The Velier Demerara 1996 Uitvlugt Modified GS is a truly exceptional and limited release rum, with only 1124 bottles produced, making it a rare gem for collectors and connoisseurs alike. Distilled in 1996 at the historic Uitvlugt distillery in Guyana, this rum was crafted from molasses using the renowned Savalle Still. After being aged for 18 years under tropical conditions, it was bottled in July 2014, resulting in a rum with a robust ABV of 57.2%. This exquisite rum is celebrated for its complex and highly aromatic profile. The aroma is a captivating blend of coconut, vanilla, woody notes, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate. On the palate, one can savor a harmonious mix of vanilla, coconut, caramel, spice, and oak. The rum's well-balanced and full-bodied nature is evident, leading to a long, delicious finish that has been compared to a banana split topped with caramelized coconut chips. Produced by the esteemed Velier, known for their meticulous attention to quality, this rum is part of their 'Black Bottles' series. The aging process in the tropics led to a significant angel's share of over 78%, further intensifying its flavor profile.
