Silent Ambassador Uitvlugt 1997

Sip this one neat, and give it time — several tasters say it needs to rest or a few drops of water to really open up. Then you get that classic Uitvlugt PM profile: anise and licorice, green tea and chamomile, overripe yellow fruits, and a savory olive note running through it. Dry, woody, faintly tarry finish. Elegant and subtle rather than loud.

Dry, floral Uitvlugt with anise and olive A well-matured, complex Guyana single cask that rewards patience. Loved for its floral, aniseed and olive character, though a few find the anise a bit heavy.

8.5/10

A very good Uitvlugt, full of character and quite complex! He comes in nose rather fruity (papaya, heavy old yellow fruit )hence! The palate is initially sweet but quickly changes to a spicy woody, then toasted mocha-like note! Overall very smooth and elegant! The finish is woody and then quite bitter..later joins some dried fruit!

great PM profile, reminds me somewhat of the Rum Cask 97/23y with the wonderful olive note. On the nose beyond that also anise, caramel, yellow fruit, green tea. On the palate, allspice, mocha, candied. In the finish black tea and passion fruit. Really tasty!

This is a solid and complex rum. Maybe it doesn't hit you in the face with bold flavours, but it's very well matured. Nose: honey, aniseed, yellow fruit, papaya, gingerbread, olive, green tea. Taste: more spice and green now: olive, salt, aniseed, tea, tobacco, papaya. Finish: moderate, spicy, including ginger, tea, olive, salt, fruit.

#5505 25.07.2025 Enjoying a few samples after coming back from the local Food Festival. Nose Round, wood, light roasted, light citrus, light anise, faint floral, light olive, faint coffee. Palate Round, balanced, wood, light roasted, light licorice, light floral, faint coffee, light mint, light tar. Finish Long, wood, faint roasted, light dried fruit, licorice, faint tar, light mint. Empty glass Mint, licorice, light olive, light tar, faint herbs. Needs to rest for a good while or add a few drops of water for it to really open up.

Pretty classic aniseed flavours overall. Typical PM stills. This is an elegant rum. Light yellow fruits leaning toward overripe (Peaches. Kiwi. Pear) but not right there. A candied sweetness - like the sugarcoating of the oriental snack: sugared chickpeas. The beauty lies in its subtleness. Very flowery/floral: rose(water), violins, chamomille (including the dryness and mustiness). I like it a lot.
