The Wild Parrot 1997 Uitvlugt WP 97489 21yo 48.9% 700ml is a rum that boasts a rich heritage, hailing from the renowned Uitvlugt Distillery in Guyana.

With only 150 bottles ever produced, it stands as a rare gem for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The rum presents a clear white wine color, typical of continental Demerara rums. On the nose, it opens with earthy-herbaceous notes, followed by intriguing hints of licorice, anise, raisins, woody undertones, and leather. As you delve deeper, fresh notes of menthol and olive emerge, adding to its complexity. The palate is equally fascinating, with a sweet, slightly liqueur-like taste where tropical fruits soften the pronounced woody character. Flavors of vanilla, pepper, smoke, and an array of herbaceous and sweet notes combine harmoniously. The finish is warm, long-lasting, and rather dry, with lingering hints of licorice and citrus aroma.
