RumX Awards 2022 - The Best Rums of the Year Revealed - Part I

Another year lies behind us, which means a lot in the world of rum: Plenty of new rums that ended up in our tasting glasses or as bottles on our collection shelves; many great meetups, conversations and encounters with rum friends from various geographies; and some smaller, some larger rum tasting sessions with both newer releases as well as older, legendary all-time favorites. We’d like to thank you, our community members, for making these special moments happen, for living and breathing the spirit of a truly collaborative, caring, inspiring, sometimes controversial but always respectful community that helps all of us find, experience and exchange on our favorite spirits on the next level. And no, we did not come up with this conclusion after finishing our end-of-year rum session, it is backed by the sheer numbers that document what happened in RumX: From January to December 2022, 2,860 new rums were added to the database and 56,537 new community ratings were entered – this is more than double the amount we had seen in 2021! YOU ROCK!
