Description

Flying Dutchman Rum is a Premium Dutch Rum made by Zuidam Distillers who have over 50 years experience in the distilling trade. 

Zuidam Distillers is a family owned distillery based in the town of Baarle-Nassau in southern Netherlands. They are well known for producing traditional genevers (and gin), Dutch whisky under the Millstone label and a range of liqueurs. The company was founded in 1975 by Fred van Zuidam in 1975 with one copper still. Today the company is run by Fred’s sons Patrick and Gilbert and has expanded to over three thousand square meters and there are four copper stills and over 1000 cask. Whisky production began later in 1998. Until recently all of their grain was milled in seven traditional windmills. Successful growth and an increase in production means this is no longer the case, although the grain milled by windmills is still a large component of their production. This way of milling causes almost no increase in the temperature of the grain and thus helps preserve the wonderful aromas. No artificial fragrances, colours and flavours are used.

Flying Dutchman Rum is the first rum to be made in The Netherlands and is distilled from fermented pure cane molasses. Fermentation takes place using special yeast at low temperatures and in small batches which helps to contribute fruity characteristics. The fermentation process can take at least 2 weeks, this is much longer than usual but is essential in allowing delicate flavours to form. The rum is triple distilled in small copper, handmade pot stills. After fermentation and distillation the rum is matured in a combination of Pedro Ximénez and oloroso sherry casks, as well as virgin American-oak barrels.
