The Duchess Uitvlugt Guyana 27 1993
Sip this one slowly and neat — it's built for a quiet tasting glass, not a mixer. Expect roasted wood, macadamia nuts, tobacco and a faint honey sweetness, with peppery heat that stays warm rather than hot. Several tasters call it dry, mineral and lightly smoky, with dried fruit on a long, tannic finish. A bright, waxy Uitvlugt that leans elegant over heavy.
The community says- Roasted nuts, tobacco
- Long tannic finish

How does The Duchess Uitvlugt Guyana 27 1993 taste?
Summarized by AI from 24 community reviews.
Dry, nutty, subtle old Uitvlugt sipper Most find it balanced, dry and nutty with a long tannic finish and well-integrated heat. A few felt it ran thin or mineral, calling it "so weak in taste" — this is a subtle Demerara, not a bold one.

So Uitvlugt doesn't really suit my taste. It's another very musty rum, and you can still detect some mocha, nuts and smoke on the palate. I'd like to try the best rated rum on RumX to see if it's really that good ;-)
Review by LukaŽiga
8,7:On the nose, the first impression we get is balanced with honey, roasted wood notes, mostly nuts, spices like cinnamon, pepper and vanilla, grassy, flowery molasses, herbaceous and pencil shavings, fruits with citrus, banana and pear. On aeration, the wood is smoky and salty, buttery with butterscotch, chocolate, a strong note of biscuits arises well after pouring rum in the glass.We must admit, that it is very complex, multifaceted, as there are hints of grappa, metallic patina, green fruits and grapes, as well as some tobacco. 8,8:On the palate, the attack is tasty, sweet with honey, oily and creamy, later dry with roasted wood notes like nuts, butterscotch, brioche and biscuits, spicy and smoky, later salty, fruits with banana, citrus and pear, the molasses is mineral, minty, later herbaceous and earthy with tobacco, perhaps also with hints of basil...whatta complex rum... 8,6:The finish is long, dry&tannic, slightly metallic, less balanced, a bit darker with roasted notes, dried fruits, we might notice pencil shavings...
Review by Tom Buteneers
Very lovely and balanced in the nose and on the palate with overall a lot of wood but not too much, very subtle fruity and honey like sweetness. Alcohol integrated very well with peppery heat but no burn. Coffee and dark bitter chocolate, I like!
Review by Johannes
This 93 PM is not my favorite. It seems a bit thin, at the same time the alcohol is not well integrated. The taste is rather mineral, bitter and dry.

Well done but not my style
Review by thehumblefox
NOSE: Light light caramel, vanilla, bananas foster, particle board, white oak. In the background, a small amount of tar and charcoal. PALATE: Med bodied, but generous & waxy. Green banana skins, papaya, macadamia nuts, bulb fennel. Light licorice. FINISH: More macadamia nuts, pear skin spices, turmeric, papaya seeds, bulb fennel, papaya. Saline- salted pencil shavings. Lightly floral. OVERALL: This is such a fun profile. Relatively simple, but more lifted & tropical and bright, with a lovely waxy-paraffin texture. SCORE: 83/100
Review by Snorre Brouer
If I blind tasted this, and had to guess the distillery, I would have guessed Clarendon. This rum shares a lot of similarities with Plantation Jamaica Clarendon MMW Vintage 2007 (the one in their bird series). Fruity with a hint of tobacco and spices. Very easy to sip. Thefatrumpirate states "... more malty character. If someone nosed this and said they thought it was Scotch Whisky I wouldn't be surprised. [...] If I were more fond of Scotch whiskey than I am Bourbon, I suspect I would enjoy this even more than I have" and honestly I don't quite follow his comparison - this is an exceptionel quality rom and I have never tasted whisky which could be compared to this rum (although I have to admit, that my whisky experience is quite limited to ). He might be right, but don't let it scare you from trying this rum just because you dislike Scotch whisky. Now to the price.. 27 year old Uitvlugt for ~250 euro? That's near impossible to find these days, and this is damn good rum from a historical distillery. Can you find better rum for less? Probably, but this is still worth it's RRP.

Read full review →It's definitely a slow sipper. Something to savour. It's a great start to 2021 for The Duchess with this bottling. If I were more fond of Scotch Whisky than I am Bourbon, I suspect I would enjoy this even more than I have. So that is something to bear in...
