Review by Jakob
In a direct comparison of the three Zuidam FRC releases, the most complex and at the same time most mature profile. For me, therefore, also with the nose in front in the overall evaluation, because the aromatic complexity is most pronounced for me here.
Review by Alex Kunath
Recht durchschnittlich...
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
As expected, the weakest of the three current windmills, for me without recognition value. Maybe what for a high-quality cocktail? In the nose soft wood (here he gets 76 points from me). On the palate, the rum is rather tart for my liking, I notice nothing of the sweetness of any PX cask (68 points).
Review by Felix Reiber
In der Nase ist er recht fruchtig und Sherry-betont. Würzig und Holzig wird er dann am Gaumen und der Sherry ist nicht mehr so präsent. Man könnte in einer Blindverkostung auf ein Cognac-finish tippen. Verglichen mit dem äußerst genialen 8yr ist dieser sehr viel würziger mit starken pfeffrigen Akzenten, was nicht zuletzt an dem weniger gut eingebundenen Alkohol liegt. Der Abgang ist kurz bis mittellang und bietet neben fruchtigem Sherry und Holz noch etwas Lakritze.
Review by Johannes
Für nur 4 Jahre Reifung erstaunlich viel Holzeinfluss. Alkohol nicht wirklich gut eingebunden.
Review by Frank
Die dritte Windmühle, höchster ABV, aber mit 4 Jahren auch der jüngste und dann wohl reflexartig in ein Pedro Fass gefüllt, damit schon möglichst viele Aromen zu finden sind ?! Nase: schon deutlicher Sherry-Einfluss, rauchig-süß mit getrockneter Aprikose und Rosine, dazu dezent Rotwein. Holzig-würzig mit viel Vanille. Viel mehr kommt das aber auch nicht. Relativ beliebig. 6,9 Gaumen: der Süß-Sherry dominiert hier eindeutig. Wieder rauchig-süß, leicht Lakritze und Vanille, auch etwas pfeffrig zu Beginn. Hinten wird er noch etwas speckig. Wieder die typische getrocknete Aprikose. Wer Sherry mag, kommt hier auf seine Kosten. Ich brauche das nicht. 6,7 Gefällt mir von den dreien am wenigsten.
