Rum Tasting in Rotterdam

Rum is a world of its own, from light and playful to deep, warm and aged. During the rum tasting in Rotterdam at Le Flamant Bleu, you travel through different styles and origins, guided by a connoisseur and in the atmospheric seclusion of our speakeasy.

 

A Journey through the World of Rum

Long before rum was poured into elegant glasses, it crossed the world’s oceans in wooden casks, carried by sailors, traders and adventurers.

Born from sugar cane and shaped by tropical climates, rum grew into one of the most legendary spirits in the world.

The Sugarcane Chronicles

During The Sugarcane Chronicles, Le Flamant Bleu invites you to discover three carefully selected premium aged rums, each with its own character, depth and complexity, developed through years of maturation. Explore the rich aromas, warm spices and refined smoothness that only time can produce. The journey ends with a timeless classic: The Daiquiri. The story of sugar cane, craftsmanship and time — told in four glasses. €45 per person
