Velier Uitvlugt Modified GS

Aromas of coconut, caramel, and vanilla give way to a palate that's creamy, spicy, and warmly woody. A beloved favourite for its sweet, rounded Demerara profile—this is a community-backed crowd-pleaser that over-delivers for its price (if you can find it).

    How does this rum taste?

    • Gorgeous coconut and caramel highlights
    • Smooth, creamy and full-bodied palate
    • Perfect alcohol integration

    Coconut, caramel, and vanilla steal the show in Velier's Uitvlugt 1996 "Modified GS", joined by warming spices and a rich, woody depth from 18 years of tropical aging. RumX tasters praise its inviting nose, creamy palate, and harmonious blend of sweetness and spice, even if complexity sometimes yields to pure drinkability. Worth a sip for collectors or anyone drawn to dessert-like Demeraras.

    "... The Old Velier Demerara rum is the best thing you can taste in the rum world. The rums were aged in the tropics for several years by mistake and nobody refilled the barrel. The Andel tax was 90% or more, which is why the taste is especially full and intense. Even though it is an extra expensive product, I recommend to taste a rum from this series at least once in your life."

    "Unfortunately, I can't quite go along with the 90+ ratings. But it's fantastic to be able to drink a rum like this. Thank you Rodolphe for this great split."

    "Pretty close to its big brother from 1997 vintage. Sweet, round, another strong Uitvlugt from Velier !"

    "Well, now it's time to taste one of the Unicorns you hear so much about, but rarely see in your glass... Big demerara profile of nuts, vanilla, coconut, cooked sugar, it's woody but pleasant and greedy. On the palate, it follows the same pattern, which is very good. So verdict: very, very good, but not necessarily better than other, less hard-to-find dark demerara. So very happy to be able to share this bottle for "only" 600€ 😅, tomorrow if I come across it again at the same price, I'd rather take 1 diamond CBH + 1 Skeldon + 1 Albion from El Dorado, all 3 are at the same level, or so equivalent..."
