Outlier Rum – A Manx Hoolie is back to blow a storm in the rum world
We're proud to welcome and partner again with Outlier Distilling Company as exhibitors at this year’s Stockholm Rum Fest, marking their exciting return with more rums to try.
Based on the rugged Isle of Man, Outlier is an independent craft distillery known for bold, unfiltered rums that reflect the wild spirit of their island home.
Named after a fierce island wind, “Hoolie” is a local Manx word that perfectly captures the energy and raw character of Outlier’s signature white rum. Just like the wind, it’s wild, untamed, and impossible to ignore.
At Stockholm Rum Fest, you’ll have the chance to meet the makers, taste the range, and learn the stories behind one of the most talked-about new names in rum. Outlier co-founder and head distiller Ian Warborn-Jones will also host an exclusive masterclass and tasting session, sharing insights, surprises, and the journey behind bringing Manx rum to the world.

From neat to masterpiece: Rethinking Cocktails with Brugal 1888 (50 min

16:00 – 16:50. Location: Chambre Séparée. Language: English
In the world of fine spirits, ultra-premium rum is often reserved for quiet appreciation, sipped slowly and discussed in hushed tones. But what happens when the same level of craftsmanship meets the world of high-end cocktail culture?
Join Christian Labbate, Nordic Brand Ambassador for Brugal rum, for an exclusive tasting experience, exploring how ultra-premium rum can elevate classic and contemporary cocktails to an entirely new level of refinement.
Centred around Brugal 1888, a double aged Dominican rum, this session will challenge the outdated notion that rum is mixed to be masked.
Instead, discover how structure, oak influence, terroir, and column-still precision can create cocktails of depth elegance and balance.
Guests will taste Brugal 1888 both neat and in a curated selection of cocktails; the tasting will also include neat pours of the limited edition Brugal Colección Visionaria and the prestige Brugal Maestro Reserva.
