RDL Collectors Series

A series made for the more curious collector hunting for rare, characterful bottles outside the well-known brands. Every release is chosen for its individuality rather than its familiarity, often as single casks at full cask strength. This is the shelf for anyone who'd rather discover something new than buy the same thing again.

  • RomDeLuxe Collectors Series Rum 10 Barbados rum bottle
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280234

    19 years in a colder, continental climate have given this Foursquare rum a gentler, milder character than one usually associates with Barbados's tropical heat.

    Expert Description

    RomDeLuxe Collectors Series Rum #10 Barbados is a Barbados Rum, distilled at the Foursquare distillery in 2002 and aged 19 years, bottled at 50.7%.

    The rum is distilled from molasses on both pot and column stills and has spent most of its ageing in a continental climate rather than Barbados's tropical heat. This gives the bottle a lighter, golden colour and a gentler, milder character than most other RomDeLuxe releases from Foursquare, where tropical ageing typically creates a darker, more intense profile. Only 214 bottles were drawn from this 19-year-old single cask.

    The result is an elegant, approachable rum where Foursquare's classic coconut and vanilla character appears in an unusually gentle guise.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Gentle coconut and vanilla with a hint of chocolate and fine wood notes.

    Palate

    Mild and round with the same coconut and vanilla character as on the nose, supported by light spices.

    Finish

    Softly concluding with fine wood notes and persistent chocolate.

  • RomDeLuxe Collectors Series Rum 8 Dominican Republic Single Cask rum bottle
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280053

    592 bottles is all the world got of this blend, where RomDeLuxe lets a high-ester Jamaican legacy rub off on the Dominican Republic's gentlest rum style.

    Expert Description

    RomDeLuxe Collectors Series Rum #8 Dominican Republic Single Cask is a Dominican Republic Rum, a blend of 15 and 16 year old rum bottled at 65%.

    The rum consists of 80% 15-year-old, tropically aged Dominican rum distilled on column stills and aged in ex-bourbon casks, while the remaining 20% is a 16-year-old Grand Arome, a high-ester rum style originally developed in Jamaica. This combination gives the soft, mild Dominican base character a touch of Jamaican intensity without overpowering it. The release came in March 2022 and comprised only 592 numbered bottles.

    The result is a rum that unites the gentleness of Dominican rum craft with a distinct, more characterful layer beneath the surface.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Soft caramel and tropical fruit, with a touch of funky ester and light molasses in the background.

    Palate

    Mild and round with vanilla and brown sugar, where the Grand Arome portion adds a touch of intensity.

    Finish

    Soft and lightly spiced, with a lingering sweetness from the many years of tropical ageing.

  • RomDeLuxe Collectors Series Rum 13 Barbados Single Cask rum bottle
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-1972798203254

    The Foursquare distillery in Barbados delivers another cask to RomDeLuxe's Collectors Series, this time matured in a cask that previously held Scotch single malt whisky.

    Expert Description

    RomDeLuxe Collectors Series Rum #13 Barbados Single Cask is a Barbados Rum, bottled from a single cask by the Danish bottler RomDeLuxe, distilled in April 2007 at the Foursquare distillery and aged 15 years in an ex-whisky cask, bottled at 60.7%.

    The rum carries the mark MBFSWM and comes from the Foursquare distillery under the supervision of Richard Seale and his team, known for their traditional approach without added sugar or colouring. After distillation, the rum was laid down in a cask that had previously held Scotch single malt whisky, giving it a different character than the classic bourbon and sherry casks usually seen from Barbados. Only 281 bottles were filled in September 2022.

    The result is a powerful, cask-strength rum where Barbados' classic balance meets a distinct whisky cask character.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Caramel, toasted oak and a pronounced whisky cask spiciness, with a hint of dried fruit.

    Palate

    Powerful and spiced with brown sugar, malt and a distinct oak tannin fullness.

    Finish

    Long and warm with lingering spice and a dry, malty close.

  • RomDeLuxe Collectors Series Rum 12 Guyana Single Cask rum bottle
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-1972798203243

    Guyana is home to some of the world's last preserved wooden pot stills, and from this tradition comes a 2006 cask that RomDeLuxe has followed through 16 years of maturation.

    Expert Description

    RomDeLuxe Collectors Series Rum #12 Guyana Single Cask is a Guyana Rum, bottled from a single cask by the Danish bottler RomDeLuxe, distilled in 2006 at the Diamond distillery and aged 16 years, bottled at 53%.

    The rum is distilled on the legendary copper-marked still profile known as "REV", one of several classic Guyana distillate marks that originate from the era of separate plantation distilleries and are today continued at the Diamond distillery using historic stills. The 16 years in the tropical climate have given the rum a deep, molasses-heavy character typical of the region's heavy pot still tradition.

    The rum is, like all RomDeLuxe releases, bottled with no filtration, added sugar or colouring, straight from the cask.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Dark molasses, leather and a hint of tar, with underlying dried fruit.

    Palate

    Heavy and rich with burnt sugar, spiced wood and a touch of liquorice.

    Finish

    Long and dark, with lingering molasses and a dry, tannic close.

    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19727982063243

    From the southern tip of Barbados's Foursquare distillery, RomDeLuxe selects a single cask left to mature for 17 years, long enough for Barbados rum's classic round sweetness to gain extra depth.

