Distilled in 2001 on the legendary French Savalle Still transferred from Uitvlugt upon its closing to Diamond Distillery, this rum carries the marque SWR, attributed to the long close Skeldon distillery. Aged for 20 years this was bottled at full proof in 2021 by independent bottler Tamosi.

 

Bottled for Milhade, this is one if 213 bottles.

 

THE BRAND

The Uitvlugt distillery was founded around 1750 in the homonymous town of British Guyana on the banks of Demerara river. At that time protectorate of Holland, it takes its name from Ignatius Uitvlugt, a rich Dutch planter, who owned an enormous sugar plantation. The rapid nationalization of the sugar factories and their distilleries in 1974, with the consequent flight of foreign capital, created tremendous management difficulties, which led the Government to decide to dismantle the various distilleries, leaving only one active.

 

Originally operating double wooden pot stills, these were replaced by a four column French Savalle still in 1920s. In 1950s Port Mourant distillery was also dismantled by Government’s decision and its double wooden pot still, transferred to Uitvlugt. In 1994, the Enmore distillery suffered the same fate and its EHP wooden coffey still and Versailles single wooden pot still, were also moved to Uitvlugt.

 

The Uitvlugt distillery closed at the end of 1999 and its precious stills, know to date as the “Heritage Stills”, transferred to Demerara Distillers ltd.
