It's not as smooth sipping rum what I was hoping for. It has the sweetness caramel vanilla tone, though quite a harsh finish. It's in the category of just above average quality dark rum - no wow factor.

Bottle label print and naming as stated here will change due to legal issues with Berry Bros & Rudd, owner of No 3 London Dry Gin.So future labels of Zuidam will be not No 3 but Number 3.

First thing that comes to mind is whiskey. Both taste and nose. Pretty smooth though. No extraordinary taste. I like it for every day use. Price is ok. Looking forward to see more international reviews here.

Vůně je na první pocit nejasná. Následně jdou cítit švestky.
Chuť je příjemně rumová.

the longer ferment and pot still distilation make this a tastefull rum but still with a hint of harshness on the back end. But for being a rum from my home country i had to try it and i have to say it the zuiddam family didnt disapoint!

Had a bit of hope i could sip this, but that was whishfull thinking. Not a lot of taste except the ethanol afterburn.
Not my cup of tea. This will be bottle that will last a very long time. Sorry can,t make it better than this.

en Rom lagret i 3 år har man ikke så store forventninger til. Ubestemmelig i lukten, og minner meg om en whisky og en sterk ettersmak.

I expected more of the zuidam distillers. Strong alcohol taste for a rum.

Nope, it doesn't work for me. I think Zuidam pulled it off with their white rum but this one couldn't impress me. I've had it for ages and it's still not empty, dozens of other rums have come and gone in the meantime. It is harsh, the burn is a little too great, even for me, and the flavours are all over the place making it hard to distinguish what you are tasting. The prominent alchohol taste complicates it further.

Smells like anise, tastes like pills. Reminds me a scotish whiskey. Not what I am looking for in rum.
