Skotlander Rum

Long before whisky became Scotland's calling card, it was actually Western European countries that dominated the tradition-rich rum trade. Skotlander Spirits has picked up that thread again, this time from Danish soil, creating a rum that deliberately draws lines back to 1600s Caribbean seafaring. It's Caribbean craft interpreted through the lens of a Danish distillery.

  • Bottle of Great Dane 15 Year Skotlander Danish rum
    Item no.: 059763-6167849

    Fifteen years in ex-bourbon casks has given this Danish rum a depth rarely found outside the Caribbean - peach, pineapple and coconut in a glass brewed in an old slaughterhouse in Jammerbugten.

    Expert description

    Great Dane 15 Year is a Dark Sweet Rum from Skotlander, matured in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 42%.

    The Great Dane series is Skotlander's flagship, and the 15-year release represents the longest maturation in the range. The rum has been allowed to mature for fifteen years in ex-bourbon casks, where time has created a harmonious balance of sweetness, oak and tropical fruit. The lightly charred, sweet bourbon barrels give the rum its characteristic depth and a long, warm finish.

    Behind Great Dane is Skotlander Spirits, a family-run company that since 2013 has produced award-winning rum, gin and liqueur in an old slaughterhouse in Pandrup in Jammerbugten. Great Dane has won several international awards and has been named one of the world's best rums.

  • Skotlander Lab Edition Jamaica High Ester White Rum bottle
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278394

    From Skotlander in northern Jutland comes a white rum that pushes Jamaican ester intensity to the extreme, bottled with no reduction at all in just 400 bottles.

    Expert Description

    Skotlander Lab Edition Jamaica High Ester White Rum is a Jamaica Rum, distilled in 2017 from Monymusk and New Yarmouth and matured about 3 years in steel tanks, bottled at natural strength of 75.2%.

    The Rum Lab range is Skotlander's experimental branch, where the northern Jutland distillery explores how far rum's flavour spectrum can be stretched. This release is a high ester rum with an ester count of 750 grams per hlpa, a level that places it among the most powerful, intense rums distilled in Jamaica. Instead of ageing the rum in wood, it was matured in steel tanks at fluctuating temperatures between 5 and 22 degrees, preserving the raw, unfiltered distillate character.

    With only 400 bottles of this first release in the series, it's a rarity even for Danish rum enthusiasts.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Tropical stone fruit, ripe banana and a hint of diesel.

    Palate

    Rich and oily with banana and cocoa beans.

    Finish

    Intense and lingering, with a pronounced ester-rich funk that fades slowly.
