About the Distillery
The Uitvlugt distillery operated on the west bank of the Demerara River until its closure in 2000, and its stills - including some of the most historically significant wooden stills in rum production - were later transferred to Diamond Distillery. Uitvlugt’s output is recognized for its depth, structure, and distinctive heritage character, making older bottlings such as this 1974 vintage central to the legacy and mythology of Demerara rum.
