Drankenshopper is not a bottle, but a card game built around the atmosphere of a drinks auction. Players bid, negotiate, trade and bluff in the hope of taking home the most impressive collections, while opponents may be quietly working on plans of their own.
One of its strengths is the way the game can be scaled to the group. In the simplest version, you play only with the bottle and money cards, turning it into an easy-going buying and trading game with minimal rules. For a fuller game, the role and chance cards add extra tension and strategy, especially with 4 to 5 players.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this sits nicely alongside the drinks themselves: a game for adults who enjoy both tabletop play and the world of spirits. The 40 playing cards combine clear (…)7 Sins Rum Greed 50cl

7 Sins Rum Greed 50cl
In stock
7 Sins Rum Greed is a Belgian rum with a style that immediately feels a little different. It is made from molasses and sugar cane juice, and distilled using both pot still and column distillation. That combination gives it a broader identity than a rum built around one single production approach.
The Bourbon Cask reference gives the rum a familiar maturation setting, though the supplied flavour profile does not place wood at the centre. Fruit and spice are the main accents here, supported by a lighter sweetness. At Drankenshop Broekmans, this 50 cl bottle sits nicely among rums chosen for drinkers who enjoy discovering a less obvious Belgian take on the category.
With the last bottles now indicated, 7 Sins Rum Greed has become a little more limited in (…)Dada Chapel Aged Brhum

Dada Chapel Aged Brhum

Dada Chapel Aged Brhum is a Belgian rum, and that origin immediately gives it a different angle. Rather than coming from one of the more familiar rum regions, this bottle places Belgium at the centre of the story, with an alcoholic strength of 42%.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see this as a rum for drinkers who enjoy stepping outside the usual frame of reference. The name Aged Brhum points to an aged style, although the available information does not specify maturation details or a flavour direction. That keeps the introduction straightforward: a Belgian rum from Dada Chapel, worth approaching with an open glass and a bit of curiosity.

Dada Chapel Brhum

Dada Chapel Brhum is a Belgian rum from Dada Chapel. That Belgian origin already gives it a distinct place in a category often associated with more traditional rum-producing regions, and it puts the focus on the identity of the Dada Chapel brand itself.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of bottle that naturally draws attention from customers looking beyond the most familiar rum choices. Bottled at 40% alcohol, it is clearly positioned as a rum, while the supplied information does not provide further details on its flavour style or production background.

Dada Chapel Brhum Barrel Selection 68°
In stock
Dada Chapel Brhum Barrel Selection 68° is a Belgian take on rum, made from sugar beet rather than presented as a conventional rum style. That Belgian starting point gives the bottle its own identity before the maturation even comes into play.
This selection is drawn from Dada Chapel's Aged Brhum and was carefully chosen by the master distiller. A 2-year maturation in American virgin oak brings a clear wood influence, adding depth while keeping the spirit's Belgian character at the centre.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of bottle we would point out to someone curious about rum but open to a more distinctive Belgian interpretation.
On the palate, the wood notes are clearly present, supported by a full-bodied feel and a pleasant (…)-

Dada Chapel Brhum Small Batch (1) For The Nectar
In stock
Dada Chapel Brhum Small Batch (1) For The Nectar is a Belgian rum where the limited nature of the release is part of its appeal. It is bottled as a single cask at 50% alcohol, giving it the feel of a clearly defined cask selection rather than a broad, ongoing release.
The Small Batch (1) For The Nectar wording gives this bottling its own specific identity. At Drankenshop Broekmans, releases like this stand out because they bring together origin, limited availability and bottling strength in a very direct way: the focus is on one individual cask and the character captured from it.
With only the last bottles remaining, this is best understood as a finite Belgian rum release. It is a bottle for those who enjoy discovering a particular one-off selection, built (…)Dada Chapel Brhum Small Batch (2) For The Nectar

Dada Chapel Brhum Small Batch (2) For The Nectar
In stock
Dada Chapel Brhum Small Batch (2) For The Nectar is a Belgian rum release with a distinctly small-scale feel. The key details all point in the same direction: Small Batch, single cask and a bottling made for The Nectar. Rather than a broad standard expression, this is a focused selection from one individual cask.
At 60.2% alcohol, it is clearly a rum with presence. This is the kind of bottle to approach slowly and with attention, especially for drinkers who appreciate concentrated, high-strength releases. At Drankenshop Broekmans, we like this style of rum because it shows a more personal side of the category, where the identity of a single cask becomes central.
The note that these are the last bottles adds to the limited nature of the release. Once a single (…)Rhum Ardent Bio

Rhum Ardent Bio
In stock
Rhum Ardent Bio is a Belgian rum made from sugar cane juice, giving it a distinct position among more familiar rum styles. At 40% alcohol, it presents itself with a clear, fruit-led personality rather than relying on an age statement to tell its story.
Its multicolumn distillation and Rivesalt Finish shape the character without making the rum feel heavy. Fruit is the main thread, with lighter notes of wood, spice, floral nuance and sweetness around it. For Drankenshop Broekmans, the appeal lies in that combination: Belgian origin, sugar cane juice and a finishing style that gives the rum its own direction.
The flavour profile is led by fruit, with gentler accents of floral character, light wood, soft spice and a modest sweetness surrounding it.

