Uitvlugt distillery was established at the end of the 18th century on the west bank of the Demerara river near the Dutch-established town of the same name. The distillery remained Dutch-owned until the government in Guyana began to nationalise and consolidate the country’s rum production in 1974. Thereafter it became part of the portfolio of Demerara Distillers Ltd (DDL), who closed it down at the end of 1999. Uitvlugt's signature four-column French Savalle still was established in the early 1920s, now one of the operational “Heritage Stills” relocated in 2000 to Diamond, the last remaining distillery in the country.
One of the offerings from Velier's "Golden Age of Demerara Rums", this bottling was distilled at Uitvlugt in 1996, tropically aged and bottled July 2014 from four barrels. The GS cask mark indicates that this rum was produced in the four-column Savalle still. One of only 1,124 bottles.
