Flensburg Rum Company Thailand (Special Bottling for 12th German Rumfest)
Chocolate, coconut and caramel with ripe banana — several tasters called it "banana split to drink" and swore blind it was a Foursquare, not Thailand. The nose is the highlight: oak, vanilla, roasted spice. On the palate it turns hot and rough at 60.3%, with pepper, bitterness and unintegrated alcohol. A drop of water and some air tame it noticeably.
The community says- Beautiful, layered nose
- Chocolate-coconut-banana
- Hot, rough palate

Aggregated from 52 community reviews.
Foursquare-style profile, gorgeous nose, hot palate A genuine surprise most tasters enjoyed, often mistaking it for a Bajan Foursquare. The catch: it's rough and hot on the palate, with the alcohol needing better integration.

Five months ago, after tasting a sample of RX15460, I wrote: "I assume that Thai aged rum is on the rise and that we can still expect a lot from the country." Today I can only confirm this: What a great, mysterious rum, what a positive surprise! Since nothing is known about the rum apart from the country of origin, I can happily and gratefully speculate on the basis of my perception: The rum seems very old to me, more like 24 than 12 years. On the nose and palate, I clearly perceive ripe cherries and heavy, rather sweet red wine - perhaps it has matured for 24 years in a Thai red wine barrel? 😉 As I said, just imaginative speculation. But the fact is: this is a rum that also meets the expectations of advanced rum drinkers. Try it! But beware: there were only 72 bottles ... Unique. Update 2024-10-19: Unusual experiment: mysterious RX16506 vs. renowned RX18937 😳 Why? Because I tasted the RX16506 the day before yesterday with Berlin rum friends and we agreed that the rum could have been a Foursquare blind. So I thought I'd compare it with a real Foursquare 😉. Well, and what can I say: The Thai one is excellent! It's even more present on the nose than the Foursquare. On the palate, it really comes down to the form of the day or personal preference: the Thailänder is strong and spicy with lots of chocolate, while the Absolutio impresses with its smoothness and fine port influence. For today I would say: a draw, both 87 points - bämm! And no, unfortunately I have nothing left of the Thailander. 🤷🏽♂️😉

Very surprising. Blindly, I would have guessed Foursquare. Lots of wood, chocolate, coffee and some plum. Has lots of bitter notes and seems to have been in the barrel for a very long time.
Review by Serge
Update: I have now opened my bottle and tasted it again. Yes, the nose is really wonderful and makes this rum. A fine column profile with lots of oak, vanilla, caramel, coconut and banana. The palate is no longer so round but rather sharp and rough with a pronounced bitter note. But all in all very good. I go up to 8.2. Nose alone would be a very high 8. Palate a medium 7. Nice column rum with wood, caramel, vanilla, spice and also some coconut and banana. Still a little sharp and impetuous on the palate, but great for the price.
Review by zabo
Edit: I like it much better as a mixer than pure. Can be used both in the MaiTai and as a CubaLibre I was actually expecting more funk and something a bit more unusual. It's still pretty wild and boisterous. This was another one where I tried to experiment a little with adding extra water. I have to admit that it is a lot more pleasing and becomes a solid, tasty sipper. This time there's an extra point after the decimal point for the funny label and the unusual idea.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
I'm a bit confused? That's supposed to be Thailand? Would I immediately put it blindly in the direction of Barbados foursquare or possibly Venezuela? Lots of chocolate, coconut and banana caramel, quasi banana split to drink. Overall very tasty but I don't quite understand the product😆 The alcohol is also surprisingly well integrated! And probably the coolest label in a long time, the tuktuk is mega😆🛺! I'd love a bottle of that! Probably my Thailand reference so far, even if I would never have blindly put it in Thailand! 😆🛺🇹🇭

