The name isn't accidental: like a skunk, this rum is intense, unmistakable and hard to ignore, made in Denmark with Jamaican inspiration.

Expert Description

The Skunk Rum is a Danish Rum, distilled from organic molasses from Paraguay at A Clean Spirit after long fermentation inspired by the Jamaican pot still tradition, unaged and bottled at 69.3%.

A Clean Spirit, founded by Bintu Singh in 2020, builds its entire range around sustainability: the organic molasses is Fair Trade certified, the yeast is organic, and the bottles are made from recycled glass with a glue-free cork. The long fermentation process, inspired by Jamaican tradition, gives the rum an unusual power and aromatic intensity, even though it's not cask aged.

The result is a powerful, unrefined rum with pronounced fruit and an unmistakable ester character.
