RomDeLuxe Collectors Series Rum #19 NO BOX Guadeloupe Single Cask Rum 70 cl 63.1%

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.

Investment Potential

Low to medium. Collectors Series is an ongoing line from RomDeLuxe, but this particular cask never returns once the bottle is empty.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions about RomDeLuxe Collectors Series Rum #19

What is a Rhum Agricole?

It is rum made directly from fresh sugarcane juice instead of molasses, a tradition especially known from the French Caribbean islands like Martinique and Guadeloupe.

Why was the rum finished in a sherry cask?

RomDeLuxe brought the rum home to Denmark and let it rest an extra year in a spent Oloroso sherry cask, adding sweetness, nutty notes and depth to the original agricole character.

What is the difference between Collectors Series and Wild Series from RomDeLuxe?

Collectors Series is typically a bit more approachable and rounded, while Wild Series is the company's most rustic and unpredictable line, marked by animal-themed labels.

Is the rum sweetened or coloured?

No, it is bottled naturally with no additives, so you get the pure character of both the sugarcane and the sherry cask.

How should I serve this rum?

Best at room temperature in a narrow glass, preferably without ice, so the fruity and sherry-tinged aromas can unfold.

Why does the bottle not have a box?

This release is sold without its box, which does not affect the rum's quality — only the outer packaging.
