A premium spiced rum with an international heart and a Franconian soul.

In the middle of Dinkelsbühl, one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Germany, a spirit is created that is much more than just rum. Old Dragon Rum is a handcrafted original – developed in a tattoo studio, refined with tropical aromas and marketed from the heart of Middle Franconia.

While its ingredients embark on a long journey from the Caribbean – including Jamaica and Venezuela – its origin story is inextricably linked to Dinkelsbühl. This is where the brand was born, where every label is designed, every bottle is sealed with passion, and every idea is brought out into the world.


🏠 Regionality meets cosmopolitanism

Although the rum’s base matures in distant lands, the creative center, the heart, and the signature of this rum lie in Dinkelsbühl – a town that has always embodied craftsmanship, character, and cultural diversity.

The founder and artist Dimi Zaharcenko, known from his tattoo studio Old Dragon Ink (formerly 2Brothers Ink), created Old Dragon Rum as a true passion project. No industrial goods, no anonymous distribution – but rather a regionally managed micro-business that carries the DNA of Dinkelsbühl with every sip. You can find more about the founder and his history here.
