The Swell de Spirits Flashback series #3 is a unique rum produced in Guyana at the Demerara Distillers Ltd distillery, specifically from the Uitvlugt distillery which was closed in 1999. This limited release rum was distilled in March 1995 using a Double Wooden Pot Still from the Port Mourant distillery. It was aged in a former rum cask until 2000, then in American oak until April 2022, culminating in a total of 264 bottles produced at a cask strength of 53.4% ABV. This rum has been praised for its pleasant and subtle Uitvlugt character, with a fragrant and fruity nose boasting notes of eucalyptus, nutty, cereal, smoky, and buttery aromas. The flavor profile includes oak, brown sugar, smoky notes, mango, and passion fruit, making it an intriguing and well-rounded rum. Some have noted its unusual freshness and palate dominated by a pleasant citrus touch. This rum is a true gem for enthusiasts and collectors, carrying a unique history as it was distilled at the Uitvlugt distillery, which housed the stills from Albion, Blairmont, Port Mourant, Skeldon, and Enmore distilleries from 1960 to 1999. The rum was aged in cask number 12 and retains its natural color as it has not been cold filtered.
