Oldman Spirits Windmill Collection Oranjemolen 4yo 53.4% 700ml is a meticulously crafted rum bottled by Flensburg Rum Company, featuring the iconic Oranjemolen windmill on its label, symbolizing its historical significance in the Dutch liberation during WWII. This exemplary rum is distilled by the renowned Zuidam Distillers, famed for their Genever and Millstone Whisky. This particular expression is a pure pot still, single cask bottling at cask strength, matured in a Pedro Ximénez Sherry cask, which imparts a unique and complex flavor profile. The aroma is a rich tapestry of sherry-influenced notes, including grapes, raisins, and a touch of red wine, combined with smoky sweetness, dried apricots, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, the experience is dominated by spicy and smoky flavors with a distinct presence of sweet sherry, licorice, bacon, and peppery vanilla.

It is part of the Windmill Collection series, known for showcasing the nuanced and diverse offerings of Zuidam Distillery. While some reviewers find it to be average compared to its older counterparts, others appreciate its aromatic complexity and rich profile, making it an intriguing choice for both rum aficionados and cocktail enthusiasts.
