Kong Spirit Kong Ron

Expecting rum here will throw you — this drinks more like a herbal liqueur. Eucalyptus leads hard, backed by mint, fresh green herbs, a floral edge and a whisper of milk chocolate. One member called it a "unicorn," totally unlike anything else on the shelf; another swore it was closer to gin. Divisive, and it knows it.

The community says
  • Truly unique
  • Keep in mind: Barely rum-like
  • Keep in mind: Eucalyptus-heavy

Eucalyptus-driven, herbal-liqueur oddity, not classic rum Genuinely polarizing — you either enjoy the eucalyptus oddity or find it barely rum. Even fans admit it drinks more like a herbal liqueur than anything traditional.

Perfect for

curious drinkers wanting something unlike any rum

Less suitable for

Dry, unsweetened spiced rum with a charity character for gorillas. But somehow it only smells fresh like eucalyptus 🤣 I don't really understand why it has to cost €80... I can also make a eucalyptus infusion myself😅

Sweeter in the nose than in the taste, similar to Plantation XO, but even sweeter.

It's a very confusing piece which for me is closer to gin. I smell a lot of juniper and herbs. In taste a hint of cream otherwise sharper and sharper

More of a liquer or something than a rum. This is one of those unicors - totally different, totally unique (for good or bad). Very earthy and fresh at the same time, herbal, minty, floral. I quite enjoyed it, maybe because I didn't expect rum.
