The Kill Devil 1998 Single Cask Guyana Uitvlugt 18yo 46% 700ml is an extraordinary rum that captures the rich heritage and complex flavors of the renowned Uitvlugt Distillery in Guyana. Established by Dutch colonists on the west bank of the Demerara River, the Uitvlugt Distillery has a storied past, though it was eventually closed along with all other distilleries in Guyana, except for Diamond. The Diamond Distillery managed to salvage many of Uitvlugt's stills, including the highly prized Savalle-type still, which is celebrated for its versatility in producing a wide spectrum of distillates, from neutral to highly fruity. This rum, distilled in 1998 and bottled in 2016, boasts 18 years of meticulous aging. Remarkably, despite its age, the rum's nose remains light and refined, free from overpowering woody notes. The aroma unfolds with prominent fruity notes of orange, apple, and pear, complemented by a subtle hint of wax. On the palate, the rum offers a well-balanced alcohol presence without added sugar, revealing a different set of fruit flavors—more exotic and intriguing. The finish is long and satisfying, with the initial fruitiness giving way to warm, empyreumatic notes, and a final hint of mango leaving a velvety impression on the tongue. Overall, Kill Devil 1998 Single Cask Guyana Uitvlugt 18yo is a remarkable expression of the Uitvlugt Distillery's legacy, showcasing a harmonious blend of flavors and a smooth, extended finish. With only 221 bottles available, this is a rare gem for rum aficionados.
