The Dutch distillery Zuidam purchases sugar cane molasses in the Caribbean and has been distilling a Rum in the Netherlands since 2011. After an exceptionally long fermentation period of 2 weeks, with yeast from the Caribbean, triple distillation takes place in copper pot stills. The Rum matures for over 3 years on American new barrels of 200 litres. The rum is very soft and beautifully dark in colour. This is the first Rum really made in the Netherlands.