Rhum Ardent Bio 50cl is a Belgian rum with a clear connection to sugar cane juice, giving it a different angle from heavier rum styles. Its profile is led by fruit, with gentler floral, spicy, woody and lightly sweet elements supporting the whole.

Ardent Rhum Vermeil stands out first of all through its Belgian origin. Rum is often linked with faraway places, yet this bottle brings the category closer to home, with a clear identity built around Ardent and the name Rhum Vermeil.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, we like spirits that give customers a slightly different angle on a familiar category. At 40% alcohol, this remains firmly within the recognisable world of rum, while its Belgian background gives it the point of distinction.
For anyone specifically looking to explore Belgian rum, Rhum Vermeil is best understood as a straightforward expression of origin and brand identity: Ardent, Belgium, rum, and a clean 40% presentation.

Rhum Vermeil 50cl

Ardent Rhum Vermeil is a Belgian molasses-based rum, bottled at 40% in a 50 cl format. It carries no age statement, so the focus is less on maturation claims and more on the character of the rum itself.
Its multi-column distilling style points to a contemporary approach, with the available flavour profile showing light floral, spicy, fruity and sweet touches. Wood is not a defining element here, so the rum presents itself without a pronounced oak-driven direction.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of bottle we would place in front of someone curious about Belgian rum and looking for a lighter, more direct expression rather than a heavily wood-led style. With only the last bottles remaining, Ardent Rhum Vermeil has become a rum to discover sooner (…)Rhumantic La Fraise Limited Edition