Schokolade, Banane und Karamell. Sehr lecker 😃
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#5234 14.04.2025 running some samples at home while listening to some Goa Psy Trance. Nose Fresh, light wood, faint smoke, light coconut, light citrus, spice, faint caramel. Palate Medium spicy, fresh, light wood, coconut, light citrus, light chocolate, prunes. Finish Medium to long, medium spicy, fresh, light wood, light chocolate, light prunes, light coconut. Empty glass Coconut, prunes, spice, light caramel, chocolate. Surprisingly good rum especially when looking at the price tag.
Review by Thunderbird
Ein Thailänder der kräftigen und würzigen Sorte mit überraschenden Momenten. An der Nase erinnert er mich zunächst an einen Belize mit viel Vanille-/Kokosnussaromen. Bei längerer Verweildauer bildet sich zudem eine deutliche Zimt- und Klebstoffnote heraus. Am Gaumen ist erst eine schwere karamellisierte Süße vorhanden, der etwas Kokosnuss und Schokolade folgt. Danach schlagen die Gewürze recht kräftig zu. Auch hier wieder etwas Klebstoff. Der Abgang bleibt auf der würzig/holzigen Seite, ist aber relativ kurz. Eine gefällige Abfüllung
Review by Mirco
Interessantes Destillat und bin gespannt was hier zukünftig noch abgefüllt wird. Geht Richtung Foursquare und Thailand hätte ich nie erraten. Viel Holz, Karamell, Schokolade und Vanille mit etwas Frucht.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un rhum thaïlandais qui semble plus âgé que la plupart des profils proposés dans ce terroir. Le nez se laisse facilement confondre avec un Foursquare, on retrouve le fruité opulent de la noix de coco et de la banane, le côté vif d’un chêne toasté et épicé mais aussi la gourmandise du chocolat, de la vanille, du caramel et des noix. Un profil agréable, classique en terme d’aromatique mais surprenant pour le terroir. L’attaque en bouche est puissante, vive sur les épices (piment, vanille, poivre) et le chêne rôti. Les fruits secs (pruneau et raisin) viennent accentuer le côté sec au palais. Malgré cette force, le profil reste gourmand comme le style bajan avec les fruits tropicaux (noix de coco, banane), le chocolat et le caramel. L’alcool pourrait être mieux intégré, le profil est un peu piquant et sauvage malgré tout. La finale est de longueur correcte mais pas des plus intenses. Le côté sucré ressort un peu plus au même titre que les épices qui sont tout aussi dominantes. La réglisse et le chocolat donnent un peu plus d’amertume, contrebalancée par les fruits secs (raisin) et tropicaux (banane et coco). Un rhum intéressant pour découvrir une autre facette de la Thaïlande mais qui demande encore quelques ajustements pour prétendre aux sommets.
Review by RumTaTa
Tasted at the 12th GRF Good rum, but I was expecting something exotic. Instead, you get a well-balanced rum here.
Review by Master P
Spannendes Profil mit vielen klassischen Noten rund um Eichenholz, Karamell und Vanille, die einen präsenten fruchtigen Gegenpart erhalten. Am Gaumen noch etwas ruppig, aber bin gespannt auf weitere abfüllungen.
Review by Alex Kunath
Echt lecker! Gerne mehr aus Thailand mit dieser Qualität.
Review by Skyfly
Mein bisher bester Thailänder. In der Nase überraschend vielschichtig mit Vanille, Kokosnuss, Karamell, Trockenfrüchten, Holz-, Röst- und Gewürzaromen. Im Gaumen trifft man sehr ähnliche Aromen, jedoch bringt der Alkohol eine unangenehme Schärfe mit, die selbst nach dem Abgang noch zu spüren ist.
Review by F.L.O.
Erinnert ein wenig an Foursquare (Light). Aber ein durchaus leckerer Rum. Update….zu eindimensional, auch wenn die Holz und Marzipannote den Rum am Leben hält. Kein daily sipper mehr für mich. Ab und zu reicht aus :-)
Review by Jan Lu
Mein erster Thailänder und ich bin angenehm überrascht. Schön fruchtiger sanfter Geruch. Im Geschmack wird er dann noch ein wenig würziger. Der Abgang ist relativ lang und das Fass kommt etwas zum Vorschein. Mir gefällt der sehr gut, doch der Alkohol könnte besser integriert sein. Luft nach oben ist noch.
Review by Jakob
Spannendes Profil mit vielen klassischen Noten rund um Eichenholz, Karamell und Vanille, die einen präsenten fruchtigen Gegenpart erhalten. Am Gaumen noch etwas scharf, aber davon abgesehen ein absolut ernstzunehmendes neues Gesicht in der Rumwelt.
Review by DosenZorn
An der Nase Hauptsächlich Kokosnuss mit einer Note von leicht angebranntem Holz. Hätte ich sofort nach Barbados zugeordnet. Dazu reife Bananen und ordentlich Pekanuss. Geschmacklich auch Richtung Barbados, insb. Foursquare. Tolle Intensität, der Alkohol könnte etwas besser eingebunden sein. Sonst ein entspannter Rum, der aber kein neues Profil mitbringt. Lecker ist er trotz allem, mit einer eleganten Süße.
Review by Portman
Vor allem tropische Früchte wie Banane und Vanille, etwas Kokos und Kakao. Lässt träumen :-)
Review by Oliver
Interessantes Profil. Aber noch etwas zu wild am Gaumen.
