Rum deals: current price drops

Why we don't show discount tags

A discount tag only compares a shop with itself. “−30%” sounds great — but against which price? Usually against a strike-through price or an RRP the shop sets itself, and nobody can verify. Whether a deal is actually good is something only the market can tell you — not the tag.

That's why we made a clear decision in 2026: RumX no longer shows shop discounts or strike-through prices — from any partner shop. Instead, we monitor prices across more than 40 shops around the clock and compare every rum against its previously cheapest market price, shipping to your country included. Only when that best price genuinely falls (at least −5% and −2 €) will you see a “−X%” on RumX.

That also means real price drops are rare — and that's exactly the point. When you see a “−X%” here, there's no discount theatre behind it, just a market movement we measured ourselves. “Was X € on RumX” means we observed that price — no retailer claimed it. And we only show urgency when it's real: no countdown timers, no artificial scarcity.

How deep the drops are right now

Of the 122 rums currently on offer, the median drop is 11%. 30 bottlings have fallen by more than 20%, the deepest by 56%. These numbers are not typed in: they are computed on every build from the same price data behind the cards above. So if only a handful of rums is listed here, there were only a handful of real price drops.

When a rum deal is actually worth it

A deal is not good because the percentage is big. It is good when the price falls below what the rum normally costs, and when the bottle is worth the money in the first place. You can see both at a glance here: every card shows the price drop and the community rating side by side. A rum at 6.5/10 does not get better with 30 % off, it just gets cheaper.

Two things are worth checking before you buy. First the total price: we include shipping to your country, because a deal with 9 EUR of postage often is not one. Second, the depth relative to the price. On a 25 EUR bottle, 5 % is about one euro; on a 200 EUR bottle it is ten. That is why we also apply an absolute floor of 2 EUR. Which rum suits you in the first place is best settled beforehand in the best-of list or by style in the rum types.

Why there are no RumX discount codes

Coupon sites keep listing supposed RumX discount codes. They are not from us: RumX doesn't issue codes, and the checkout has no field to redeem one. There is a real discount though — just without a code: in the RumX app you get 5% off your first order, automatically and across the entire range. And this page is where the real deals live: we continuously compare prices across over 40 shops and only list genuine drops of 5% or more against the previously cheapest delivered price.

How RumX detects price drops

We compare the cheapest delivered price for every rum against the previous check. When a price falls by 5% or more (and at least €2), we flag it as a drop. The flag stays for 7 days, or until the price reverts upward.

FAQ

Catching deals before they are gone

A price drop is valid here for at most seven days. After that it becomes the new normal price and the mark disappears, even if the price stays low. Often a deal is gone before then, because specialist retailers hold small quantities. If you have a particular bottle in mind, set a price alert: you set it on the rum's own page, and the RumX app tells you the moment the price falls, instead of you checking back here daily. For rare bottlings that no shop stocks any more, the auctions are the second source.
