Rum Shark Uitvlugt Guyana Single Cask Collection 2012

Most people land on "good, but hot" here. This Uitvlugt from Guyana carries that musty, earthy distillery signature, plus dark chocolate, leather and a sweeter fruity edge with a little smoke. At 66.5%, the alcohol isn't fully tucked in — one taster found it rounder yet flatter than its 62.7% sister cask. Rewarding if you sit with it.

The community says
  • Musty Uitvlugt DNA

Musty Uitvlugt, chocolate and wood, very hot Well-liked for its musty Uitvlugt character, dark chocolate and wood. The recurring catch: at cask strength the heat can dominate, and some prefer the softer sister cask.

And then there were four times Rum Shark. Here a Uitvlugt. You can definitely recognize that musty Uitvlugt DNA, only the alcohol could be a bit better integrated. Otherwise, a bit of wood and dark chocolate.

Phew, quite alcoholic. Even a little rounder in taste, but also flatter than its sister cask at 62.7%

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.
