Nyborg Distillery Organic Single Sherry Danish Ørbæk Rum 55%

In an old train workshop hall at Nyborg harbour, the Rømer brothers have built something rare in the Danish spirits world: a distillery where rum isn't just a side production, but a discipline of its own, made entirely organic.

Expert Description

Nyborg Distillery Organic Single Sherry Ørbæk is a Danish Rum aged in sherry casks and bottled at 55%.

The rum is distilled and matured by Nyborg Distillery, Denmark's largest craft distillery, housed in a converted train workshop hall by the harbour in Nyborg. Everything the distillery produces is organic, and this rum is no exception. For this Single Sherry edition, sherry casks are used exclusively, giving a deeper, more spiced and wine-like character than the house's bourbon-barrel-aged rum.

Nicolai and Niels Rømer took over the empty buildings in 2011 and opened the modern distillery in 2017, after first experimenting with whisky, gin and rum at their brewery in Ørbæk since 2009, which explains why Ørbæk still appears in the name of several of the house's products.
