product Details

Uitvlugt 1996 Velier 18 Year Old Modified GS

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. 

Bonded in 1996 and bottled July 2014 from four barrels.

The GS cask mark indicates that this rum was produced in the Four Column Savalle still at Uitvlugt distillery. Uitvlugt closed in 2000, however many of its stills are still active at the Diamond distillery.

One of 1,124 bottles drawn from 4 barrels.
