How does this rum taste?
This Uitvlugt 1998 Demerara, aged 26 years and bottled by Silver Seal, strikes RumX drinkers as pleasantly balanced and easy to sip, with recurring notes of fruity dried fruit, roasted woody spice, and touches of anise and citrus. Many pick up on the “Pfirsich und Aprikosen Aromen” (crazyforgoodbooze), as well as “oily, fresh” texture and a medium-dry, spiced finish—Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰 summed it up as “everything you’d expect from a Demerara.” While the integration of wood is surprisingly restrained for its age, some users wish for a bit more complexity or depth.

3rd GAF Stuttgart This bottling was also a nice find at Emile's Catawiki stand. I think this bottling is once again very successful, everything you would expect from a Demerara. But for the price that's being asked again, it's definitely not worth it for me, which I think is a shame.
A rather pleasant, no-nonsense Uitvlugt. The nose is pleasantly fruity, with pear, peach, dried fruit and citrus. The wood is not overpowering, leaving more room for spices (aniseed, vanilla), pastry and toasted notes. The whole is soft and balanced. The structure of the nose is echoed on the palate, with dried fruit, citrus, tobacco, roasted wood, spices and pastry caramel. The rum has an oily texture on the palate, but leaves a rather dry trail in the background. The profile is not unpleasant, but the whole lacks a little richness and complexity. The alcohol is very well integrated. The finish is moderately long. The Demerara profile comes through a little more, with sugar, spices, roasted notes and dried fruit on the prune. The aftertaste remains dry but fragrant. A pleasant rum to sip and easy to approach, but a little limited compared with expectations of an old Uitvlugt from the last century.
