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?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
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.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
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.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Big cinema! Leather, herbs, baked plum, licorice, tea. Compared to this, the PM 1974 from Kingsbury (RX8280) tasted in parallel unfortunately has to pack up. I wish I could taste this excellent old PM again against the Skene (RX11186). Many thanks to Christoph H. for the successful surprise!
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
Powerful rum with deep aromas. Notes of dark chocolate, spices and ripe fruits blend harmoniously. The finish is long and warming, with a fine balance of sweetness and light spice.
Review by Filip Šikula
The third piece of our evening of legendary Cadenheads. A piece ten years younger with a nose full of dried plums, tea, and tobacco. The taste is again oily and dense, full of tobacco and tea. Less chocolate, but it's there. Also coffee and nuts. Thanks for letting us!
Review by Morten Nørregaard Rasmussen
Port mourant 1974, the 60,3% is so good balanced, Demerara brown sugar plum, and dark fruit. AMAZING!!!!
