How does this rum taste?
- Intricate nose of leather and fruit
- Well-balanced tropical and mint notes
- Impressive aging complexity
The Rum Demerara 1989 from the Uitvlugt Distillery in Guyana, bottled by Corman Collins, is a 32-year-old pot still rum. With a rich ABV of 49.5%, it offers an intriguing bouquet of leather, tobacco, and caramelized fruits, evolving into a palate of tropical notes, mint, and subtle oak. Users appreciate its intricate nose and historical depth but find the palate less inspiring, noting its drying finish and lighter impact than expected from such aging. The aging brings out complex layers, but some find the woodiness overpowering the fruity elements, leading to a mild complexity. This rum is a perfect example of old-world Guyana rums, praised for its leathery notes and balance but sometimes criticized for its reduced alcoholic warmth and short finish.

"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."

"The age alone promises a lot, and indeed, of course, there is quite a bit of aroma in the glass here. But I can not get rid of the impression that it was a rather less mediocre barrel of the vintage, because despite the reduction, the roasted note is still very clearly recognizable. Presumably, the reduction to below 50% but exactly against this background has taken place, so remains a relatively round rum, which lacks but a bit of temperament, ie the last aromatic force."

"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"
