Corman Collins Uitvlugt Rum Demerara 1989
Highly praised as a classic, mature Port Mourant: elegant old wood, leather and dried fruit, nicely balanced and very drinkable, with many noting it trades sheer intensity for refinement and roundness.
Fans of classic Demerara and Port Mourant who enjoy mature, wood‑driven profiles with leather, tobacco and dried fruit at a comfortable ABV rather than full‑on cask‑strength power.

How does this rum taste?
Refined, old‑school Demerara elegance
If you enjoy mature Guyana rums like other late‑80s Uitvlugts but want something smoother and more relaxed, this gives you the classic profile in a very drinkable package.
Lovers of high‑octane, super intense releases or those looking for bright, juicy fruit; also not ideal if heavy oak and a slightly drying finish put you off.

A rum for which I had high expectations on paper. A very dark color. The nose combines old varnished wood and butter, pineapple, mango and leather. The palate is very smooth, woody, slightly mentholated, without heaviness despite the age of the beast. The finish is a little short, with wood that is (too) present but elegant. The nose is beautiful and complex, but the palate and finish leave me wanting more.
A very nice 1989 Uitvlugt perhaps starting to show its age, hints of oak and a bit drying. However all the typical notes of an old guyana rum! I'm getting licorice and old leather and some peppery notes, some fruits and caramel as well.
Small 1989 Utivlugt cross tasting: Nobilis vs. CorCol vs. CoR vs. Ricci vs. TWJ. On the nose: CoR >>> Ricci > TWJ = Nob > CC With its higher ABV the CoR is playing in a wholly different league - stunning on the nose. CC needs very much time to open up. TWJ with the darkest nose; Most leather and wood forwards. Palate: CoR > Nobilis > CC > TWJ >> Ricci
Attack a little soft, rough, pencil lead, graphite, light menthol, wood, worn varnish, alcohol too weak to hold, almost oxidized finish.
