Not bad, but not stunning either. Remains somewhat behind the concise 8-year-old caramel bomb in the Oloroso cask. Nose: vanilla, solid, seems older (83 points); Palate: vanilla again, some coconut, long and warm persistence (81 points). Is this a rum from Barbados? The question of origin unfortunately leaves one perplexed with all three bottlings - why on earth don't the wind millers state that?
The Zuidam distillery not only impresses with its Millstone whiskies, its rums are also very promising. This 10-year-old bottling is reminiscent of Barbados and Belize due to its slightly fruity aroma, which is otherwise characterized by toasted wood with a slight glue vapor as well as vanilla and coconut. A little more depth would be nice, but otherwise I like it a lot.
The second windmill... Nose: very fruity-spicy-sweet. Coconut with cream toffee and butterscotch, sugar syrup and cherry, apricot and sweet and sour redcurrant predominate. The new wooden barrel provides plenty of vanilla and your very light smoky note. Again, too much sweet toffee for me, but quite delicate. 7,7 Palate: woody and spicy with liquorice and vanilla. Grape, peach and orange peel, slightly bitter and a little sour. The peach dominates here. Quite ok, but lacks some depth. 7,7
Goes in the direction of Foursquare with nice barrel notes and some coconut.
