How does this rum taste?
Most enjoy its dry, woody-spicy profile, vanilla and black tea complexity. Critics find the alcohol a bit sharp and the price high. Consensus: a solid, characterful aged Demerara column rum.
If you enjoy older, dry Guyanese rums like other ICBU/Uitvlugt releases, this pushes the woody, tea and spice notes further at cask strength—rewarding if you’re into structured, drier profiles.
Beginners, those sensitive to higher ABV, or drinkers seeking sweet, fruity or budget-friendly rums; several reviewers noted sharp alcohol and questioned value.

Beautiful fresh wood note
Tasted this at SDR23, so my review remains rather concise. Elegant and light-footed nose starting with blue grapes, caster sugar and a modest amount of wood, slowly evolving into a more spicy approach of aniseed, vanillapod and blueberry tea. Grows more full-bodied on the palate. First opening with the same spicy sweetness as on the nose before transforming in a dry, bakery-style profile with notes of straw, brine, yeast and a touch of accompanying smoke. Ends in more black tea, licorice and an obscene amount of vanilla.
Very smooth and nice compexity.
#4528 16.12.2023 It's always nice to visit friends and then a few rums are added to the table. This is a pretty ok release. Medium fruity with roasted wood without it being dominant. The palate is nice, warm and lightly spicy with a light smoky note to it. The finish is medium to long with some licorice and raisin. Draws wonderful curtains in the glass. The empty glass has some caramel and light coffee.
