23.12.2025 Have some of my old colleagues over for an EKTE tasting that I promissed a while back. This bottler is no more ans I am pretty sure that a few others will follow in 2026. ----------- This is a wonderful rum and I will definitely get back to this one. A backup bottle has already been ordered. The nose is peppery and has a lot of wood in a good way. There is also pear, burnt sugar and a bit of leather in there. The palate is creamy/oily and the rum draws nice curtains in the glass. Lots of fruit, barrel and spice. Later sugarcane and licorice comes to the front and a small hint of olive. The finish is long woody with spices and a hint of marzipan.

In parallel tasting with the comparable 23y from Ekte from 1992 (RX3604) slightly inferior, not quite as complex. Became independent of it more and more noticeable and better, the longer he could breathe.gefallen mir!

Once again a successful PM! Alcohol perhaps not optimally integrated, but taste beautifully complex!

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.