On request only
Rhumantic La Fraise Limited Edition is a Belgian rum release with a very clear direction in its name: strawberry is at the heart of the idea. At 30% alcohol, it sits in a more fruit-led, approachable style rather than presenting itself as a full-strength traditional rum.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, this bottle stands out as a Belgian take on rum with a very recognisable mango theme. It is the kind of release that speaks to drinkers who enjoy exploring rum beyond the more traditional styles.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to most frequently asked questions about rum
What is rum?
Rum is a liquor made from sugar cane. It can be made via molasses (the syrupy by-product of sugar production) or via fresh sugarcane juice. After fermentation and distillation, you have the base, which is then often aged in wooden barrels. As simple as it sounds, the result is versatile: from light and fresh to deep and complex.
Europe has imposed rules and distinguishes between "rum" and "spirit drink". A drink can only be called rum if it:
-
is made from sugar cane products
-
is fermented and distilled
-
has a maximum alcohol content of 96% at distillation
-
contains at least 37.5% alcohol at bottling
-
contains no flavourings or large quantities of sugar
If producers do use extra flavourings, lots of sugar or other additives, it legally becomes "spirit drink" or "spirituose" instead of rum.
What is the difference between rum and spirit drink?
In Europe, this difference has come about mainly because of stricter and clearer rules around protected drink categories. "Rum" is not a non-committal marketing term in the EU, but a legally defined category. If a product does not exactly meet that definition, it can no longer officially be called rum and must be sold as a "spirit drink", for example.
The main rules are in the European geographical indications and spirit legislation, now under Regulation (EU) 2019/787.
The heart of the problem usually lies in one of these points:
- Added flavourings
Real rum may not simply be flavoured with, say, vanilla, chocolate or other distinct flavourings if it is still to be called "rum". Once the additives fall outside the permissible limits, it legally becomes a "spirit drink". - Added sugar or sweeteners
There are limits on how much sugar or sweetening can be added without losing the "rum" category. Some producers used to add relatively large amounts of sugar to make the drink softer or fuller. Stricter controls required those products to be relabelled. - Alcohol from other raw materials
Rum must come from sugar cane products such as molasses or sugar cane juice. If neutral alcohol of other origin is added (e.g. grain alcohol), the product falls outside the definition. - Production method or strength
Minimum alcohol percentages and production methods are also set by law.
Especially in recent years, enforcement has become stricter. As a result, you see that some brands that were sold as rum for years suddenly got "spirit drink", "spiced spirit drink" or "rum-based spirit drink" on the label.
A well-known example are certain "spiced rums". Many consumers still call them rum, but legally some of them cannot be called rum in Europe because they are too strongly flavoured or sweetened.
That does not necessarily mean the quality is worse - just that the product no longer fits within the strict EU definition of rum. Some enthusiasts actually find these stricter rules positive, as it makes it clearer what is pure rum and what is a flavoured variety.
Which rum is tasty?
The question "which rum is good?" seems simple, but the answer depends entirely on personal taste. Instead of immediately reaching for specific bottles, it makes more sense to first consider what you would like to drink. Do you like soft, sweet flavours like vanilla, caramel and honey, or do you rather prefer fresh and light notes like citrus and coconut? Maybe you just go for something more powerful with wood, spices and cocoa, or even a more pronounced, funky style with ripe fruit and an almost wild intensity. After all, rum is one of the most diverse spirits, and "tasty" means something different to everyone.
In addition, the moment also plays a role. A light, fresh rum comes into its own in cocktails and on hot days, while a richer, fuller rum is better suited to drinking on its own or as a digestif. There are also styles that sit somewhere in between: accessible enough for mixed drinks, but with enough character to appreciate solo as well.
By approaching the question in this way, you will not only discover what you yourself find a tasty rum, but you will also eventually begin to better understand why that rum suits you.
What types of rum are there?
The best-known subdivisions are white, gold and dark. White rum is bright, fresh and perfect for cocktails like mojito or daiquiri. Golden rum has a bit more body thanks to a short maturation. Dark rum matures longer and develops rich, spicy notes that you can safely drink pure. And then there is spiced rum, where spices like vanilla or cinnamon give it an extra sweet twist.
Broadly speaking, you can distinguish the following styles:
- White rum: clear and light in flavour
- Gold rum: golden, richer flavour than white rum with notes of caramel and vanilla
- Dark rum: dark, deep in colour, with rich and complex flavours such as molasses, chocolate and spices
- Spiced rum: flavoured with spices such as cinnamon, cloves and vanilla
- Overproof rum: high alcohol content, often above 50%
- Flavored rum: Added flavours such as coconut, pineapple or mango
What is English-style rum?
This rum is known for its full, rich and complex flavours. The English-style rum often has notes of molasses, caramel, fruit and spices.
This style rum is made from molasses and is often distilled in pot stills, resulting in a robust flavour profile. According to American Chemical Society, rums from pot stills contain more esters and higher alcohols, which contribute to the complex flavour.
Countries where the specific style of rum is traditionally produced include Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana and Trinidad. Well-known brands of English-style rums include Appleton Estate, Mount Gay and El Dorado.
What is Spanish-style rum?
Spanish-style rum ("Ron") is lighter and sweeter, with a smooth and refined taste. These rums often have notes of vanilla, caramel and tropical fruit.
It is made from molasses and often distilled in column stills, resulting in a lighter, purer rum. Column stills allow for more efficient distillation, giving the rum a more consistent character. Furthermore, these rums are often aged in a so-called Solera system.
Countries where the specific style of rum is traditionally produced: Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Venezuela, brands like Bacardi, Ron Zacapa and Havana Club probably sound familiar.
What is Rhum Agricole (French style)?
French-style rum has an earthy, grassy and sometimes floral flavour. It is often complex and can range from light and fresh to rich and spicy. It is a real "love it or hate it" type of rum: some swear by it and others revile it.
