Uitvlugt ULR 1997 Velier 17 Year Old

One of a series of legendary bottlings from the brief but beautiful period (2004-2015) when Velier owned a small stake in Demerara Distillers Ltd (DDL), which afforded Luca Gargano privileged access the warehouses and his pick of casks to bottle. Sadly "The Age of Velier Demerara" has passed but the memory of it lives on in these spectacular releases. 

A fantastic 17 year old rum, distilled in 1997 at the lost Uitvlugt distillery in Guyana, on their Savalle column still. The casks were marked ULR, meaning "Uitvlugt Light Rum," an experimental batch produced that year.

Bottled in 2014 from a stock of 5 barrels which produced 1404 bottles.
