    How does this rum taste?

    What stands out most to reviewers is the elegant and complex profile, with a distinctive anise note layered over yellow fruits and floral aromas. Many describe candied or dried fruit on the palate, with mentions of tea, green herbs, and olive that create a unique balance. It's typically enjoyed neat, and several reviewers recommend letting it rest in the glass or adding a drop of water to unlock its layers. If you appreciate subtlety and Uitvlugt character, this limited release is worth seeking out.

    Nose: green canned olives, complex ethereal compounds that are not associated with anything - just something inedible, like rusty iron and the warm waste of machine oil at a car change. The alcohol is not sensed at all. Interesting. Taste: very strongly salty, brine and capers confirm (but we are closer to barrel pickles), eucalyptus oil and mint create a pleasant coldness. The finish is long, salty, like sweat). I liked it. I don't think this bottle has investment appeal, but purely rolling this is a very yearly rum (for my taste). The overall impression is 90 for sure. Bottles are still available, but already at €186 in Belgium.

    great PM profile, reminds me somewhat of the Rum Cask 97/23y with the wonderful olive note. On the nose beyond that also anise, caramel, yellow fruit, green tea. On the palate, allspice, mocha, candied. In the finish black tea and passion fruit. Really tasty!

    Pretty classic aniseed flavours overall. Typical PM stills. This is an elegant rum. Light yellow fruits leaning toward overripe (Peaches. Kiwi. Pear) but not right there. A candied sweetness - like the sugarcoating of the oriental snack: sugared chickpeas. The beauty lies in its subtleness. Very flowery/floral: rose(water), violins, chamomille (including the dryness and mustiness). I like it a lot.

    A very good Uitvlugt, full of character and quite complex! He comes in nose rather fruity (papaya, heavy old yellow fruit )hence! The palate is initially sweet but quickly changes to a spicy woody, then toasted mocha-like note! Overall very smooth and elegant! The finish is woody and then quite bitter..later joins some dried fruit!
