CoR Uitvlugt Guyana Ed. 3 1989
Longtime Demerara drinkers are the crowd here: a 32-year Uitvlugt at 64% that fills the mouth with roasted malt, dark chocolate, licorice, pencil shavings and dried plum. Several tasters call the alcohol beautifully integrated for the strength, and the palate wins them over even when the nose runs quiet. The recurring gripe is wood and tannin tipping into bitterness and black-tea territory.
The community says- Oily concentrated palate
- Integrated 64% alcohol
- But: Wood and tannins

How does CoR Uitvlugt Guyana Ed. 3 1989 taste?
Aggregated from 41 community reviews.
Old, oily Demerara heavyweight, wood-heavy finish Loved by Port Mourant fans for its oily, concentrated palate and well-buried 64% heat. The catch several note: bitterness, wood and tea can pile up too high for some.

Review by Frank
Venerable old and so full-bodied. Intense and delicious on the nose, totally awesome: spicy, slightly woody yet fruity. A mix of tropical fruits, especially papaya, black currant and cherry. Plus a pleasant freshness with mint, light wood acidity and a touch of vinegar. Sweetness of maple syrup and forest honey as well as toffee and milk chocolate.Palate: wow, what intense complexity. And very tasty. Woody already, but not at all distracting. It starts off tart through this, slightly bitter and immediately has an intense toasty, nutty, chocolaty and mocha-like aromatic texture. Slightly minty and and licorice at the same time. A subtle tobacco note alongside malty, dark and caramel flavors. This nose and the taste curve are already very good for me
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
In crosstasting with RX7791 and RX3567 the most surprising rum - a wolf in sheep's clothing.Nose: weak, barely perceptible, disappointing in direct comparison to the other two tasted rumsPalate: Wow! A stunner! What the nose lacks in depth, the palate more than makes up for, which is why the rum is even the test winner today. . The high alcohol content and the relatively long tropical maturation are clearly noticeable in a positive way.a wonderfully oily rum with bite (on the palate).
Review by DomM
Small 1989 Utivlugt cross tasting: Nobilis vs. CorCol vs. CoR vs. Ricci vs. TWJ. On the nose: CoR >>> Ricci > TWJ = Nob > CC With its higher ABV the CoR is playing in a wholly different league - stunning on the nose. CC needs very much time to open up. TWJ with the darkest nose; Most leather and wood forwards. Palate: CoR > Nobilis > CC > TWJ >> Ricci Given its higher ABV, the CoR plays in a different league vs. the reduced bottlings. Clear winner out of the batch.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Great Uitvlugt 89! While some of its brothers are a little weak on the chest, the oldest of them comes with over 64% and therefore plenty of steam. Well integrated, the alcohol then provides what the Artesanal rum, for example, lacks: complexity and, above all, depth and fullness in the mouth. Surprisingly spicy and woody, with nutty aromas and coffee, this Uitvlugt only fully reveals its DNA towards the end of the palate. All in all, a successful bottling!
Review by Jakob
Aromatically close to the comparable releases of the same Marques from 1989. Age, alcohol content and cask influence are clearly more present here, which is why it needs some oxidation before the distillate unfolds in full bloom. The result is a tart and powerful rash of the already very distinctive PM profile; the tart note has taken on almost too much importance here for my liking, but overall the release undoubtedly represents great quality.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Sehr schwer, sehr alt und konzentriert. Dörrpflaume, Lakritz, gerösteter Malz, Lederschuhe, verbranntes Karamell, Brombeeren und Bleistiftspähne, sehr trocken und langanhaltend. Alkohol ziemlich gut integriert und generell ziemlich lecker! Für meinen Geschmack dennoch zu viel Holz und zu viele Tannine und Bitternesss.
Review by alex
Superbe jus de COR , belle complexité et très belle longueur 😍 J’ai l’impression que le pruneau domine légèrement mais c’est très bon et très agréable. Bcp de notes de fruits rouges également. Une pointe d’épices par dessus et on a une très bonne dégustation 🤩🤩
Review by Johannes
Strange why this PM89, which unlike the otherPM89 has been stored the longest, has the highest alcohol content! Now, at the second tasting I like it even better! Taste-wise, it has the typical complex Port Mourant notes with borderline bitter/tea notes.
Review by Oliver
Excellent Demerara rum! The nose is complex and concentrated, and really makes you want more. On the palate you will then find the perfect blend of delicate bitter notes, spice and dark chocolate. Absolute recommendation!
Review by Mentalo
Have tasted him now three times and each time he has clearly lost for me gg. the RA bottling. Bitterness, wood notes and black tea cover almost everything. For me, unfortunately, too much of it.
