S.B.S Guyana ICBU

A very light color, a nose dominated by alcohol, with wood, varnish, banana and a light encaustic. The alcohol is better integrated on the palate, but the aromas don't really develop. Despite the high ABV, there's a sense of dilution, with ghostly aromas of varnished wood, stale rose and a few tropical fruits that linger for a long time. The empty glass exudes encaustic wood. It's as if the bartender had replaced the bottled rum with neutral alcohol so as not to get caught.

Interesting profile, alcohol could be better integrated

Now already tasted several times on different days (my only ICBU), is still not more to get out of this rum - it remains a rum in the lower 80 points range.While on the nose in the later course nice walnut notes peek out of the initial sweetness, the rum can not really convince me on the palate: As crazyforgoodbooze already wrote here, the rum seems strangely thin and alcoholic at the same time. This ICBU is not bad, but also truly no sensation. Conclusion: for the relatively high price of at least 200 EUR, there are clearly better rums. Too bad.

This is a pretty good Uitvlugt and the price matches the quality. Dried fruit and roasted wood stands perfectly next to nuts, chocolate and some coffee notes.

Can not convince me completely. Keeps despite the long aging time still a fresh green note, in addition join sweetness and especially spices. The wood is primarily noticeable through smokiness, which also gives the rum some bitterness. Unfortunately, the alcohol is not completely integrated, but also therefore not completely convincing for me.

paar alte Samples vernichten…an der Nase getrocknete Früchte, roter Apfel, Karamell und Fasseinschlag. Am Gaumen kandierte Früchte, getoastet, etwas scharfkantig, trotz nur mittleren ABVs. Hätte mir etwas mehr erwartet.

Un bon Guyana mais qui manque de caractère, de puissance, de longueur et de texture pour en faire un top rhum. L'alcool pourrait être mieux intégré.

Very sweet and greedy profile on the nose. One could believe in a Ron. Coffee, chocolate, wood.In the mouth, it's very soft and round, with a bitterness brought by coffee or dark chocolate.Finish on the same notes.Good, but quite effete finally. I expected much more expressive.

Ein sehr guter angenehm zu trinkender Uitvlugt! Ausgewogen, nicht zu holzig und bitter und schöne Fruchtnoten

Does not really pick me up somehow, seems slightly watered down and yet slightly alcoholic.

Noch vor der schlechten Alkoholintegration stört mich hier primär die fehlende Cremigkeit / Textur. PLV eher fragwürdig.

Like most '98 Guyana, this one unfortunately does not meet my taste either. For me, too poorly integrated alcohol, too much licorice, not round enough. Seems very young despite the 24 years.

Na nose z počátku jednoznačně velmi sladký profil, karamel, čokoláda, později se objeví ořechy. V puse se zdá z počátku takový zbytečňe řídký, ale později se projeví sušené ovoce, nakouřené dřevo a nepříliž integrovaný alkohol.

Vcelku prijemny rum , nasladla vube s tropickymi a korenenymi tony. Chut trosku sem byl zaskocen ne prilis dobrou integraci alkoholu v rumu na jeho vek. Prijde mi jako kdyby naredeny , ale chut i presto velmi dobra po tropickem ovoci, lekorici a dalsim koreni. Lepsi ho nechat trosku nadechnout potom vyleze vice chuti a vubi. Konec je stredne dlouhy

the nose is on the nutty side combined with caramel and herbal notes. On the palate more bitterness and dominant wood. Still nicely balanced and well integrated abv. Nice rum, but as we know, nice is the little sister of…
