    How does this rum taste?

    The Rum Sponge No. 12, an exquisite Guyanese masterpiece from the Uitvlugt distillery, delights with its complex profile. Distilled from molasses in 1991 and aged for 30 years, it offers a compelling aromatic blend of honey and citrus, evolving into an intricately herbal, woody palate. Despite its cask strength of 57.1% ABV, the alcohol is exceptionally well integrated, creating a creamy, oily mouthfeel that delivers a rich tapestry of flavors, including spicy anise and subtle tea notes. Praised for its balance and intricate flavor layers, yet some desire a longer finish. This limited release of only 191 bottles is a gem for collectors and connoisseurs alike, embodying sophistication with a mesmerizing aromatic depth and vibrant palate.

    Matching from A to Z. An incredible variety in the nose, mouth and finish. Alcohol top integrated. Very good uitvlugt.

    Blind verkostet im Rahmen des Community x-mas meetings. Herkunft Guyana war unverkennbar. An der Nase viel Kräuter, Lakritz, Malz, Karamell und etwas Bleistiftspähne. Vielen Dank an meinen Wichtel für das tolle Sample!

    What a beguiling nose... very multi-faceted, intense and fruity.... Excellent!On the palate, the rum spreads creamy oily to all corners of the mouth and fills it with an interplay of woody, herbal, toasty, dried fruit and coffee! This fits and harmonizes !If the finish was a little longer... it would have been easily enough for an "excellent"! But it remains an exception!

    An exciting rum, which I would not estimate so old. Great fresh and fruity nose and nice complex herbs and spices on the palate. Alcohol is super integrated. Definitely tasty and a rum that will still challenge me, since I have not yet deciphered much.
