The Colours of Rum 1989 Uitvlugt Guyana edition No.3 is a venerable 32-year-old rum bottled in 2022 with an impressive ABV of 64.1%. Distilled at the historic Uitvlugt Distillery in Guyana, this special release from The Colours of Rum saw a limited run of just 222 bottles. This rum stands out not only for its age but also for its remarkable complexity and delicious profile. The aroma is intense and full-bodied, combining spicy, woody, and fruity notes with tropical fruits like papaya, black currant, and cherry, complemented by mint, light wood acidity, and a touch of vinegar. The sweetness of maple syrup, forest honey, toffee, and milk chocolate adds depth. On the palate, it delivers an intense complexity with roasted, woody, and slightly bitter notes, featuring hints of licorice, dark chocolate, and mocha. The finish is long-lasting, with spicy and woody notes, and a lingering aftertaste of dried dates, licorice, tea, raisins, and barrel. This edition is a testament to the exceptional quality and heritage of Guyanese rums and the expert curation by The Colours of Rum.
This rum is unique due to its 32-year aging period, high ABV of 64.1%, and limited release of just 222 bottles. The distillation at the now-closed Uitvlugt Distillery using the Port Mourant double wooden pot still adds to its distinctiveness.
The rum was aged for a significant period in Europe, with 20 years spent in an ex-whisky barrel, allowing it to develop a rich and complex flavor profile.
The primary flavor notes include spicy, woody, and fruity elements, along with hints of licorice, dark chocolate, mocha, and tropical fruits like papaya and black currant.
The Colours of Rum 1989 Uitvlugt Guyana edition No.3 is a remarkable rum that stands out for its exceptional complexity and depth. Despite its high alcohol content, the rum is wonderfully balanced, offering a rich tapestry of flavors from tropical fruits to dark chocolate and spices. It's a superb example of a well-aged Demerara rum, and a must-try for any serious rum enthusiast. While the price tag may be steep, this limited edition bottle is undoubtedly a worthwhile investment for its quality and rarity.
