Malecon 1993 Esplendida

In stock

Malecon 1993 Esplendida is a rum where the year on the label matters. Within Malecon's Selección Espléndida range, 1993 refers to the vintage, setting this release apart from the other dated editions in the series. It is very much a rum to approach through the lens of time, maturation and vintage character.

The style follows the Spanish and Cuban rum tradition, based on molasses, multicolumn distillation and long ageing in American oak bourbon barrels. Product-specific information states a minimum maturation of 30 years. Bottled at 40%, it is less about sheer strength and more about the mature flavours that come from extended cask ageing.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see Malecon 1993 Esplendida primarily as a sipping rum. It is best given time (…)

Dictador 79 Aurum Incl. Box

In stock

Dictador 79 Aurum is an aged Colombian rum from Cartagena de Indias on Colombia's Caribbean coast. Within Dictador's range it sits firmly in the more mature, contemplative style, made from virgin sugar cane honey, a concentrated sugar cane juice, rather than molasses.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, Aurum stands out for the way it brings together maturity and a sipping-focused character. The producer describes it as a blend with a stated maturation of 25 to 35 years, with bourbon barrel influence. That gives context to its dry, rich profile built around coffee, honey, vanilla, oak and spice.

This is a rum to pour neat and take slowly. The official serving context also mentions pairings with dark chocolate and cigars, which suits its calm, after-dinner style far (…)

Merser Reserve Rum

In stock

Merser Reserve Rum is a blend built around carefully selected rums, mainly from the Dominican Republic. Rather than relying on an age statement, it presents itself through its style: smooth, rounded and shaped by maturation in oak casks.

The appeal lies in the way the fruit and wood sit together. The blend includes rum from pot still and column distillation, giving it a broader feel while keeping the mouthfeel soft and approachable.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see Merser Reserve Rum as the kind of bottle that works well neat or over ice. Its gentle sweetness, oak influence and light spice make it a calm, enjoyable rum without pushing into an overly heavy style.

The aroma is warm, with vanilla toffee and dried fruit, lifted by subtle spice and (…)

Zafra 30y

Last one in stock!

Zafra 30y is a Panamanian molasses rum with age and limited availability at the heart of its appeal. As part of the Master Series, this 30-year-old release stands apart from the better-known younger Zafra expressions, with a numbered run stated at 6,720 bottles.

It is traditionally column distilled and aged in Panama in bourbon barrels. The result is positioned very much as a sipping rum: mature, composed and driven by wood influence, dark fruit, vanilla and spice rather than overt sweetness or showiness.

Product information around this release names Francisco Don Pancho Fernández as the master blender selecting the bourbon barrels. At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see Zafra 30y as a particularly interesting choice for drinkers looking for long-aged (…)

Diplomatico Vintage 2007

On request only

Diplomatico Vintage 2007 places a specific year at the heart of this Venezuelan molasses rum. Distilled in a traditional column style and finished in sherry casks, it brings together the character of the rum itself with an extra layer of cask influence.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, this bottle stands out because it is more than a general expression of the brand. The 2007 vintage, the Venezuelan origin and the sherry finish all point towards a rum with a defined identity, where fruit and wood take a clear role without turning the presentation into something overly heavy.

With only the last bottles remaining, Diplomatico Vintage 2007 feels like a release for someone who enjoys tasting a particular dated edition rather than simply choosing a standard style. At 43%, (…)

Trinidad 18y (Cadenhead - Original Collection)

On request only

Cadenhead's Trinidad 18y is a molasses rum from Trinidad, released as part of the Original Collection. Bottled in August 2021 at 46%, it brings together an 18-year age statement, independent bottling and a clear sense of origin.

The key point here is the single cask nature of the release. Drawn from a Bourbon Barrel, it represents one individual cask rather than a broad house blend. At Drankenshop Broekmans, bottles like this are valued because they give rum drinkers a more focused look at a particular maturation and style.

Its traditional column distillation and molasses base place it firmly within Trinidad rum, while the flavour profile points mainly towards fruit and wood, supported by lighter spice, floral and sweet tones. With only the last bottles (…)

Malecon 1983 Esplendida Incl. Box

In stock

Malecon 1983 Esplendida is a Cuban rum made from molasses and distilled in a multicolumn style. That gives the rum a composed, polished feel rather than a heavy or forceful one.

Within the rum selection at Drankenshop Broekmans, this bottle stands out through its 1983 identity and its Bourbon Barrel cask background. The profile is built around fruit and wood, with gentle spice, a restrained sweetness and a light floral accent adding extra detail.

There is no need to dress this rum up with grand claims. Malecon 1983 Esplendida is most interesting for its calm structure, its vintage reference and its classic Cuban character.

The flavour profile centres on fruit and a clear wooden note. Sweetness stays restrained, while gentle spice and a light (…)

Appleton Estate Rare Blend 12y

In stock

Appleton Estate Rare Blend 12y is a Jamaican rum with a clear point of reference: its 12-year age statement. Rather than presenting itself as a vague blend, it gives the drinker a defined sense of maturity and place, with the Rare Blend name positioning it as a more considered expression within Appleton.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of rum we would introduce to someone looking specifically toward Jamaica and wanting a bottle with a little more structure in its presentation. Bottled at 43%, it sits just above the standard 40% strength often seen in rum, giving it a touch more presence on the label as well as at the table.

