Chocolate, roasted wood and coffee up front, with dried fruit and a caramel edge underneath — a darker, drier Guyana than the demerara syrup you might expect from the ICBU mark. Most tasters find it pleasant and well-composed, but two things come up again and again: the body reads thin, and the alcohol never fully settles in despite 24 years in the cask.
The community says- Chocolate & coffee notes
- Dried fruit, roasted wood
- Keep in mind: Thin body

How does Uitvlugt S.B.S Guyana ICBU 1998 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Cocoa-and-wood Guyana, thin and a bit hot A likeable, wood-and-cocoa Uitvlugt that most rate in the low 80s. The recurring gripe: it drinks thin and a touch hot, with the alcohol not quite integrated for its age.

Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Most helpful positive review
Now already tasted several times on different days (my only ICBU), is still not more to get out of this rum - it remains a rum in the lower 80 points range.While on the nose in the later course nice walnut notes peek out of the initial sweetness, the rum can not really convince me on the palate: As crazyforgoodbooze already wrote here, the rum seems strangely thin and alcoholic at the same time. This ICBU is not bad, but also truly no sensation. Conclusion: for the relatively high price of at least 200 EUR, there are clearly better rums. Too bad.

A very light color, a nose dominated by alcohol, with wood, varnish, banana and a light encaustic. The alcohol is better integrated on the palate, but the aromas don't really develop. Despite the high ABV, there's a sense of dilution, with ghostly aromas of varnished wood, stale rose and a few tropical fruits that linger for a long time. The empty glass exudes encaustic wood. It's as if the bartender had replaced the bottled rum with neutral alcohol so as not to get caught.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a pretty good Uitvlugt and the price matches the quality. Dried fruit and roasted wood stands perfectly next to nuts, chocolate and some coffee notes.
Review by Vincent D
Very sweet and greedy profile on the nose. One could believe in a Ron. Coffee, chocolate, wood.In the mouth, it's very soft and round, with a bitterness brought by coffee or dark chocolate.Finish on the same notes.Good, but quite effete finally. I expected much more expressive.
Review by Benoit Mahe
A good Guyana but lacking character, power, length, and texture to make it a top rum. The alcohol could be better integrated.
Review by Jakob
Can not convince me completely. Keeps despite the long aging time still a fresh green note, in addition join sweetness and especially spices. The wood is primarily noticeable through smokiness, which also gives the rum some bitterness. Unfortunately, the alcohol is not completely integrated, but also therefore not completely convincing for me.
Review by Thunderbird
A very good, pleasant to drink Uitvlugt! Balanced, not too woody or bitter and nice fruit notes.
Review by Filip Šikula
On the nose initially definitely a very sweet profile, caramel, chocolate, later nuts appear. On the palate it seems a bit unnecessarily thin at first, but later dried fruit, smoked wood, and not very integrated alcohol show up.
Review by mto75
Destroying a few old samples... on the nose dried fruits, red apple, caramel and cask influence. On the palate candied fruits, toasted, a bit sharp-edged, despite only medium ABVs. Expected a bit more.
Review by Filip Kalinovský
Vcelku prijemny rum , nasladla vube s tropickymi a korenenymi tony. Chut trosku sem byl zaskocen ne prilis dobrou integraci alkoholu v rumu na jeho vek. Prijde mi jako kdyby naredeny , ale chut i presto velmi dobra po tropickem ovoci, lekorici a dalsim koreni. Lepsi ho nechat trosku nadechnout potom vyleze vice chuti a vubi. Konec je stredne dlouhy
Review by Mopar Rules
the nose is on the nutty side combined with caramel and herbal notes. On the palate more bitterness and dominant wood. Still nicely balanced and well integrated abv. Nice rum, but as we know, nice is the little sister of…
Review by Mentalo
Alcohol could be better integrated. It still bothers even if you give it some time. Otherwise quite an interesting profile. Slight sweetness, licorice, a bit nutty. But also somewhat thin and little depth for the age.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Does not really pick me up somehow, seems slightly watered down and yet slightly alcoholic.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 1998. I rate it 8.6 out of 10, an excellent rum that ranks high even among my more than 1,300 ratings.
Review by Kamil Křenek
Guyana is just very good
Review by Serge
Even before the poor alcohol integration, what bothers me here primarily is the lack of creaminess/texture. Value for money rather questionable.
Review by Jindrich Strobl
Balanced, dry, nice wooden notes. Just enough strong. Excellent!
Review by Johannes
Like most '98 Guyana, this one unfortunately does not meet my taste either. For me, too poorly integrated alcohol, too much licorice, not round enough. Seems very young despite the 24 years.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
I know that it would be crime to read Modern Caribian Rum book with a drymouth, so here we are... This rum did sit in the glass for a good 20 minutes before the review. On the nose: Woody and roasted notes of cacao, light coffee. Dried fruits. Little bit of sweetness from caramel/burnt sugar. Little bit of glue notes in the body. Little bit of thin notes in overall. Taste: Now, this is thin and abv could be integrated better. Woody, roasted, cacao, chocolate, coffee with some sweetness from brown sugar/caramel. Finish: Roasted, woody and light coffee. Dry and mineral finish. First time tasting of any ICBU mark rum. It got better over the time that i was tasting it and it has some good notes, but the thinness of the tasting notes and abv integration dropped the score for me and i could not justify buying this bottle at that price point after this tasting.

J’aime vraiment pas ce profil de Guyana. Trop réglissé, trop astringent, solvants.
