpuppt hat.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Very Port Mourant in the nose. Classic aniseed. Some floral notes. Lots of alcohol in the taste at first. Needs some time. Peppery. Only 2 years. Some punch. Virgin oak is noticable. Very noticable. A feisty fiery dram. Not too bad. This could be really good after a few years and some angel share. It's more of a one trick pony now.
Review by Christian Rudt
The new barrel hits here full and you really have to take small sips otherwise you are fully landed in the wood department. for me it is a bit too coining here, but Virgin oak is definitely interesting I look forward to the high ester experiments of S.B.S.😊
Review by Serge
Schmeckt mir sehr gut und das Virnig Oak hat in 2 Jahren wirklich gute Arbeit verrichtet. Alkohol ist da aber – vor allem für das Alter – im Rahmen. Leckerer Mix aus PM und Bourbon-Noten.
Review by Alex Kunath
Mir ein wenig zu scharf im Alkohol. Das Kraut auf der Zunge ist iO.
Review by Jonas
Für meinen Geschmack deutlich hinter dem Nectar.
Review by Wernie
Der Alkohol ist allgegenwärtig, aber nicht störend. Es ist erstaunlich wie viel das Fass in den 2 Jahren schon bewirkt hat. Mir gefällt er echt gut. In der Nase noch recht kräuterig,nussig und diese feine Nougatsüße,schlägt am Gaumen das Fass gut rein,viel junges Holz,Röstaromen, erstaunlich süß und diese feine Schokoladennoten die ich so mag. Er entfernt sich holzig mit einer Messerspitze Salz.
Review by Lot-NAS
I was positively surprised on the palate, it’s fruity, with great wood influences and balanced surprisingly well. The nose is a little bit off putting and not really inviting (dry cardboard, penzil, mushrooms).
Review by Richard Krupa
Propojení sldkosti a dřevitosti, karamel
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Sehr kräftig und fordernd. Eine längere Lagerung hätte dem Rum sicherlich gut getan.
Review by seefarr
Love this! The perfect amount of young oak. The short maturation really lets the fruity flavours zing.
Review by Ondřej Sova
Odpovídá l, ale 66,4% je už fakt moc.
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Trade fair tasting, therefore shorter: Stunning what goes down here for just two years and 66%. The nose is very complex to chaotic, but in the best sense. Chocolate and apple. Very warm in the mouth, but not unpleasantly alcoholic, more in the direction of ginger. Young wood, nutmeg, a hint of mocha and lots of herbs. Madness what has happened here in just 2 years.

Amazing how much flavor a heavy burn Virgin Oak barrel gives off in two years. The alcohol still stands out quite a bit. Nice experiment
