Uitvlugt RA Guyana Rum 1997
Most tasters land on "good, not a knockout" here — herbal, continental Uitvlugt with lots of walnut, pencil shavings and dried fruit on the nose. The twist people keep flagging is the palate: an oily, almost honey-like sweetness that some love and others find distracting. Finish runs long and warm, though a few note it turns bitter and tannic at the end.
The community says- Herbal walnut nose
- Pencil-shaving character

How does Uitvlugt RA Guyana Rum 1997 taste?
Aggregated from 25 community reviews.
Herbal continental Uitvlugt, oddly honey-sweet Well-liked older continental Uitvlugt: herb-and-walnut nose, surprisingly sweet honeyed palate. The bitter tannic finish and that dominant sweetness split opinion — many enjoy it, some don't.

Review by Johannes
Excellent Port Mourant profile! In addition to the typical herbal notes, a nice sweetness. Unfortunately, borderline dominant bitter notes on the finish.
Review by Rum Watcher
Very, very "herbal", typically Continental. I thought it was very good, and the majority of the tasters thought so too. However, I can understand that it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Review by RumTaTa
Was für eine tolle Nase! Ganz viel Walnuss, Kräuter und Fass, Früchte nur im Hintergrund. Am Gaumen sehr intensiv und kraftvoll, weniger Walnuss, mehr floral und das Fass ist mit seinen Tanninen zu spüren. Der Alkohol ist gut eingebunden. Zum langen Nachklang hin beginnen die Tannine zu überwiegen. Sehr guter, intensiver Rum!
Review by Oliver
Lots of walnut and herbs on the nose. Intense on the palate with a pleasant sweetness. Great rum!
Review by Lukas Jäger
Uitvlugt 1997 - a big name that this bottling can't really live up to. As you would expect from continental Uitvlugts, the typical basic herbal character is also found here, complemented by walnut and pencil. The oily sweetness is exciting, reminiscent of honey or maple syrup and surprisingly dominant.
Review by Mentalo
Kontinental gereifter 1997er Uitvlugt von Rum Artesanal. Der Alkohol ist gut eingebunden. Schöne Süße, leichte Honignote, viele Kräuter. Im Abgang kommen dann deutlich bittere Noten durch. Insgesamt aber stimmig, wenn man den Stil mag.
Review by Thunderbird
Ein klassischer kontinentaler Uitvlugt mit recht ausgewogenen Aromen. Ein kleiner Wermutstropfen ist der leicht späte recht bittere Abgang. Aber insgesamt ist er, wenn auch nicht herausragend, recht ordentlich .
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
For the fact that I rarely like continental matured Guyana rums, especially uitvluigt is often not my cup of tea, this one is surprisingly good. The only thing that irritates me is the very present sweetness, which is almost reminiscent of honey in terms of viscosity. It also has slight tendencies of 2000 WIRDs. The alcohol could be a tad better integrated, but this is still a solid older continental Uitvluigt.
