Nobilis Uitvlugt No. 35 ICBU 1998
Opinions land mostly warm but rarely wowed: this 1998 Uitvlugt from a Savalle still leans hard into roasted wood and spice, with vanilla, black tea and chocolate underneath. Give it 30 minutes and it opens up. The palate turns dry, smoky and a touch briny, ending on licorice and raisin. A few tasters found the alcohol not quite tucked in.
The community says- Roasted wood, spice
- Vanilla and black tea

How does Nobilis Uitvlugt No. 35 ICBU 1998 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Woody, spicy aged Guyana with dry finish Most rate it a warm, woody, well-aged Guyanese with real complexity, though several felt it stayed a bit surface-level and slightly hot for a 25-year-old.

24.11.2025 Retasting this one while enjoying the fist day of my week off. ------------ #4528 16.12.2023 It's always nice to visit friends and then a few rums are added to the table. This is a pretty ok release. Medium fruity with roasted wood without it being dominant. The palate is nice, warm and lightly spicy with a light smoky note to it. The finish is medium to long with some licorice and raisin. Draws wonderful curtains in the glass. The empty glass has some caramel and light coffee.

The nose of this '98 Uitvlugt is quite restrained at first. After some time (30 minutes) it slowly opens up and aromas of vanilla, black tea, wood and chocolate are perceptible. The woody, spicy aromas predominate on the palate and finish. Overall, the rum is quite strong and demanding.
Review by DomM
Wood and vanilla on the nose. There are also earthy and herbal notes present. Black tea with a sip of milk and honey (?) - something in this ballpark at least. Decent complexity with some nuances to discover. Nice. Nicely balanced in the palate. Vanilla Creme and candied spices. Some wood and earthiness plays well with sweetness.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,4:On the nose, vegetal and woody is the first impression we get, with flowery, grassy-hay, herbaceous molasses, black tea and pencil shavings, roasted wood notes with nuts and chocolate, spicy with vanilla, anise and nutmeg. On aeration, it becomes fruitier with citrus and dried fruits like raisins, apricots and prunes, medicinal with rubber, a toffee complements the notes. 8,1:On the palate, the attack is tasty and dry with roasted wood notes like caramel, chocolate, leather, a bit smoky and spicy with pepper, cinnamon, anise and vanilla, sweet with Demerara sugar and fruity with berries, grapes, dried fruits like raisins, prunes.The molasses is mineral and herbaceous, dark with black tea. 8,2:The finish is long, dry and tannic, less tasty as before, with similar notes, some licorice also pops out. Edit:14.12.2025, downgrade, pretty stiff
Review by Timo Groeger
And to finish, a Uitvlugt, which I even like because it doesn't come across as heavily musty. Otherwise we have a lot of wood and a lot of spice, chocolate and vanilla are also recognizable, also very roasted on the palate. Thanks Skyfly for the samples.
Review by Chrischi78
A beautifully complex rum with reddish, woody notes and a fine honey sweetness. Very pleasant, but remains somewhat superficial overall. One sample was enough here, wouldn't be worth the price for me.
Review by Skyfly
A rather wood- and spice-heavy rum. Already on the nose these two main players overwhelm you, accompanied by vanilla and black tea. On the palate it tastes pleasantly smoky and on the way to the finish a bit like brine. The finish is dominated again by the wood. The full price probably wouldn't have been worth it for me.
Review by Enriko Špinler
For the price, I expected a little more, but it is a drinkable rum that develops its fruitiness at the beginning with a subtle hint of caramel and ends with a medium-long finish in which you can feel the strength of alcohol along with nuts and wood.
Review by Galli33
A good but not outstanding rum. Shows classic Guyana/Uitvlugt notes like coffee, chocolate, bitter notes (from long aging)
Review by Werner10
Very smooth and nice compexity.
Review by Dirk Becker
Beautiful fresh wood note
Review by Johannes
Alcohol not well integrated. Clear column style on the finish.
Review by Rare Akuma
Tasted this at SDR23, so my review remains rather concise. Elegant and light-footed nose starting with blue grapes, caster sugar and a modest amount of wood, slowly evolving into a more spicy approach of aniseed, vanillapod and blueberry tea. Grows more full-bodied on the palate. First opening with the same spicy sweetness as on the nose before transforming in a dry, bakery-style profile with notes of straw, brine, yeast and a touch of accompanying smoke. Ends in more black tea, licorice and an obscene amount of vanilla.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 1998. I rate it 8.2 out of 10, a very good rum.
Review by Beaureve
Nose: very woody. There is also some vanilla. Taste: again a lot of wood. Also some roasted notes and a bit of vanilla. Overall I find it quite closed. I still taste a note I can't really assign but it is only faintly perceptible. I don't like it that much (especially for the current price of 200€). There are definitely much better ones. Wouldn't need it again.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Just alcohol taste with low profile..

Unconvincing nose , Lots of spice , medicinal , chocolate in the mouth sweeter ,
