Live auctions
This rum is currently being offered by one of our verified auction house partners. RumX helps you discover and bid on rare rums.
How does this rum taste?
Most describe a near-perfect Demerara with addictive coconut-vanilla-glue nose, great balance and depth; a few find a small off-note or shorter finish and question the high price. Consensus: world-class.
If you’re already into old Velier Demeraras or high-end Foursquare/Worthy Park, this ticks the same “serious but drinkable” box with a unique coconut-glue twist that experienced palates rave about.
Beginners, those sensitive to 60% ABV, anyone who dislikes solvent/glue notes, and value-focused drinkers looking for an easy, casual sipper.

Absolute Champions League from Guyana. Fantastically balanced between sweetness, wood, spice and subtle fruitiness. Excellent!
Another beautiful uitvlugt velier! Intense and very fruity with a nice caramel note! The spices and chocolate act as a garnish and make everything very mouthwatering! Wood integrated perfectly! A very balanced rum indeed and amazing to drink!
One of the best Uitvlugt that I have had the pleasure to taste so far. Light yet complex. Heavenly.
A wonderful tropically matured Demerara. Lots of glue, caramel and coconut on the nose, fat and oily on the palate. A nose that likes to accompany a double corona, intoxicating. It's a real shame that there's nothing more to come. Anyone who has a bottle in their collection can count themselves lucky.
