Silent Ambassador Uitvlugt 1997
Sip this one neat, and give it time — several tasters say it needs to rest or a few drops of water to really open up. Then you get that classic Uitvlugt PM profile: anise and licorice, green tea and chamomile, overripe yellow fruits, and a savory olive note running through it. Dry, woody, faintly tarry finish. Elegant and subtle rather than loud.
The community says- Elegant PM profile
- Complex and balanced
- Anise can dominate

Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Dry, floral Uitvlugt with anise and olive A well-matured, complex Guyana single cask that rewards patience. Loved for its floral, aniseed and olive character, though a few find the anise a bit heavy.

Review by Kovalyoff
Nose: green canned olives, complex ethereal compounds that are not associated with anything - just something inedible, like rusty iron and the warm waste of machine oil at a car change. The alcohol is not sensed at all. Interesting. Taste: very strongly salty, brine and capers confirm (but we are closer to barrel pickles), eucalyptus oil and mint create a pleasant coldness. The finish is long, salty, like sweat). I liked it. I don't think this bottle has investment appeal, but purely rolling this is a very yearly rum (for my taste). The overall impression is 90 for sure. Bottles are still available, but already at €186 in Belgium.
Review by mto75
great PM profile, reminds me somewhat of the Rum Cask 97/23y with the wonderful olive note. On the nose beyond that also anise, caramel, yellow fruit, green tea. On the palate, allspice, mocha, candied. In the finish black tea and passion fruit. Really tasty!
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Pretty classic aniseed flavours overall. Typical PM stills. This is an elegant rum. Light yellow fruits leaning toward overripe (Peaches. Kiwi. Pear) but not right there. A candied sweetness - like the sugarcoating of the oriental snack: sugared chickpeas. The beauty lies in its subtleness. Very flowery/floral: rose(water), violins, chamomille (including the dryness and mustiness). I like it a lot.
Review by Thunderbird
A very good Uitvlugt, full of character and quite complex! He comes in nose rather fruity (papaya, heavy old yellow fruit )hence! The palate is initially sweet but quickly changes to a spicy woody, then toasted mocha-like note! Overall very smooth and elegant! The finish is woody and then quite bitter..later joins some dried fruit!
