Genuine impressions, honest feedback – from people who take taste seriously. Because in the end, it doesn’t matter what a label promises – but what happens in the glass.

Top rating from experts: Old Dragon in the absolute premium league

With an outstanding rating of 4.6 out of 5 points, the Old Dragon has made a massive statement in the independent tasting by the Rumfreunde.

Anyone who takes a look at the renowned experts’ portal will quickly realize: a 4.6 rating is an exclusive club. Usually, only strictly limited bottlings and significantly more expensive premium rums move in these regions. Our hand-picked Caribbean blend impressively proves that genuine curation, the perfect balance of fruit and spice, and completely natural aromas can effortlessly keep up with the most expensive heavyweights in the spirits scene. An honest masterpiece that performs way above its price class in terms of quality.

Some of the reviews that have recently arrived

The Old Dragon Spiced Rum surprises with a successful balance of fruit and spice. You can clearly taste and smell the natural banana distillate! Very rounded, pleasant to drink, and definitely a rum that stands out from classic spiced rums. Absolutely recommended!

Very delicious and something for everyone who likes banana. Every drop is worth every cent.

Aaaamazing. I'm actually a whiskey drinker and have tried several types of rum. But Old Dragon convinced me from the first attempt to give rum another try. I don't know if another rum can manage to convince me. If not, I have Old Dragon

Ink under the skin, fire in the glass

Sometimes it’s the small moments that show you are on the right path. For me, one of those moments was the mention of Old Dragon Rum in the new YouTube Short by Rumperium.

For someone who comes from the tattoo world and has thrown himself into the world of spirits with heart and soul, this means a lot. Rumperium stands for honest feedback and passion for rum – and when he includes Old Dragon in his vlog, it is a real highlight.

Amaaaazing. I am actually a whiskey drinker and have tried several types of rum. But Old Dragon convinced me from the first try to give rum another chance. I don't know if any other rum could convince me. If not, I'll stick with Old Dragon.
