The nose comes out nice and spicy. Some dry wood mixes with the tart fruitiness of currant and the sweetness of raisin. Some nutmeg, pepper.The spiciness is also present on the palate. Here it goes in right anise and clove, a salty sweetness mixes in, a pleasant slightly bitter note of chamomile tea hangs after.In the finish again chamomile tea and in the back I have the tart sweetness of dried apricot.The is delicious, the alcohol well and pleasantly integrated, a nice flavor profile.

Gains enormously from long oxidation, a 0.7 bottle opened since 2018/2019 half full currently, August 2023, brings for me the best result since opening. It's amazing how much some bottlings can benefit from oxidation.

Avg Rating 8.5/10 over 170 Rums

Uitvlugt is a ghost with the best reviews in Guyana. The distillery closed in December 1999 and its stills were hauled to Diamond, leaving the stillhouse in ruins, yet aged Uitvlugt rum is among the highest rated on RumX, with one Cadenhead 1964 reaching 9.9/10. For four decades this was the transfer point where every wooden still in the country waited before moving on.
