From the Port Mourant still in Guyana to a Danish wine merchant's name on the label. Wild Series #19 is RomDeLuxe's tribute to a cask that travelled between two climates and three decades before finally being bottled.
Expert Description
RomDeLuxe Wild Series Rum #19 Uitvlugt Uhrskov Vine is a Guyana Rum from a single cask, distilled in 1990 on the famous Port Mourant pot still, aged 30 years and bottled at 55.2%.
The rum comes from the Uitvlugt distillery in Guyana, where it was distilled on the historic Port Mourant double wooden pot still, one of the most iconic and oldest still-operating distillation units in the world. After distillation, the rum first aged five years in Guyana's tropical climate before being moved to Denmark and continuing to age continentally for the rest of the 30 years. This transition from tropical to continental ageing gives the rum a different character than if it had remained in the tropics the whole way. The series was created specifically for the Danish wine merchant Uhrskov Vinhandel, and only 231 bottles were produced.
RomDeLuxe, the Danish bottling house behind the series, is known for selecting rare, characterful single casks from around the world and bottling them without additives.
