In the spring of 2024, Roel Van Dyck opened the doors to Rhumlicious, the culmination of a long-held dream. His passion for rum began at the age of 18 when a good friend gave him a bottle of delicious Spanish rum.
That first sip was more than just a drink it was a revelation. Roel discovered a world of flavors and stories that captivated him immediately. Rum, for him, was not just an ordinary beverage, but liquid art.
At the age of 20, in the year 2007, he started building his own rum collection. What began modestly with a few carefully selected bottles soon grew into an extensive collection that filled his home. Every bottle was a new adventure, a journey to distant lands and ancient traditions. The Caribbean, in particular, held a special place in his heart: the warmth of the islands, the scent of fresh sugarcane, and the craftsmanship of distillers who poured their heart and soul into every drop.
Roel knew he couldn’t keep this passion to himself. He wanted to share the stories and magic behind every bottle with others. This is how Rhumlicious was born a place where rum enthusiasts come together not only to taste the finest rum but also to discover the culture, history, and craftsmanship behind the drink. For Roel, Rhumlicious is much more than a store it is a tribute to his love for rum, an invitation to experience the soul of this remarkable spirit.
Here, lovers of rum can immerse themselves in a world where taste and craftsmanship go hand in hand, and where every bottle has a story to tell.
Cheers!
