By rum lovers, for rum lovers

I'm Oliver — together with Jakob, Robert and Lukas, we started RumX in 2018 as a small passion project in Stuttgart, back then under the name Rum Tasting Notes.

What began as a digital tasting diary is now the world's most comprehensive platform for rum fans. We combine the collective intelligence of our community with an integrated marketplace, so you can choose with confidence — without paperwork, detours, or expert jargon.

Frequently Asked Questions

RumX is an innovative platform and app for rum lovers, which has grown from a German hobby project to the largest community platform for rum worldwide in just a few years. Founder Oliver Gerhardt originally launched RumX in 2018 as an app called “Rum Tasting Notes” with only around 300 rums in the database at the time. Thanks to a combination of technical innovation and genuine passion for rum, it quickly grew into a vibrant community. Today, RumX has the most comprehensive rum database in the world and connects rum fans around the globe with all the information and opportunities to exchange ideas on the subject of rum.

RumX stands out with its all-in-one concept, which is unique in the world of rum. With tens of thousands of members, over 25,000 different rums in the database, and more than 250,000 reviews, RumX is already the largest rum platform in the world. Users can find comprehensive information about rums before purchasing, buy them directly through RumX, and then rate them—and even manage their own collection digitally and exchange ideas with other rum fans in the forum. This seamless symbiosis of extensive knowledge, community exchange, and direct purchasing feature is unique to RumX and makes the platform an indispensable companion for rum connoisseurs and collectors.

The collective intelligence of the RumX community, with over 250,000 authentic reviews, offers enormous added value for all rum lovers. Instead of buying rum blind, RumX allows you to draw on the experiences of thousands of other enthusiasts and find out in advance what to expect in terms of taste. The pooled opinions and detailed tasting notes help you make informed purchasing decisions. The more reviews and taste impressions are collected, the more accurate the personalized recommendations become – making expensive mispurchases a thing of the past.

By integrating dozens of partner shops, RumX offers a selection of rum that is unparalleled in Europe. The platform currently features information and reviews on over 25,000 different rums – from popular entry-level rums to rare collector’s bottlings. At the same time, the RumX community already brings together tens of thousands of rum fans worldwide on one platform. This combination of a huge assortment and an active community makes RumX the first port of call for rum lovers who want to discover the whole spectrum of the rum world.

The shop-in-shop approach means that RumX has integrated its own marketplace where leading European rum retailers showcase their product ranges. RumX shows you directly which shop has which bottle in stock and at what price, and you can buy the rum you want immediately with just one central RumX account. This integrated shopping experience saves you the hassle of searching and comparing across different retailer websites. The entire process—from discovering a rum to reading reviews to making a purchase—is seamlessly combined on the platform, greatly enhancing convenience for users.

The RumX app bundles all the important features for rum lovers in a single application. It offers an extensive database with detailed information on thousands of rums (origin, age, additives, if applicable) as well as authentic tasting notes and reviews from the community. As a user, you can record your own tasting notes, rate rums, and manage your personal rum collection digitally – including displaying the current market value of your bottles. The app also features an active community area with a forum where like-minded people can exchange ideas and even arrange private bottle sharing (sample offers) to try new rums at a low cost.

Behind RumX is Oliver Gerhardt from Stuttgart, himself a passionate rum fan and software developer. During his studies, he discovered the fascination of enjoying rum neat through a chance taste test of high-quality rums. In 2018, Oliver began developing an app for tasting notes and collection management based on this hobby, which he initially published with around 300 entries. The former hobby project quickly turned into a startup: Oliver made RumX his full-time project and, with a small team, built what is now the world’s leading platform for rum enthusiasts.

RumX’s vision is to connect rum lovers around the world and bring the incredible diversity of rum to life. Oliver and his team believe that rum is the most versatile spirit in the world – accordingly, they focus all their energy on operating the most comprehensive and high-quality platform for rum connoisseurs. RumX aims to be the go-to place for everyone, from beginners to experts, to discover new rums, exchange knowledge, and share their passion for rum.

Yes, RumX is free to use – and will remain so in the future. It is important to us that every rum fan has free access to the community and all information. To ensure the further development of the app, RumX relies on a sustainable business model: when a user purchases a bottle via the integrated marketplace, RumX receives a small commission from the retailer without any additional costs for the buyer. This allows the platform to be financed and continuously improved, while all users can continue to use the core functions of the app for free. With RX+, rum lovers can also actively support the further development of the app and unlock cool convenience features. Thank you to everyone who supports us! ❤️

The name RumX stands for the four pillars of the app. The “X” symbolizes Xchange (exchange with the community), Xplore (discover and explore the rum database), Xperience (the rum experience and professional tastings), and Xtend (expand or manage your own collection). With these four core areas, RumX covers all aspects of the rum hobby – so the name expresses that the platform is holistically geared towards the needs of rum enthusiasts.
