CoR Uitvlugt Guyana No. 6 1997
Demerara fans chasing that Port Mourant profile are the natural audience here, but temper expectations. It's clearly Uitvlugt — baked apple, grapefruit, light wood, a bit of leather and spice — but rounder and softer than most people wanted from a 24-year-old cask-strength bottling. Several tasters call it elegant and easy to drink; just as many find it thin and a little short on the depth Demerara usually brings.

How does CoR Uitvlugt Guyana No. 6 1997 taste?
Aggregated from 48 community reviews.
Light, round Uitvlugt that runs a bit thin Recognizably Uitvlugt with baked apple and grapefruit, and pleasantly round. But most feel it lacks the depth and fullness of great Demeraras, and the alcohol isn't always tidy.

Got this sample for free from RumX. This rum comes from the since year 2000 closed Uitvlugt Distillery and the Port Mourant Double Wooden Pot Still which today is moved to the Diamond Distillery, the only distillery in Guyana nowadays. It was distilled in 1997 and was first tropical aged for 2 years in an former bourbon barrel whereafter it was continentally aged for 21 years in an former cognac barrel. Finally it was bottled in 2022 in 262 bottles at 53,4%. Overall an elegant and round rum where the taste of grapefruit dominates.

Definitely disappointing, mint, olive and fish-flavored aftertaste
Review by RumTaTa
The nose immediately refers to the Port Mourant double wooden pot still. The aromas of baked apple please me.On the palate then a lot of sweetness and barrel notes.Overall no firecracker but still elegant and some to discover.
Review by Yannick CULTOT
Big frustration for this rum from Guyana. A rather pleasant, straightforward attack with notes of prunes and a disappointing finish, giving way to poorly mastered smoky notes.
Review by Thunderbird
Fair rating This is a soft and very spicy Uitvlugt that gently unfolds its aromas on the nose and palate. The alcohol is perfectly integrated, allowing it to be enjoyed in a relaxed manner.
Review by Andi
Molassesy, dirty, woody and chocolaty. 2nd tasting: Still dirty notes, wood, very alcoholic today. Doesn't convince me at all.
Review by Eric Frechin
Tasted after another, younger Guyana in a line-up. I found this rum dominated by roundness and even sweetness, which surprised me for this destination. Despite its age, the woodiness did not dominate. Lacks a bit of omplexity, but I like how easy it is to drink.
Review by Serge
Port mourant with baked apple, nice sweetness on the palate and light grappa note when sipping. Tasty and without disturbing ... but also nothing special
Review by TheRhumhoe
A somewhat timid rum. The nose offers a fresh, herbal fragrance (tea) and rather pronounced spices (baked apple, chili pepper, aniseed). A rather light but dry woodiness warms the nostrils with the spices. Fruits (citrus) are rather timid. A characteristic Port Mourant profile, but one that struggles to stand out. On the palate, the structure lacks harmony and distinctive aromas. The alcohol is not as well integrated as it could be, coupled with woody notes, leather and spices (chili, cooking spices) that besiege the palate. Caramel, molasses, dark chocolate, dried fruit and tea herbs make for a typical Port Mourant blend, but one that's a bit wacky and unstable on the palate. The finish is earthy, with notes of thyme, toasted wood, spices (aniseed) and dried fruit. The alcohol is back, but with a dryness and bitterness to boot. Sometimes fine and dull, sometimes warm and intense, this rather sparse Port Mourant is not so easy to pin down, as if it were searching for its identity between warm, gourmand, dry and bitter notes.
Review by Godspeed
Really mediocre uitvlugt. Mostly continental and it really shows. Lacks depth, fullness, roundness, burnt notes and pretty much most things that make demeraras interesting. Don’t be fooled by the seemingly high age, the price to quality here is terrible.
Review by DomM
Feels significantly thinner and more flat vs TRC. Alcohol is much more present in this bottling at the same time though.
Review by Mike H.
A little too flat to my taste.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
10.02.2023 A nice CoR tasting with a good friend. Colour Light in colour. Nose Round, light wood, fruits, faint leather, light plum, faint mint, light apple. Palate Round, medium spicy, light wood, light roasted, naturally sweet, grapefruit, medium dry, faint licorice, light dried fruit. Finish Medium to long, light wood, medium spicy, light licorice, faint mint, dried fruit.
Review by Master P
Really mediocre. Lacks depth, richness, roundness, burnt notes and pretty much most of the things that make demerara interesting. Nose already nice and fruity like apple or something. The color of the rum also seems very artificial. I would have expected more for its age
Review by TheJackDrop
Premier Colours of Rum. J’avoue être un poil déçu, même si on a ici un superbe rhum, bcp de fruits, de la fraîcheur, quelques épices, surtout de la pomme et ou pamplemousse et ou de la pastèque notamment. Sympa; plutôt fin, équilibré, mais un peu sage.

Definitely Uitvlugt profile, but too strict and less tasty
