Excerpts from public reviews
What the press says about RumX
How RumX ratings are made
The RumX score is the median of independent community tastings — no editorial grade, no paid reviews, no shop influence. The key rules:
- A score only appears from the 5th rating — single opinions stay single opinions.
- The median instead of the average makes outliers and courtesy ratings ineffective.
- Multi-layer anti-manipulation checks catch suspicious patterns before they reach the score.
Buying through RumX
The RumX marketplace lets you compare offers from over 40 partner shops; more than 6,300 rums currently carry at least one offer. Ratings stay independent of all this — shops can't buy scores or placements. And after every order we ask buyers about their experience; you'll find those shop ratings on each shop's page.
Share experiences: forum & community
In the public RumX forum, members discuss bottlings, bottle splits and blind tastings — openly readable, no account needed. The most direct way to get a feel for the community.
FAQ
RumX is run by a team based in Germany and has over 53,000 registered members. The numbers are externally verifiable: public reviews on Google, the App Store and Trustpilot, plus press coverage of the platform.
Through the marketplace: partner shops pay a commission when you buy via RumX, plus a few affiliate programs. That never changes your price — and it has no influence on ratings: the score comes exclusively from the community.
Yes. There are no paid reviews and no sponsored recommendations. The score is the median of independent community tastings, only appears from the fifth rating, and is protected by multi-layer anti-manipulation checks.
RumX was founded by Oliver Gerhardt, a rum enthusiast from Germany. You’ll find the team, vision and contact options on the About page.
Public reviews on Google, Trustpilot or the App Store help most — where others can read them independently. Feedback about the platform itself reaches us directly via the app or the forum.
