Back in the region of Demerara with the Uitvlugt 1991 from Rasta Morris, new bottler in the world of rum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, Rasta Morris is the \u00ab\u00a0Rum\u00a0\u00bb version of the Belgian Whiskey bottler, Asta Morris<\/a>, to whom we owe Chichibu, Caol Ila, Glen Keith and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, it is the very last baby of Bert that I propose you, a venerable uitvlugt aged 26, distilled in 1991 and grading 58.8% of alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aging should be continental based on the fact that Demerara Distillers has only offered 100% tropical selections to Velier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore uitvlugt, closed distillery since the late 90s, is particularly known by aficionados of rums because it will have housed in it the famous Port Mourant still and a column Savalle. The whole thing is now in the only distillery of DDL, Diamond Distillery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So It may happen that this uitvlugt is actually a Port Mourant, or not … as often, no certainty because the mark is not specified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my part, the shadow of Port Mourant will still slightly hover throughout this tasting but with the beautiful aspects of it. I explain that to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for the sample Bert !<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Color<\/strong>: quite classic rums aged in Europe, this uitvlugt is quite clear, drawing on white wine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 26 years locked have not turned into \u00ab\u00a0dark demerara rum\u00a0\u00bb, so I imagine no addition molasses when setting the barrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nose<\/strong>: Very fruity with white fruit such as pear, apple, grapes and a hint of quetsche. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exoticism is present also with a beautiful pineapple. I don’t find any trace of coconut or solvent as on the monstrous 1997 uitlugt of Velier for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brown sugar adds a slight touch of gluttony to this beautiful basket of fruits, it is very appreciable as a nose!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a nice spicy note with pepper in the head and a slight vanilla, liquorice and rubbery rather typical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately, this nose makes me think of a Port Mourant. Just this bitterness with which I have so much trouble but who does not seem to be part of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it suits me strongly, but doubt seems allowed …\u00a0 So, it would not that I don’t care \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palate<\/strong>: rather sweet, alcohol is very well integrated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We find directly the aromatic palette of the nose with fruits, brown sugar, rubber and spices with pepper in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dried fruits and the wood are also part and bring a more austere side but far from being unpleasant to this very fruitful uitvlugt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final, long enough, still leaves a touch of bitterness that evokes me … yes, Port Mourant again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I tell you that the shadow of this venerable alembic hangs over this tasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price<\/strong>: 230 \u20ac … yes, it’s not cheap but it’s still a very old stuff<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong>: very nice selection for a beautiful continental uitvlugt. We are light years away from the big demerara that stains, more in subtlety and complexity.Proof again, if necessary, that the demerara rum are incredibly rich.I like a lot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still a little reading?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
