Zuidam Flying Dutchman Dark No.3

Flying Dutchman Dark No.3 is a Dutch dark rum from Zuidam Distillers, made from fresh sugar cane molasses and distilled in copper pot stills. It is aged for at least three years in ex-bourbon American oak casks, with no added sugar or colouring. The rum is approachable but characterful, with warm, woody tones. It suits classic rum cocktails such as a Dark 'n' Stormy or an Old Fashioned, and can also be sipped neat. On the nose there is vanilla, caramel, dried fruit and a hint of oak spice. The palate brings toffee, raisins, molasses and light gingerbread spice with a soft touch of wood, leading to a medium, gentle finish with a little vanilla.
