When people think of premium spiced rum, images of exotic worlds, lush nature, and the humid climate of the Caribbean immediately come to mind. Now, you can experience this very world right in the heart of Dinkelsbühl. We are incredibly proud of our latest partnership: Old Dragon Rum is moving into the breathtaking Papilonia butterfly house.
Two local highlights merge into a unique experience that bridges the gap between Caribbean nature and fine craft spirit making.

Pure Caribbean feeling: Where exotic butterflies meet premium spiced rum
The Papilonia in Dinkelsbühl is not just a destination – it is a tropical paradise. Amidst free-flying, colorful butterflies from all over the world, exotic plants, and a climate that recalls the equator, a very special magic unfolds.
This is precisely where the connection to our Old Dragon Rum comes full circle. The base of our blend consists of first-class distillates from Jamaica and Venezuela – regions where not only the sugar cane for our molasses grows, but where many of these magnificent butterflies have their natural origin. There is arguably no more authentic place in the region to feel the true Caribbean flair than at Papilonia.
Exclusive events: Experience pleasure and nature with all your senses
Our partnership goes far beyond merely providing bottles. Together with the Papilonia team, we are creating experiences that engage all the senses.
Regular special activities and events take place in the butterfly house, featuring our Old Dragon Premium Spiced Rum as the centerpiece. Imagine: a relaxing walk through tropical warmth, surrounded by hundreds of exotic butterflies, rounded off with a professional rum tasting. The fruity ester notes of the rum and the fine spices harmonize perfectly with the scent of tropical blossoms – an experience you won’t soon forget.
Your piece of the tropics for at home: Old Dragon at Papilonia
Whether you are visiting the beautiful city of Dinkelsbühl as a tourist or looking for a short break from everyday life as a local – Papilonia is the perfect place for it. And the best part: You can now take the tropics home with you, too.
Our Old Dragon Premium Rum is now a permanent fixture in the butterfly house’s range. Take the opportunity during your next visit to not only admire the fascinating wildlife but also to purchase a bottle of our hand-selected blend as an exclusive souvenir or gift.
Immerse yourself in the tropics of Dinkelsbühl. We look forward to your visit to Papilonia – here’s to nature, passion, and the perfect drop!
