Uitvlugt Demerara Rum 1995 (bottled 2022) - Flashback (Swell de Spirits) | 500ML

For this expression in its Flashback series, indie bottlers Swell de Spirits have bottled a little piece of history. This single cask rum from the Uitvlugt distillery in Guyana was distilled in 1995, four years before the distillery closed, and matured in a rum cask until 2000, and an American oak cask after that. It was bottled in 2022 with an outturn of only 264 bottles, at cask strength, with no added colour or chill filtration.

Distillery Information

Uitvlugt (pronounced “eye-flut”) is a village in Guyana, based on the west bank of the Demerara River, however the name is Dutch. Back in the 17th century most sugar cane plantations produced their own rum. The Dutch-owned Uitvlugt Distillery was established around 1750, housing double wooden pot stills which produced a heavy style rum. However, in 1975 the government began privatising sugar plantations and distilleries, amalgamating them into one large distillery owned by the Guyana Liquor Corporation, and this sadly saw the close of Uitvglut in 2000. The only remaining distillery in Guyana is the acclaimed Diamond Distillery, which acquired the stills from Uitvlugt.
