Artisanal Belgian rum with a unique touch of the Kempen
Heihuyzen M-Rum is an artisanal Belgian dark rum, created by Christophe Lenaerts at the Heihuyzen Estate in Oostmalle. This unique rum is made from sugarcane molasses and aged for at least one year in oak Libournais barrels. The result is a smooth, rich, and full-bodied rum with a warm amber colour and a surprising natural touch of pine cones.
What makes Heihuyzen M-Rum truly special are the carefully selected pine cones from the Kempen. Approximately 17 to 18 pine cones are used per litre, complemented by a subtle infusion of juniper berries and chicory. This combination gives the rum a refined spicy and resinous touch that perfectly harmonises with the warm notes of dark island rum.
Each batch is made entirely by hand in small quantities. One batch corresponds to one oak barrel and yields approximately 400 numbered bottles. This means that each batch has its own character and flavour profile. No industrial mass production, but authentic Belgian craftsmanship with respect for nature, terroir, and tradition.
The rum is developed at the Heihuyzen Estate in Oostmalle and bottled in collaboration with Sterkstokers in Sint-Lenaarts.

Pine cones from the Kempen
