Did you know that Uitvlugt used to lie on the Atlantic coast, so almost at the mouth of the Demerara River? And Uitvlugt can be purely magical (and sometimes just above average as well).

Colour: pale straw.

Nose: yeah, Uitvlugt was probably the most ‘Jamaican’ of all Demerara rums. Astounding fresh tar, crushed olives, oysters, mezcal, plasticine, embrocations, engine oil… And on top of all that, a few floral notes, around roses. So well-carved, this nose! No water needed, let’s go on…

Mouth: amazingly salty, briny, lemony, liquoricy, smoky… And Ardbeggian. I’m not joking. Long story short, this is superb. Amazing mouth feel, fresh and full at the same time. Like a great wine, in a way.

Finish: long and very salty. You just had Scandinavian salted liquorice.

Comments: great. Sadly, I had expected this would happen, whilst I love surprises. Silver Seal, booooo! Totally malternative, in any case.
