Isfjord Premium Arctic Caribbean Rum 70 cl 44%

The rum is Caribbean, but the bottle and name evoke Arctic ice – a contrast the Danish house Isfjord has deliberately cultivated.

Expert description

Isfjord Premium Arctic Caribbean Rum is a Rum distilled on Saint Croix in the Caribbean and bottled at 44%.

Saint Croix is a former Danish colony with a long historical connection to rum production, and it is exactly this heritage the Danish house Isfjord draws on in this release. Although the name and label signal Arctic cold, the rum itself is entirely Caribbean in origin, creating an immediate contrast between its Nordic framing and its tropical content.
