The Whisky Jury Uitvlugt (Port Mourant) The Many Faces Of Rum 1999 23yr 47,1%

"Floral and fruity on the nose (stone fruit, passion fruit), plus old barrel. Candied on the palate, cardboard, brine, but also somewhat watery."

"This Uitvlugt from The Whisky Jury doesn't really inspire me. On the nose, I perceive quite sweet aromas of cherry and similar fruits that remind me more of a Ten Cane. On the palate, the expected aromas, but unfortunately in far too thin a ratio. Alcohol is not noticeable. The finish is relatively short."

"Well... Reminds me more of gin than rum. It has something of juniper distillate, old, wet shoebox and this strange light acidity and minerality. Quite strange, also seems extremely watered down, I also suspect an ex-Scotch cask here, seems slightly peaty and salty in the finish. Too bad."

"Another rum that leaves me somewhat perplexed. Basically a typical Port Mourant with pencil shavings, some wood and leather and a slight, not unpleasant bitter note. The whole thing is disturbed by a sour note both on the nose and in the mouth. On the one hand, this is an interesting variation, but on the other hand, in my opinion, it is a false note that ruins the PM profile."

"Relatively strong nose. Relatively leathery spices are at the start here. On the palate I can taste pome fruit ... Apple or pear. Almost Calvados-like notes are also present. Not a beginner's rum. Lingers well in the aftertaste."

"It's very lemon-grassy. And the grass is kind of like wormwood. It's a favorite. The finish is short. I like Uitvlugt probably more than Jamaica, so I'm ok, but most people won't like it."
