Sipped neat, this Dutch pot-still rum reads like a well-made Barbadian: toasted oak, vanilla, coconut and a faint glue note, with licorice and dried fruit underneath. The alcohol is well tucked in at 52.8%. Several tasters kept circling back to the same thing — it's tidy and pleasant but a bit thin on depth, "in the range of core OB Foursquare" as one put it.

How does Zuidam FRC Dutch Windmill Collection (De Gekroonde Poelenburg) taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Clean oak-and-coconut sipper, low on depth Most find it clean, well-integrated and easy to sip, with nice cask notes and coconut. The recurring gripe: it lacks a real hook and stays a touch shallow.

Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Most helpful positive review
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.
Review by Johannes
Goes in the direction of Foursquare with nice barrel notes and some coconut.
Review by Frank
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
Review by Jakob
A bit more austere than the sister release with 52.2%. Where toffee was still allowed to play a big role there, here there is a bit more wood influence. Still very pleasant and again well-integrated alcohol, but without a real exclamation mark.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
Somehow this manages to be completely uncompelling. Don't get me wrong, clearly people know how to distillate here. But in the end it falls too short on havijgbmuchbof a character for me to really praise it. It is in the range of core OB Foursquare
