Cadenhead‘s Uitvlugt (Port Mourant) PM PM 1964 32yr 72,1%

"Nose If Diamond 1988 was Mozarts Requiem, this fellow is Bachs Mass in B-Minor! Hence deeper, more transcendental and complex. The driest plums from Bavaria. Raisins from Turkey. The finest tobacco from Vuelta Abajo. The sweetest Medjoul dates from Jordan. Burned insense straight from the Vatican. New Santoni leather boots. Damp earth in a jungle. Molasses and Art Deco furniture. But also mouthwatering scents of grilled lamb with mint in a morocan restaurant. Beneath all this wild stew, a subtle hint of lavender and Ylang-Ylang wafts through, lending elegance and finesse to the very oily and heavy notes. The Olympus of a bouquet. Palate Rome is burning ladies and gents! It's a juggernaut that crushes everything that came before it. By that we don't mean the incredibly well-integrated 72.1%, but the sheer force of flavours sizzling on the tongue. Big time molasses sweetness up front, carried by a fine cocoa bitterness of Bajan chocolate. Tonka beans creme, fleshy notes, morocan mint, cuban tobacco, intense Manuka Honey notes and Umami all over the place. The earthy, manioc root-y and leathery finish resembles the length of the Great Wall of China. Rating Can a rum get any better?The bouquet alone is so brillant and complex that you could easily sit down with a glass and a Charles Dickens book for days, just to smell and be satisfied. Palate-wise, it is comparable to the excellent 1975 Cadenhead's, only with slightly deeper and darker nuances. Anyone who wants a taste of spirits heaven should at least get a sample. La messa è finita. 96/100 Points"

"Brutal, complexe, lourd, intense et concentré.........qui ne fait pas de prisonniers. 72,1% ??? Oui, bien sûr 😁😃. 100/100.....il n'y a pas grand-chose d'autre à dire"

"Excellent rhum, bien que le plus faible de la série 1964. Le nez a besoin d'un peu de temps pour se développer pleinement, mais il offre ensuite une complexité enthousiasmante avec de superbes notes de tabac. En bouche, c'est également la classe mondiale absolue - notes de fût, cuir, pruneau, caramel... l'Olympe du rhum."

"Nez étonnant. Goût - GUYANA fort, sans acétylène ni résidus chimiques. Extrêmement rond, semblable à un rhum 3 ans 48%. Cuir, bois, un peu de caramel, fruits secs bruns - pruneaux, fiqs, dattes. Que manque-t-il aux 100% ? Le goût pourrait être encore plus intense."
