TRC Uitvlugt (Port Mourant) Guyana PM 1997
People who chase Port Mourant for its herbal, tea-driven side will feel at home here. Expect lots of black and green tea, herbs, dried fruit and green apple, with the 54% woven in so well it drinks lighter than the number suggests. It's dry — one taster even called it almost salty — and unusually pale and un-woody for 23 years. Complex, but the short finish frustrates several fans.

How does TRC Uitvlugt (Port Mourant) Guyana PM 1997 taste?
Aggregated from 60 community reviews.
Dry, tea-and-herb PM with a short finish Most find it complex, elegant and beautifully integrated for the ABV, with a distinct tea-and-herb profile. The recurring gripe: a surprisingly short finish for its age, and a dryness some find atypical.

Very round, delicious rum from Guyana - Uitvlugt. Very pleasant to drink, i would say a rum for every day. Alcohol is integrated very well.

Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Super komplex. Viele Aromen. Geiler Stoff. Abgang eher kurz.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Very tempting rum, especially on the nose. Predicate: a lip licker. 😋
Review by Gregor
Keine Fehler. Der Alkohol ist sauber eingebunden. Das Produkt ist lang anhaltend und komplex. Rundum ein schöner Vertreter für guyana
Review by Buddudharma
Very nice, elegant and complex flavor profile, well balanced between fruit, sweetness and the typical PM notes. Only the very short, unspectacular finish prevents an even higher rating.

Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Retating today. Still find it delicious, but to be fair to other rums I tried in the meantime, Im moving it down a point, beautiful nose, could be more complex on the mouth. I find it delicious and interesting. On the nose unusual tropical fruits, green apple, some mirabelles and fresh wood. herbs and olives appear in taste, finish mostly feel green tea, medium length.
Review by zabo
Edit: I like it better and better every time I try it Guyana, a completely different taste in the rum world for me. As I've never dealt intensively with this category before, it's difficult to describe my first impressions. Very interesting in any case. Definitely makes you want more. I think I'll have to taste it again, definitely.
Review by woisit
Sehr komplex, im Aroma tropische Früchte und Gewürze, am Gaumen eher vegetal. Durch Wasser wird er süßer und flacher. Angesichts des Alters vergleichsweise kurzer Abgang.
Review by Jakob
They exist, the inspiring continental aged Uitvlugts from the 90s. This bottling confirms that exemplary for the 1997 vintage; no style break to various other releases of the same vintage, the typical green, fruity and spicy notes play here but in the big orchestra and dare to go to extremes without overflowing. To stay in the musical context, the difference to other releases of comparable vintages and Marques could probably be described with a performance of the local brass band and that of the preferred philharmonic orchestra - the melody may remain recognizable, but the sophistication of the performance is at home in different leagues. Very successful!
Review by Agricoler
Perfekt eingebundenen Alkohol richtig toller Rum. Viele kräuterig teeige Noten gepaart mit tropischen Früchten.Wenn gleich mich Port Mourant nicht immer zu überzeugen weiß. Schlichtweg Tagesform abhängig.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Lots of green tea in this one. Dry. Cranberry. Green apple/fruits. Very spirit driven, hardly any wood influence. The complexity hides within its dry tones. Its a pleasant drop but also a bit a-typical for a P.M. because of that dryness.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Sehr Kräutrig und würzig, vor allem in der Nase. Sehr vielschichtig und komplex, aber vergleichsweise kurz im Abgang. Etwas überraschend für das Alter und angesichts der Komplexität auch ein wenig schade. Trotzdem ein wirklich toller Rum!
Review by DomM
Vertical PM tasting: 89 / 95 /97 / 97 (cognac finish) / 02 / 05 / 13: Nose: Classic PM notes with some additional depth vs. the younger bottlings. Palate: nice complexity paying tribute to its age. Delivers what you would hope for in a continental PM with a nice touch of dried fruits.
Review by Frank
Nach längerer Pause mal wieder einen schönen, alten Uitvlugt im Glas… Nase: feine, frische Aromen, Orange und Zitrone mit lieblich-säuerlicher Stachelbeere, roter Johannisbeere und Passionsfrucht. Dahinter eine malzige Süße von Honig oder kandierten Früchten im Zusammenspiel mit würzigem Muskat und etwas Anis. Sandelholz, Harz und Bleistiftmine spielen auch noch mit. Angenehmer und schöner Eindruck. 8,6 Gaumen: kräftig und intensiv. Ordentlich salzig und leicht bitter zu Beginn. Trocken, fast etwas metallisch. Zitronenschale und Limette. Wirkt mittig leicht verbrannt und herb-nussig-holzig, bekommt aber hinten heraus wieder etwas Frucht mit roter Johannisbeere. Am Ende kommt auch noch mal der salzige Eindruck vom Beginn. Schöne Geschmackskurve. Der ist gut. 8,4
Review by Martin Augustin
Ein gelungener Port Mourant. Der Alkohol ist super eingebunden und er ist komplex. Kräuter überwiegen. Erstaunlich kurzer Abgang.
Review by Johannes Eisner
Schöner komplexer PM. Mein Favorit unter den post-70/80s.
Review by Stylo
Although really pale in color, it is not a boring rum! The nose is very flavorful, with dark fruits upfront (plums and dates), wet wood and lots of mildly sweet spices (anice and nutmeg). I the background I can sense a grassy note (I agree with the community, which senses a tea flavor). The palate is very warm and spicy, the tea is still there, although I apparently lost the dark fruits, which are covered by the alcohol burn. The finish is kinda odd, with wood and lychees with a dry bitterness from the tea.
