Uitvlugt Rum Sponge No. 26 1990
"Amazing in every way," one taster called it, and the people who love this old Uitvlugt point to the same things: old varnished wood, prunes and dried fruit, milk chocolate, a mineral pencil-shavings edge and green pepper. It sits on the dry, slightly bitter side rather than sweet, with the 33 years and 51.8% ABV nicely integrated. Balanced and mature, not a power bomb.

How does Uitvlugt Rum Sponge No. 26 1990 taste?
Aggregated from 20 community reviews.
Dry, woody old Guyana with prunes Loved by most: a dry, woody Guyana rum full of varnished old oak, prunes and pencil-shavings. A touch bitter and astringent up front, but well-balanced with a long finish.

Review by zabo
Wow wow wow. What a bullet!!! Thank you Sascha for digging it out of the depths of your warehouse. I regret having squandered this one! I should have kept a lot more of this good stuff! The price is a bit steep, but compared to other prices for some rums it's still a bargain.
Review by Johannes
Exciting, very good rum! Slightly bitter at the beginning, astringent, then slightly fruity, lead pencil, slightly bitter again in the finish. Alcohol is well integrated, nice complexity. It reminds me of an Enmore MEV 1990 like Rum Artesanal or Our Rum & Spirits, i.e. Versailles, almost like KFM on the finish. Uitvlugt is on the label, so Port Mourant - I would rather rule that out. It has no herbal PM notes.
Review by cigares
Un rhum dégusté au Whisky Live à Paris en 2024. Beaucoup de notes sombres avec du vieux bois verni mais beaucoup d’expressivité aussi. La bouche est boisée, mais ici les fruits secs s’ajoutent aux pruneaux. La finale est longue sur le bois verni et les pruneaux. Un beau rhum, comme souvent chez Sponge.
Review by Manuel
Ein sehr schöner Guyana Rum, der eher auf der trockenen und bitteren Seite ist. Trotz der langen Lagerung sind die Holzeinflüsse nicht zu extrem. Mittellanger Abgang mit würzigen und erdigen Einflüssen.
