Who we're looking for

  • An active blog or channel publishing rum reviews for 6+ months.
  • Independent voice, you set your own scores, we don't pay for placement.
  • A consistent scoring system readers can compare across reviews.
  • Publishing in English, German, French, or another language we can support.

  • Single-review blogs with no recent publishing cadence.
  • Content built primarily on AI-generated tasting notes.
Frequently asked

Common questions from applicants

No. Partnering is free, forever. RumX monetises through its app and marketplace, not partner fees.

Never. We cite your score and quote a short snippet (under 200 characters) with a link to the full article on your site. You keep full copyright.

Once you’re accepted, we scan your archive, match each review to the correct rum in our database, and pull the score, short quote, and link. Takes a few days and happens once, after that it’s continuous.

Your profile stays live with your existing reviews. If you ever want it removed, one email takes it offline within 24 hours.

Varies by how often your reviews are cited on consensus picks and PDPs. Partners with 100+ reviews typically see a few hundred monthly referral visits. We don’t make promises we can’t verify.
