Rasta Morris 1991 Uitvlugt Guyana Cask #RM 004, aged for 26 years and bottled at 58.8% ABV in a 700ml presentation, is a rare and exquisite rum that encapsulates the distinctive flavors of Guyana. Distilled in 1991 at the now-defunct Uitvlugt Distillery, this rum offers a window into the rich heritage of Demerara rum production. Rasta Morris, a new yet remarkable name in the rum bottling world and the rum arm of Belgian whisky bottler Asta Morris, has unveiled this aged treasure for enthusiasts to savor.
Upon pouring a glass of this historic rum, one is welcomed by a clear, light color, reminiscent of aged European rums. The aroma exudes the essence of white-flesh fruits such as pear, apple, and grape, with exotic hints of pineapple. The presence of brown sugar lends a touch of sweetness, while spices like pepper, vanilla, and liquorice add a layer of balanced complexity. On the palate, these flavors meld seamlessly with notes of fruit, brown sugar, and rubbery undertones, spiced with pepper. This culminates in a long, intense finish characterized by phenolic, full-bodied notes and a subtle bitterness, showcasing the influence of the iconic Port Mourant still.
Overall, this Uitvlugt rum delivers a sophisticated and complex experience, highlighting the nuances of Guyanese rum craftsmanship. While priced at 230€, it is a worthy investment for rum connoisseurs eager to delve into the depths of Demerara rums. This selection stands as a delightful representation of Uitvlugt's continental style, offering a refined deviation from the traditional heavy Demerara profile while maintaining exceptional quality and complexity. Cheers to Rasta Morris for this outstanding bottling!
