Cadenhead's Uitvlugt GM 1974
Everyone who's tried this old Demerara lands in the same place: a beautiful, classic aged rum. Stewed plum, dried fruit and wood on the nose, then an oily palate carrying tobacco, espresso and dark chocolate. At 60.3% the alcohol shows up front but blows off after a while in the glass. One taster notes it lacks a single standout quirk — but nobody's disappointed.

How does Cadenhead's Uitvlugt GM 1974 taste?
Aggregated from 13 community reviews.
Oily aged Demerara, plum and tobacco Consensus is high and warm: a deeply satisfying old Uitvlugt where the cask never dominates. The only quibble — it's excellent rather than singular.

14.06.2009 A wonderful tasting with a few expats. This is thetasting where I met my long time friend in rum tasting, Tony. A guy from Singapore working and living in Shanghai. He also shared a passion for archery like me, which ended up in many hours spend together. Notes. Very dark in colour. Wood with plum/prune notes and herbal notes. Oily palate with roasted wood and coffee. Slight coffee notes on a very long finish.

Großes Kino! Leder, Kräuter, Backpflaume, Lakritz, Tee. Dagegen muss der parallel verkostete PM 1974 von Kingsbury (RX8280) leider einpacken. Ich wünschte, ich könnte diesen hervorragenden alten PM noch mal gegen den Skene (RX11186) verkosten. Alerherzlichsten Dank an Christoph H. für die gelungene Überraschung!
Review by Jakob
Cadenheads Uitvlugt GM 1974 30y 60,3% (bottled 2005) Nose: Plum jam, dried fruit, wood, light herbal notes, minimal traces of sulphur Palate: Initially a clearly recognizable alcohol note, but this disappears almost completely after approx. 30 minutes. Spiciness and subtle bitterness remain, hinting at subliminal espresso notes. There is also plum, wood, a hint of tobacco and a sweet pastry note reminiscent of cookies. Finish: medium-long, rather sweet. Significantly shorter than the Silver Seal 1974, but this is primarily due to its strong smoky note. Sweetness of dried fruit, plus some wood and cane sugar. Conclusion: Beautiful, classic old Demerara rum from continental storage. Despite the long ageing period, the cask is not too dominant, i.e. the bitter notes are pleasantly restrained. Nevertheless, the unique selling point in the taste profile is missing a little.
Review by Mirco
Kräftiger Rum mit tiefgründigen Aromen. Noten von dunkler Schokolade, Gewürzen und reifen Früchten verbinden sich harmonisch. Der Abgang ist lang und wärmend, mit einer feinen Balance aus Süße und leichter Würze.
Review by Morten Nørregaard Rasmussen
Port mourant 1974, the 60,3% is so good balanced, Demerara brown sugar plum, and dark fruit. AMAZING!!!!
