Holmes Cay Uitvlugt Guyana 2003
Sipped neat at 51%, this is a soft, drinkable Guyana single cask that most tasters take without water. Expect caramel, vanilla, cherry and dried prune, with a lick of cola and a faint burnt-tire note in the finish. One reviewer called it "sweet but not syrupy" — flavourful and balanced, though the ex-bourbon cask does a lot of the talking.
The community says- Smooth for 51%
- Dried fruit depth
- Very ex-bourbon driven

Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Smooth, caramel-and-dried-fruit Guyana sipper Well-liked and easy to sip for the proof, with dried fruit and caramel throughout. The catch: it reads very ex-bourbon, so some find the distillate character light.

Review by Kayla Roy
Delicious, very drinkable to those who can face the proof. The bottle says it’s good with water, and I’m sure it is, but I didn’t get that far. It’s sweet without being cloying, with lots of dried fruit notes.
Review by Madi Dromamad
The nose is very fresh, with notes of caramel, fresh herbs and vanilla. Round and slightly caramelized on the palate. The whole is complex and well-balanced. The finish gives way to minty, aniseed notes.
Review by primus
Quite unspectacular on the nose, but what comes on the palate is great: fruity profile, supported by the dark notes, malt, coffee, cask,
Review by Anton Krioukov
Delicious! But I was honestly expecting it to be woodier for the age. Does not need water. Sweet but not syrupy, medium complexity and an easy to drink pour.