This rum is made from freshly squeezed sugarcane juice and usually distilled in pot stills. Production often follows strict standards, such as the AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) in Martinique, ensuring consistent and high-quality production.
Countries where this particular style of rum is traditionally produced: Martinique, Guadeloupe and Haiti. Well-known brands include Rhum Clément, Rhum JM and Barbancourt.
What do VS, VSOP and XO mean?
Unlike with cognac, these designations are not regulated within rum. These designations in rums therefore often say more about quality or style, but do not necessarily refer to an explicit (minimum) age of the spirit in the bottle.
How strong is rum?
Most rums are around 37.5% to 40% alcohol. But beware: there are also so-called overproof rums that easily exceed 60%. These will immediately spice up your cocktail - or provide a solid punch when drunk straight.
What is the difference between rum, cachaça and rhum agricole?
It's all in the base. Rum is usually made from molasses, while cachaça (from Brazil) and rhum agricole (from the French Caribbean) always come from fresh sugarcane juice. The result? Agricole and cachaça often have a somewhat grassy, spicy touch, while rum tends to be rounder and softer.
What rum do you use for cocktails?
For fresh mixed drinks such as a mojito or daiquiri, it is best to choose a light white rum. Tiki cocktails or a Dark 'n Stormy, on the other hand, get more depth from a dark or spicy rum. In short: your choice of rum makes all the difference in your glass.
Which rums can you drink pure?
Aged rums from Barbados, Jamaica or the Dominican Republic, for example, are often smooth, complex and ideal to enjoy pure. They can easily compete with a good whisky or cognac in terms of depth.
How does rum taste compared to whisky or brandy?
Rum tends to be sweeter and rounder thanks to the sugar cane. Whisky can be malty, spicy or smoky, while brandy is more likely to have fruity, wine-like notes. A matter of taste, but rum often has a more tropical character.
What is the maturation process for rum?
Rum usually matures in ex-bourbon barrels. Due to the warm climate in the Caribbean, this is faster than for whisky in Scotland. As a result, an 8-year-old rum can already taste surprisingly intense.
What is the difference between pot still rum and column still rum?
- Pot still-rum is rich, powerful and complex because it is distilled in smaller batches.
- Column still-rum is lighter and cleaner, ideal for blending.
Many brands combine both styles to get a balanced profile.
What does "solera" or "solera system rum" mean on a rum bottle?
Solera System rum refers to a maturation method where young and old rums flow together. In a Solera System, barrels of different ages are stacked on top of each other, with the oldest rum sitting at the bottom. Bottles are filled from these lower barrels, and then the barrel is replenished with rum from the row above, and so on. The result is a blend of quite a few different ages that results in a flavourful, complex final product that is still consistent in quality, style and recognisability. Because the oldest barrels at the bottom are always diluted with younger rums, the final product in a properly functioning Solera system, after decades of production, basically still contains traces of the very first, oldest rum the process ever started with.
The year number on the bottle then often refers to the oldest rum in the blend, not the average age.
Is rum always made from sugar cane?
Yes, that is a must. Whether it is molasses or sugarcane juice, rum must always come from sugarcane. Other sugars (beet, palm, etc.) are officially outside the definition.
The base for a rum can usually be reduced to one of the following groups:
- Molasses (molasses, syrup): Molasses is fermented and distilled, after which the rum can be aged in barrels. Molasses is a by-product of sugar production and contains many sugars that are converted into alcohol and complex flavourings during fermentation.
- Suger Cane Juice : This rum is known for its natural, unadulterated taste of sugar cane. In this rum, the juice is directly fermented and then distilled.
- Spiced rum: Base rum to which spices and sometimes additional flavours are added during or after the distillation process.
- Sugar Cane Syrup: Sugar cane syrup is fermented and distilled. The use of sugar cane syrup gives the rum a more concentrated and pure sugar cane flavour.
- Sugar Cane Honey: This substance, also known as "miel de caña" in Spanish, is a thick, syrupy liquid obtained by boiling the juice of sugar cane until it thickens, but before it crystallises into sugar. This method is less common and results in a rum with a unique, rich flavour.
- Arranged rum: Base rum is mixed with various flavourings and left to macerate for some time. This gives the rum a distinct and often sweet profile.
What is molasses?
Molasses is a syrupy by-product of sugar refining. It is created when sugar cane or sugar beet is processed to produce sugar.
What is the difference between white and dark rum?
The difference between white and dark rums is mainly in the production methods and ageing times, resulting in different flavours, colours and uses. White rum is clear and translucent, has a mild and light flavour with subtle notes, and is often aged for a shorter time than dark rum, usually in stainless steel tanks or neutral barrels to preserve its colour. This rum type is popular in cocktails such as mojitos and daiquiris, where a subtle rum flavour is desired without affecting the colour of the drink.
Dark rum, on the other hand, is dark brown to almost black in colour, with a rich and full-bodied flavour that contains complex notes of caramel, vanilla and sometimes spices. This rum is aged longer in oak barrels, which contributes to its dark colour and rich flavour. Sometimes caramel is also added for extra colour and flavour. Dark rum is often used in cocktails where a stronger rum flavour is desired, such as in a rum old fashioned, or drunk pure as a sipping rum.
What is the history of rum?
Rum was first produced in the Caribbean in the 17th century, with the first documented production in Barbados around 1650. Production quickly spread to North America, especially to the colonies in New England, where rum became an important trade product.
Rum played a crucial role in the transatlantic slave trade, also known as the Triangular Trade. Slaves from Africa were brought to the Caribbean to work on sugar cane plantations, while sugar and rum were shipped to Europe and North America. Locals and workers often had access to the rum produced locally, making it a popular drink among the lower social classes. This gave rum a negative connotation and it was seen as the drink for the poor. Today, this image has completely changed is rum is a versatile and popular drink.
Why is rum so strongly associated with pirates?
In the 17th and 18th centuries, rum was the means of payment and exchange in the Caribbean. Sailors often received a ration of rum as part of their wages. No wonder pirates and rum have been inextricably linked ever since.
Where can I buy rum?
