CDI Uitvlugt Guyana 1997

Old varnished oak up front, then a surprising fruit turn — overripe banana, mango, a little pineapple, licorice and light tar underneath. This is a softer take on Uitvlugt: the 45% keeps it very drinkable but also thins the body. Several tasters loved the fruit-vs-wood push-pull; others found it light and a touch simple for an 18-year Demerara.

Etwas dünn aber doch trotzdem unterbewertet wie ich finde. Salzlake, Tee, Vanille und Früchte mit etwas Anis in schöner Balance. Am Gaumen dann etwach leise … wie zu erwarten. Aber der Geschmack ist trotzdem da

Pretty well balanced. The low degrees break up the very smoky, alcoholic side often found in this distillery's bdf, bringing out a fruitier profile without losing power and length.

I didn't like it. Too light for my taste. Lacks complexity, no length.

Very good. When nosing it’s very hard to resist the urge to empty the glass. The 45% make it very drinkable.

Distillery

Uitvlugt 

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.

` between two key/value pairs terminates the expression and Hugo fails the whole build with `unexpected "{" in operand`. Put notes here. `headerDeliveryCountry` feeds the aria-label of the destination picker under the express row (commerce/express-destination.js).
