In line with government privatisation of sugar cane and rum production the distillery closed in 2000 and the stills and equipment were moved to DDL (or the Diamond Distillery if you prefer).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo the Uitvlugt part of the title identifies that this rum was produced on one of the stills from the Uitvlugt distillery and at the time of distillation the distillery was still active.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo we are getting a little piece of history in this bottle as the year is noted as 1996.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Modified GS part of the title indicates the marque on the cask and it is noted that this was one of DDL’s experimental bottlings (along with the ULR Uitvlugt light rum).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rum was produced on the Four Column French Savalle Still which is used today by DDL and can produce 9 different marques of rum. From light to heavy bodied rums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rum is said to be very light bodied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottled at cask strength of 57.2% ABV this is an 18 year old rum which was released (and sold out) in 2014, even at around £150 per bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere were only 1124 bottles and a remarkable 78% of losses due to the Angel’s Share!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rum is presented in an opaque wine style bottle with a very simple but very bold orange and white fonts on a dark green label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe information contained on the bottle relates solely to how the rum was produced – no fanciful marketing stories here. All the rums in the Velier’s portfolio have a colour scheme dependent on the still\/distillery Green and Orange for Uitvlugt – Navy and White for Port Mourant etc.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Velier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53486714454352,"sku":null,"price":47.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0882\/3531\/1440\/files\/C875E88B-4643-4908-8B76-842B8D831F01.webp?v=1787922694","url":"https:\/\/gorillarum.com\/products\/sample-velier-uitvlugt-1996-modified-gs-18yr-57-2-3cl","provider":"Gorilla Rum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
