- Description
- Zuidam's Flying Dutchman is a molasses rum distilled three times in copper pot stills and aged for 12 months in new American oak, which accelerates vanilla and wood-sugar development. Tropical fruit, crème brûlée, toffee apple, and toasted oak dominate the palate, with the new wood providing assertive sweetness and spice. At 40% ABV, it's approachable but characterful. A lively introduction to Dutch rum-making for those seeking richness without extreme age statements.