    Expert Description

    RomDeLuxe Collectors Series Rum #14 Barbados Single Cask is a Barbados Rum, distilled at the Foursquare distillery in 2005 and aged 17 years in a single cask, bottled at 57.9%.

    RomDeLuxe is a Danish bottling house founded by Claus Andersen, Kim Pedersen and Michael Ginnerup, who travel the world seeking the best single casks from renowned distilleries. Collectors Series is the house's flagship series, known for labels and boxes adorned with animal motifs, and this release comes from cask number 92. The 17 years spent in Barbados's tropical climate have given the rum a depth and complexity that sets it apart from the younger Foursquare releases in RomDeLuxe's range.

    The result is a well-balanced, full-bodied rum where Foursquare's classic style meets the extra depth only long tropical ageing can provide.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Rich caramel and ripe tropical fruit, supported by spiced oak and a hint of molasses.

    Palate

    Full-bodied and round with brown sugar, vanilla and dried fruit, carried by warm spices.

    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19727982032

    Seventeen years of ageing in Jamaica gives rum an intensity few other styles can match, and here RomDeLuxe has found a cask that shows exactly why.

    Expert Description

    RomDeLuxe Collectors Series Rum #15 Jamaica Single Cask is a Jamaica Rum, bottled from a single cask by the Danish bottler RomDeLuxe, distilled in 2005 at the Worthy Park distillery and aged 17 years, bottled at 54.4%.

    Worthy Park is one of Jamaica's most respected pot still distilleries, known for its pronounced, ester-rich style, fully preserved when RomDeLuxe bottles directly from the cask with no filtration, added sugar or colouring. The 17 years of ageing in the Caribbean climate have given the rum an unusual depth and intensity, where the characteristic Jamaican funk has been woven together with decades of woody fullness.

    The result is one of the most powerful and complex Jamaican rums in RomDeLuxe's Collectors Series.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Ripe banana, sticky funk and a hint of liquorice, supported by dark caramel.

    Only 304 bottles exist of this rare single cask release from the Danish rum house RomDeLuxe, sourced from an island rarely seen on Danish rum shelves: La Réunion.

    Expert Description

    RomDeLuxe Collectors Series Rum #7 La Reunion Single Cask is a La Réunion Rum, bottled from a single cask by the Danish bottler RomDeLuxe, aged 8 years in a former red wine cask and bottled at 55.6%.

    RomDeLuxe, founded by Kristian Jørgensen, specialises in seeking out and bottling rare, unadulterated rum casks from around the world, with no added sugar or colouring. This release in the respected Collectors Series comes from the French island of La Réunion in the Indian Ocean, where the rum tradition is closely linked to the agricole style also known from Martinique, but with its own, more spiced character. The red wine cask lends a deep, winey complexity rarely found in the otherwise pure agricole style.

    The bottle was filled in November 2021, and with only 304 bottles produced it is a sought-after rarity for collectors.

    Tasting Notes

  • Rum bottle with yellow-orange label, RomDeLuxe Collectors Series
    Item no.: 059763-615-877

    On the small island of Marie Galante off Guadeloupe, sugarcane juice is still boiled fresh the same day it is cut. This bottle began its journey there and ended up in a Danish Oloroso cask.

    Expert Description

    RomDeLuxe Collectors Series Rum #19 is a Guadeloupean Single Cask Rum made from fresh sugarcane juice and bottled at cask strength 63.1%.

    The rum was distilled in 2018 on the island of Marie Galante, where the cane is pressed and distilled the same day it is harvested – unlike the molasses-based rum that dominates most of the world. It first matured for 4 years in French oak casks in France, before RomDeLuxe brought it home to Denmark and let it finish for an extra year in a spent Oloroso sherry cask.

    The result is a rum rooted in the French agricole tradition, carrying a distinctly Danish fingerprint from the sherry cask that adds a sweetness and depth it would not have on its own.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Fresh sugarcane and green grass meet raisin, dried apricot and a sweet sherry tone from the finishing.

    Palate

    Full-bodied and fruity with ripe plums, a hint of nuts and spiced oak tying it all together.

    Finish

    Long, warm and lightly sweet with a dry, woody finish where the sherry cask still lingers.

    Did You Know?

    Rum from Marie Galante and the rest of the French overseas departments may only be called "Rhum Agricole" when made from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses – a tradition dating back to the 1800s, when it was simply cheaper to press the cane directly than to refine it into sugar first.

About RDL Collectors Series

RDL Collectors Series is a collector's series of spirits aimed at enthusiasts hunting for rare and remarkable releases. The series focuses on characterful bottles with clear collector appeal. The boxes are often decorated with striking animal motifs, and because many releases are limited single casks, they tend to disappear from shelves quickly - making the series a regular talking point among Danish rum enthusiasts and a frequent subject of reviews within the spirits community.

History & Background

The series is built around the principle of selecting and releasing spirits that differ from the big, well-known brands, appealing to the more dedicated collector and enthusiast. RDL stands for Romdeluxe, the Danish rum import company behind the series, whose passion for rum has led to collaborations with distilleries and cask suppliers worldwide. Because each bottling typically runs to only a few hundred bottles, the Collectors Series has become a fixed point of reference for Danish collectors who follow new releases closely.

Production & Style

Each release in the series is individually selected with a focus on quality and character, making RDL Collectors Series a varied collection rather than a uniform product.

Signature Style

Varied, Characterful, Rare
Flavour varies from bottle to bottle, but a clear focus on character and quality over mass production runs through it all.