Brugal Visionaria Edition 2 Incl. Box

Last one in stock!

Brugal Visionaria Edition 2 is a limited Dominican rum built around a distinctly local inspiration: arabica coffee from the Dominican Republic. Also known as Edición 02 Coffee, it is the second release in Brugal's Colección Visionaria, a series of sipping rums in which each edition explores a Dominican ingredient through aromatic cask treatment.

For this release, Maestra Ronera Jassil Villanueva Quintana uses the Aromatic Cask Toasting technique. Virgin French oak casks are toasted with selected Dominican arabica coffee beans, allowing the wood to take on aromatic influence before the rum is shaped by the cask. The rum does not come into direct contact with the coffee beans, so the coffee impression is carried through the wood rather than added as a (…)

Malecon Rare Proof Vintage 2016

Not available for shipping

Malecon Rare Proof Vintage 2016 is a Cuban molasses-based rum made in the Spanish style and distilled entirely in columns. It has the clean, composed feel associated with that approach, but the maturation gives it enough depth to bring wood, fruit and gentle spice clearly into the picture.

Distilled in 2016 and bottled in 2023, it spent at least seven years maturing in re-charred American oak barrels. That cask influence is part of its identity: toasted wood is present and recognisable, yet it does not push aside the fresher citrus and dried fruit notes.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of limited-production vintage rum we like to point out to customers who enjoy character without excessive weight. Bottled at 42.7%, and now down to the last bottles, (…)

New Grove Inception 2004 21y Incl. Box

On request only

New Grove Inception 2004 21y is a mature Mauritian molasses rum with a clear sense of place and craft. Distilled in a traditional column style and bottled at 50%, it combines depth from long ageing with a fruit-driven character that remains lively rather than heavy.

The rum has been ageing since 2004 and was assembled from two carefully selected casks, with 960 bottles released. That gives this Inception a focused identity: a 21-year-old expression shaped by time, wood influence and ripe fruit, rather than a broad everyday bottling.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of rum we like to introduce to customers who appreciate mature molasses rum with structure and personality. Its mix of yellow fruit, dried fruit, elegant wood notes and subtle freshness (…)

Malecon 18y Reserva Imperial Incl. Box

In stock

Malecon 18y Reserva Imperial is a Cuban molasses rum where the age statement sets the tone straight away. Eighteen years gives this rum a sense of maturity, with the focus placed on time, cask influence and development rather than on unnecessary embellishment.

Its multicolumn distillation and bourbon cask maturation point towards a composed style, with fruity and woody elements at the centre of the profile. Gentler hints of spice, sweetness and floral notes sit around that core, giving the rum its shape without making it feel overstated.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, this Malecon sits comfortably among aged rums for customers looking for a Cuban rum with a clear sense of origin and a mature, neatly defined character.

The flavour profile is led by (…)

Lazy Dodo VSOP Tube Incl.

In stock

Lazy Dodo VSOP is a molasses rum from Mauritius with a story that feels closely tied to place and people. It is presented as a tribute to Alain Vallet, an important figure at the Grays distillery, and is distilled in traditional columns in the village of Beau Plan.

The rum brings together the natural aromas of sugar cane and exotic fruit with 6 to 8 years of maturation. French oak, American oak and former peated whisky casks all play a role, giving the spirit warmth, roundness and a subtle smoky dimension alongside its fruit-driven core.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of rum we like to introduce when someone is looking for something with a clear identity: Mauritian sweetness and tropical fruit, shaped by oak and lifted by a gentle peated accent (…)

New Grove Emotion 1969

Temporarily sold out
Expected: 22/11/2026

New Grove Emotion 1969 is an aged rum from Mauritius with a name that tells part of the story. The 1969 reference does not make it a single-vintage rum; it points to the oldest rum selection in the blend. The composition brings together selected vintages from 1969 through to 2008, giving the bottling the feel of a carefully layered rum rather than a straightforward age statement.

It is made from molasses, fermented in closed tanks and distilled in a traditional column style. The Mauritian identity is central here: New Grove is positioned as a fully Mauritian product, from cane-related raw material through to bottling. Tropical maturation in bourbon barrels adds to the mature, concentrated style of the rum.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see New Grove Emotion (…)

Malecon 25y Reserva Imperial Incl. Box

In stock

Malecon 25y Reserva Imperial is very much about maturity and calm depth. Its 25-year age statement places it among the older expressions in the Malecon range, with a style built around long ageing rather than high strength: 40% alcohol, a molasses base and a flavour direction where dried fruit, wood and gentle spice are central.

