Uitvlugt 1991 Rum Artesanal - MPM - Cask 70 - b. 2022 - 500ml

Rum Artesanal 1991 Uitvlugt MPM Guyana Cask No.70 is an exceptional 30-year-old molasses rum distilled in Guyana at the legendary Uitvlugt Distillery, which ceased operations in 1999. This particular cask, No. 70, was meticulously selected and bottled by Rum Artesanal in July 2022. It was bottled at cask strength, an impressive 61.7% ABV, without any dilution, resulting in an exclusive release of only 236 bottles. The rum began its journey in December 1991, undergoing tropical aging at the distillery itself. It later continued its maturation through continental aging in cities such as Liverpool, Amsterdam, and Bad Bevensen. The elaborate aging process has imparted a unique character to this rum, making it a standout expression of Uitvlugt's legacy. The flavor profile begins with a medicinal and metallic character that gradually unfolds into a vegetal freshness, with hints of copper, resin, and tannins. Upon aeration, fresher notes of anise, licorice, molasses, and menthol emerge, along with spices like caraway seeds, cumin, and coriander. This rum presents a complex and multifaceted tasting experience that is both intriguing and memorable. Despite its age, the wood influence in this rum has not overshadowed its vibrant fruit notes. The well-integrated alcohol and herbal nuances add to its complexity, making it a remarkable and rare offering for rum enthusiasts. Rum Artesanal, known for their dedication to quality and craftsmanship, has once again delivered an outstanding bottling with this 1991 Uitvlugt MPM Guyana Cask No.70, capturing the essence and heritage of the Uitvlugt Distillery.
