Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This rum is a top notch when it comes to flavours as well as complexity and balance. Perfect ABV integration and lightly dry with nice fruits and roasted wood. The spices only enhances the overall profile. I really like the coffee on the finish and the empty glass is wonderful even after several hours.
Review by Johannes
Fantastic PM! My favorite of the 89!
Review by Frank
Wow is the old, wow is the beautiful!Nose: complex and intense. Pleasantly woody with nice dark fruit and a subtle spiciness. Woody acidity with maple syrup and some Maggi. Moist pipe tobacco to go with it. Cherry and grape and some orange with dried apricot. A slightly vinous undertone. Palate: elegant and full-bodied. Super round wood for its age. Malty toast, sweet and sour treacle, light nutty bitter notes from pecans. Wood acidity and newsprint segue into dried apricot, tr. date. Rear light anise and black tea.Great flavor curve on the palate.
Review by Christoph H.
Many continental Port Mourant of all bottlers, have already found their way into my glass. In my eyes, however, most of it is hardly worth mentioning and just okay. But what was produced here in '89, you simply can not compare. Here, continental aging can definitely keep up with various tropical Demeraras. Especially the SS surprised me very positively. A very intense and complex nose with lots of peach and solvent. Absolutely smooth to drink. I like it very much!

Very complex, really fun
Review by cigares
Tasted at the same time as the Silver Seal Demerara 1974 and compared unfavorably. Fresher but far less complex. A nose of old leather, bitter orange and creosote. An astonishing palate with fresh almond, smoke and caramel. Very long finish. Much less powerful and complex than the 1974 Demerara. Also weak compared to the Velier SVW 96, but hard to shine against this monster. Thanks Thomas for the sample.
Review by Thunderbird
This Uitvlugt inspires me! I find it quite complex, with a constant alternation between heavy sweetish fruit and old barrel with burnt espresso on top! Delightful!
