A well-travelled taste, an intoxicating aroma that enchants the senses. ### Royal Heritage Named after Christian V, King of Denmark and Norway, born 1647 at Duborg Castle in Flensburg. ### Maritime Tradition The finest Caribbean sugarcane, imported via the historic trade route from the Danish Virgin Islands. ### Triple Distilled A masterful composition of Caribbean sugarcane and the pure glacial water of the Baltic moraine. The King ## Christian V Christian V, future King of Denmark and Norway, was born in 1647 in the seaport of Flensburg Duborg. At that time, it didn't mean much for Germans. But, that was back then. Christian V was a King made of more. And so He expanded his empire offshore in the Danish Virgin Islands. A vision that would change forever the history of Flensburg, his hometown. The lion and the eagle in the Christian V Rum coat of arms represent Denmark and Germany – two nations that have fought over the harbour city of Flensburg for centuries, whose legacy lives on in every drop of this rum. ![Christian V Coat of Arms – Lion and Eagle](/assets/label-illustration-Cyp6PahL.webp) The Bottle Story ## Here's to You, Christian V 260 years ago.

At that time, it didn't mean much for Germans. But, that was back then. 1671 ### Caribbean Expansion Christian V was a King made of more. And so He expanded his empire offshore in the Danish Virgin Islands. A vision that would change forever the history of Flensburg, his hometown. 1755 ### The Trade Route A trade route between the Danish West Indies and Flensburg was created. And because the sugar cane imported from the Virgin Islands was so mouth-watering, we people from the North became addicted to rum ever since. 1866 ### Flensburg Becomes German Flensburg turned German after the win of Prussia and Austria. Okay the trade route slightly changed – moving from Virgin Islands to Jamaica – but the quality of sugar cane distilled in Flensburg rum factories always stayed the same. Today ### Long Live the King Christian V's legacy keeps inspiring the younger generation of Flensburgers. So to continue His story, and because real legends always rise from their ashes, we distill in our factory in Flensburg the same sugar cane imported 260 years ago from the Virgin Islands. Here's to a name to be forever remembered: Christian V. Long live the King.
