- Description
- Holmes Cay's bottling of Guyana's Uitvlugt 2003 was distilled on a four-column Savalle still and matured 18 years total—two years in Guyana, 16 in the UK—before bottling in New York. The ex-bourbon cask has imparted cocoa, tobacco, and cinnamon on the nose while tropical fruit notes of mango, pineapple, and almond dominate the palate. A well-integrated rum suited to contemplative sipping or mixing with care.
