Most tasters land on the same read: a distinctly herbal Uitvlugt, more delicate than dark. Fresh herbs, olive brine, peach skin and pear sit over dry oak and a graphite streak, with lychee coming through on the palate. A few call it a touch thin at first, but nearly everyone agrees it deepens with time in the glass. Not the boldest Guyana, but a fine, easygoing one.
The community says- Herbal and complex
- Peach and lychee
- Keep in mind: Thin at first

How does Uitvlugt Kill Devil Bottled for Rum Rarities 1997 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Herbal, olive-tinged Uitvlugt that opens slowly Well-liked for its herbal, olive-and-peach Uitvlugt character. Most rate it a delicate, complex sipper; a few find it thin up front with the alcohol not fully settled until it opens up.

Very nice herbal Uitvlugt! A longer standing time or open bottle really brings this rum forward. 1-2 years are really appropriate here! Over time more and more tropical fruits like peach come through! Great!! Super cask selection Sven 😊

Solid Uitvlugt with typical but rather subtle notes. Good daily sipper.

Review by Frank
RumX Advent calendar, 9.12., blind, First impression: salty, honey, BlackRock? Mid 50%. But if you give it time it gets better and better and then clearly goes in the direction of Uitvlugt. Nose: very fine, a little flat at first, gets a nice depth with time, speaks for older age. It is salty and has a nice honey note, slightly vinegary, somewhat herbal and resinous with a special graphite note. In terms of fruit, I followed pineapple and pear. I like it already. Palate: again salty with iodine, a little muted and again this very special graphite flavor, some pear and tangerine and again slightly resinous. Herbaceous on the back with camomile and a hint of mint. It also becomes deeper and more complex on the palate with time... Not the best Uit, but not bad...
Review by Lukas Jäger
RumX Advent calendar, 09.12.2021, blind. At first hard to define. Herbal and sweet, but above all very thin. Maybe Guyana. After some time then a bit more certain: Guyana, Uitvlugt, with some characteristic notes. Herbal, olive, woody-resinous and salty with some iodine on the nose, plus a hint of graphite. Similar impression on the palate. Initially a bit thin, the alcohol doesn’t feel very well integrated. With more time in the glass however, better and better. The alcohol dissipates or increasingly enhances the aromas. Probably a sign the rum is already at least somewhat mature. After about an hour in the glass really tasty. Not the best Uitvlugt, but quite drinkable.
Review by Tschusikowsky
RumX advent calendar 9.12.21: This time I have the Uitvlugt erkannt👏🏻🤪 Nose: initially restrained but with time it reveals a very diverse profile. A lot of lychee comes through in the mouth. Overall very fine, very complex and delicate. Perfect alcohol. What I like here is the sweetness, which rounds off the profile well. I found this a little lacking in the older representatives I've tasted so far.
Review by Christoph
Herbs are intensely present as soon as it is poured. There is also strong oak, olive water and peach. On the palate, lychee preserved in maple syrup is added. The bitterness of the oak that I like so much only unfolds in the finish. For a better rating, the alcohol should be more ideally integrated, which is particularly present in the length of the finish and is underpinned with a herbal spiciness.
Review by MarcT
Nice, fruity and very much wood influence at the end.
Review by Thunderbird
A quite fruity nose (citrus fruits, musty peach). On the palate then very vegetal... herbs, black tea, slight bitterness and young twigs... this continues on the finish! The alcohol is very well integrated... a successful and tasty rum.
Review by Tom Buteneers
RumXmas #9 Got home from the late shift and got to try this beauty. Not in the mood for much analysis, so I just sit back, relax and enjoy this rather herbal Uitvlugt.

Review by tojo
#9 RX Advent calendar. Reminds me of a mild Savanna. Nice fruit notes, allspice, roasted aromas. Successful.
Review by mto75
Reminds me strongly of the Rum Cask Guyana PM 97, with fresh herbs and olive on the nose.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Day 9 RumX Advent calendar: my first thought was immediately Guyana, Uitvlugt and yes you know it. Quickly cross-checked with the 1997 The Rum Cask. Yes, that's it... I thought... Maybe the TRC is a bit smoother. Otherwise very similar and therefore almost identical score from me.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very very unusual Uitvlugt where the choice of glass makes a big difference. Not as much pencil as usual and a nice note of nutmeg, pear, and peach, wood not too dominant. Very smooth!
Review by Christian Rudt
A rarity with the smell and taste of a rarity. 🥃 Exciting journey through the diversity of aromas. Starts with olives, then delicious lychees, and ends relatively dry with iodine.
Review by Stylo
Very light yellow, with almost clear reflections. Very nice, thick legs Nose: very delicate..that the first thing that comes to my mind..then peach skin and pears, maybe coconut shavings..I also sense a touch of sweet spices, like cinnamon. Mouth: lychees..oh God, my mind flew right at my youth, when a I used to finish my teenage dinners at the local Chinese restaurant with a coupe of those syrupy lychees! Then again pears, with a hint of young wood and a mild spicy flavor. A little bit astringent, mildly warm. Finish: medium, more on the woody and spicy, with that lychee flavor in background
Review by Joël
Uitvlugt and I just don't warm up to each other. Olive and herbal just don't appeal to me, but that's my problem with rums of this taste 😅. Peach is okay, slightly reminds me of Clarendon.
