A.H. Johannsen Rum – Flensburg city centre

Flensburg's oldest active rum house — and one of the oldest in Germany — has been based since 1878 in the more than 300-year-old 'Marienburg' on Marienstraße. A.H. Johannsen is still an independent family business and keeps the Flensburg rum tradition alive with great care and a lot of handwork. The range includes around a dozen rum specialities from mild everyday rum to mature premium blends, plus Flensburg vodka, aquavit and various liqueurs. The shop in the Marienburg is one of the most atmospheric retail addresses in the entire city.
