How does this rum taste?
The "FRC Dutch Windmill Collection (The Kinderdijk)" rum is an intriguing offering from the Zuidam distillery, bottled by Oldman Spirits GmbH. This 8-year-old cask strength rum, boasting a 52.2% ABV, features a prominent caramel and vanilla profile, enhanced by woody and spicy notes. Distilled using molasses and matured in Oloroso sherry casks, it offers a complex aroma and flavor palette that includes hints of coffee and molasses. While some users praise its creamy texture and unique caramel character, others noted a sometimes harsh alcohol presence. Limited to 292 bottles, this rum is sought after for its distinctiveness and notable sherry influence, earning appreciation from fans of specialty Oloroso finishes.

For me, clearly the strongest of the three current Windmill bottlings. As if you put your nose in a bag of butterscotch candies (86 points) and lick with your tongue at liquid, still warm caramel (82 points). Really extraordinary in its uniqueness, how do you get something like that without additives!?very high recognition value.
Un bonbon industriel au caramel. Vraiment pas mes goûts, il m’écœure au nez et en bouche pas un grand fan.
Schöne lecker süße Nase, die auch auf dem Gaumen überzeugen kann. Gefällt mir echt gut. Ich bin einfach ein Fan von FRC, die oft etwas veröffentlichen, was sonst keiner macht. Auch wenn nicht jede Abfüllung komplett überzeugt, mag ich die Philosophie.
Easily the best of this trio. This really gets Foursquare in a wine cask vibes. Not great but significantly better than the rest. I don't mind this at all. But alas, it does not really excite. Plus: foursquare those this better ;)
