The Bonpland 1999 Guyana Uitvlugt 19yo 45% 500ml is a single cask rum with a storied history and a distinctive flavor profile. Distilled in 1999 at the now-closed Uitvlugt distillery in Guyana, this rum's origins trace back to a region renowned for its exceptional rums. After the distillery's closure, the stills were relocated to the Diamond distillery. This particular rum spent 19 years aging, with part of its maturation process taking place in Germany in a German wine cask, adding unique characteristics to its profile.
Bottled by Bonpland, a brand established by master blender Andreas Vallendar, this rum is a testament to the art of finishing rums in German wine casks. The final six months of maturation were spent in wine casks from Weingut Bernhard Huber, a celebrated Pinot Noir producer in Germany. This finishing touch imbues the rum with an added layer of complexity and depth.
The rum presents a spicy and velvety character, enriched with fruity notes of pear and apple. The prolonged aging and the wine cask finish contribute a subtle smokiness, enhancing its intricate flavor profile. This well-aged and unique rum will captivate any rum enthusiast, offering a harmonious blend of Guyanese and German influences that make it a standout in any collection.
This rum was distilled in 1999 and aged for 19 years. It was bottled in 2018, making it a well-matured spirit.

Overall Taste: This rum offers a complex and multifaceted profile, characterized by sweet, spicy, and smoky flavors with hints of fruit, wood, and spice.
Surprisingly good Sancti Spiritus! Probably one of the oldest to date. It is smoky and fruity at the same time, very complex and long-lasting. However, the wine finish is a matter of personal preference. On the other hand, some find it not at all to their liking, describing it as tasting like pencil lead.