Distilled in a multicolumn style and matured in bourbon casks, it carries the polished, Spanish-Latin rum character associated with Malecon. The tasting profile points to tobacco, coffee, cacao, caramel, dried apricot, orange and oak, with the wood becoming more pronounced as the rum develops.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, we would place this firmly in the sipping rum category. It is a bottle to pour neat, preferably at room temperature (…)

Riviere Du Mat Opus 5 Incl. Box

In stock

Riviere Du Mat Opus 5 is an aged agricole rum from Réunion, made from fresh sugar cane juice and distilled in a traditional column still. The name Opus 5 is not a five-year age statement; it refers to the blend itself, composed from five old agricole rums.

Those rums have spent at least six years ageing, with an average age of around eight years, in the island's tropical climate. Oak maturation, with bourbon cask given as the cask style, brings a firm woody and spiced dimension while keeping the fruit-driven side of the rum clearly in view.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of bottle we would present as a proper sipping rum rather than a mixing rum. It is best approached neat, at room temperature or slightly warmed, in a tulip or tasting (…)

Chairman's Reserve

In stock

Chairman's Reserve is a rum from St. Lucia, with the island origin forming the clearest part of its identity. The presentation is straightforward: a recognised rum name, a Caribbean provenance and a bottling strength of 40%.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, we would place this bottle in front of someone looking specifically for rum from St. Lucia rather than a rum built around lengthy technical details. Chairman's Reserve has a classic, uncluttered feel, where the brand name and origin do most of the talking.

For customers exploring St. Lucian rum, this is a clear and direct reference point: Chairman's Reserve at 40% alcohol.

No specific tasting notes have been supplied for Chairman's Reserve. Based on the available information, it can only be (…)

Abuelo 12y Two Oaks Incl. Box

In stock

Abuelo 12y Two Oaks is a Panamanian aged rum with a very clear idea behind it. It begins as a 12-year-old Ron Abuelo rum, then receives a second maturation in heavily charred new American oak casks. That extra oak treatment is what gives this bottling its more wood-driven, toasted and gently smoky personality.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see it as a good example of aged rum with a firmer cask influence. The emphasis falls on oak, spice, vanilla, coffee and caramel, giving the rum a rounded yet robust feel while keeping its Panamanian aged-rum identity intact.

It is well suited to sipping neat or over ice, and its cask-led style can also bring extra depth to rum cocktails where roasted wood, coffee and smoky sweetness are welcome. More information about the (…)

Mezan Panama 2008 (Mezan Vintages)

On request only

Mezan Panama 2008 is a molasses-based rum from Panama, bottled as part of the Mezan Vintages range. The vintage is an important part of its identity: distilled in 2008 and aged for 10 years, it presents a clearly defined snapshot of Panamanian rum maturation.

The bourbon cask influence gives it a gentle wooden frame rather than a heavily oaked profile. Together with multicolumn distillation and a bottling strength of 46%, the emphasis sits mainly on fruit, supported by light spice, soft sweetness and a subtle floral edge.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of rum we see drawing interest from customers who enjoy vintage releases with a clear sense of origin and cask influence. With the last bottles now in stock, Mezan Panama 2008 has the feel of a (…)

Flor De Cana Eco Terra Incl. Box

In stock

Flor De Caña Eco Terra is a Nicaraguan molasses-based rum bottled at 40%. It comes without an age statement and presents itself through a fruit-led style, supported by gentler touches of wood, spice, floral nuance and sweetness.

Distilled in a multicolumn style and matured in Bourbon Barrel, it has a clear place in the rum selection at Drankenshop Broekmans. The appeal here lies in the way the fruitier side remains central, while the other elements add shape without taking over.

With only the last bottles remaining, this is a good moment to discover this particular Eco Terra release from Flor De Caña while it is still on our shelves.

Planteray Mauritius 2013 (Planteray Vintage)

On request only

Planteray Mauritius 2013 is built around a two-stage maturation. Distilled from molasses in Mauritius, it first spends 9 years in bourbon casks in Flic & Flac, before moving to Cognac Ferrand casks in Javrezac, France, for a further 2 years.

That journey gives this Planteray Vintage rum its main point of interest: Mauritian rum shaped further by a cognac cask finish. At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of bottle we like to introduce to customers who enjoy seeing how place, time and cask choice can shape the final character of a rum.

At 11 years old and bottled at 46.5%, it has enough presence to carry its fruit, spice and wood influence clearly. With only the last bottles remaining, Mauritius 2013 is also becoming a less common chance to explore (…)

Plantation Guyana 2008 15y Single Cask For Sits (Planteray - Plantation Single Cask)

On request only

Plantation Guyana 2008 15y Single Cask For Sits is a very focused Guyanese rum: one cask, one vintage, and just 300 bottles. Distilled from molasses at Diamond Distillery in 2008 and bottled in 2023, it carries 15 years of maturation in a style that feels deliberately bold and full of detail.

Its maturation path is especially important here. The rum first spent 2 years in tropical Bourbon casks, followed by 13 years in Ferrand casks. That long second stage connects closely with the Cognac Finish character and gives the rum a clear woody and spicy side, while the fruity notes remain an important part of the profile.

The use of both pot still and column distillation adds breadth to the spirit. Rather than a simple sweet rum, this is a robust molasses-based (…)
