There's something about the smell of tar, salt and old timber that sets the mind drifting. That's the air at the ferry landing in Mellerup, where Ragna crosses Randers Fjord day after day — and that's how Fjord Rum tastes.
Expert description
Fjord Rum 8 Year is a Danish Molasses Rum, distilled in 2018 and bottled eight years later in 2026 at Brænderiet Enghaven, at a strength of 48%.
The rum is the third bottle in the Fjord series, an exclusive trio created for Whisky.dk as a tribute to the small ferry Ragna and the route between Mellerup and Voer on the north side of Randers Fjord. Enghaven was founded in 2007 by Esben Moestrup, Erik Moestrup and Mikkel Nordkvist on the family farm, which the Moestrup family has run since 1881, and the range has since grown from fruit brandy to also include rum, gin, vodka and whisky. Fjord Rum is built on molasses and was given eight years to find its depth and warmth. 19 bottles were filled from this batch.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose is warm and dark, with notes of dark brown sugar, dried figs and a hint of salty sea air.
Palate
The palate is full and sweet, with caramel, dark chocolate and spice, balanced by a lightly salted edge.
Finish
The finish is long and warm, with a lingering sweetness reminiscent of molasses and dark cane sugar.

Did You Know?
Enghaven sits on a farm the Moestrup family has owned since 1881, yet the distillery itself was only founded in 2007 — starting with fruit brandy before adding rum, gin, vodka and whisky. Fjord Rum is therefore just as much a story about a farm in transformation as it is a story about the fjord outside.
