Review by Mopar Rules
Disclaimer: not yet recovered, so my judgment is clouded. Poured a shot of DDL’s 1998 PM, which I like a lot, to compare in parallel. Very similar on the nose, TWJ is even fruitier and typical PM. More bitter on the palate and not convincing but the DDL today is quite similar. So maybe no tasting for the next days
Review by Thunderbird
Ein angenehmer milder PM, jedoch mehr auf der holzigen Seite. Mir gefällt es, dürfte aber nicht jedermanns Geschmack treffen. In der Nase nehme ich zudem etwas rote Frucht und Anis wahr. Gleiches am Gaumen und minimal Olive, neben dem dominanten Holz. So endet auch der Abgang.
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 The TWJ also feels a little watered down to much comparatively. However it is better balanced than the Ricci. Wood and herb forwards.

#4501 01.12.2023 This one needs to rest for a good while before giving it a go. A pretty nice release with heavy wood notes on one side and a kind of light profile on the other. Medium fruity with a nice licorice touch. The palate is oily and medium dry with a nice smoky touch. The finish long and warm with some citrus. I really like the light smoky note in the profile. The empty glass has some leather and faint caramel.
Review by Alex1981
Nice gentle profile with damp & mushroomy notes. The wood adds some sweetness & spices, but could be better integrated. Unfortunately a bit thin & short on the finish, would have loved to see this with a higher abv.
Review by mto75
Compared to the Nobilis No 6 (89, 31 yr), the WJ has the more typical PM nose with lots of olive, anise, gooseberry, caramel. Barrel, black tea on the palate. The tart finish compensates quite well for the rather low ABV.
Review by Johannes
Complex despite the low percentages, typical olive PM notes with less fruit, long, somewhat astringent finish.
Review by lamb Dave
The palate is slightly sour, and there is still 89 Uitvlugt's wood tone, and the woody aroma is not abrupt but not very comfortable. The flavor is a bit messy and missing, that itself (or aging...) or the degree is too low is unknown. The same question as Silver Seal Demerara 89(RX3567), but given that its counterpart is 55.8% but it is only 46.7%, I think there is an improvement. RA 1989(RX7791) solves these problems well, complex and balanced. In general, the flavor concentration of this bottle still needs to be improved and lacks some feature of aging. The finish is short. It's more like whisky, not as rich and powerful as Perola's low-proof rum.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Amazing nose. Tasty, but not extra full. Alcohol is not fully integrated, but after first hit to tongue nice and mild taste remain
