Flying Dutchman No 3

Lazy Dodo got rebranded:-D Is it flying Dodo which never meant to fly or is it just a lazy Dutchman? No matter what it tastes really good if you forget about the weird smell.

As a Dutchman I was quite curious about the Zuidam rum. Although not the best rum out there, I was pleasantly surprised by the taste. Fairly strong taste, but I like it. Good bang for your buck.

Flying Dutchman No 3, first sips are wirh an edge, but this dutch rum does show what Zuidam can do. Good rum.

Bought this one because im from Holland and its the only dutch rum. But not the best rum out there. Sorry for that.

Flach und leicht im Geschmack. Gut für Anfänger aufgrund der leichten und nicht zu komplexen Aromen.

No nose and the first sip is harsh and butter without any flavor depth. Mixed nit much better with a noticeable bite to it, Passable with coke but not much else. Not for my bar...

Schönes Honiggelb im Glas.
In der Nase eher Whiskey als Rum. Mit Butter bestrichene Tannenzapfen die in einem Kupferkännchen liegen.
Im Gaumen etwas alkoholisch aber schön warm und süss. Karamell, Früchte sind zu erahnen, etwas zu verwaschen und durcheinander.
Im Abgang bleibt vor allem eine alkoholische Schärfe und Käse Aromen zurück.
Ein Rum ohne wirkliche Struktur der vielleicht etwas zu jung ist.

Beautiful honey yellow in the jar.
In the nose more whiskey than rum. Buttered fir cones in a copper jug.
On the palate somewhat alcoholic but nice warm and sweet. Caramel, fruits are to be guessed, something to be washed out and mixed up.
In the aftertaste remains above all an alcoholic spiciness and cheese aromas.
A rum without real structure which is perhaps a bit too young.

Afskyelig duft af rosiner, der har ligget for længe, og fermenteret frugt. Måtte virkelig tage tilløb for at smage. Mindede utrolig meget om Rum-bar overproof Jamaica rom. Smagen er dog en smule bedre end duften, men stadig ikke noget, jeg vil anbefale. Lidt smag af lakrids og peber i eftersmagen og en smule tørret frugt til at starte med. På den positive side var den ikke sprittet og der var en lidt "bred" smag til at starte med, men duften ødelægger hele oplevelsen, og absolut den værste i året kalender indtil videre (9.

Only 3 years old, it is still quite harsh. It seems to be made from sugar cane juice, which is confirmed by the grassy aroma. Flavor itself was neither bad nor great, could not pick up anything besides the sweet.
