There's a real difference between rum made from molasses and rum made from the cane itself. One is sweetness pulled from a by-product, the other is the juice straight from the field, pressed and fermented while it's still fresh. Echo of Glory is RomDeLuxe's take on that greener, fresher side of rum, matured under Caribbean sun.
Expert's Description
RomDeLuxe Echo of Glory is a Caribbean Rum made from pure sugarcane juice, tropically aged and bottled at 41.2%.
RomDeLuxe is the Danish bottler behind this release. The company started in 2016 as a hobby project among a handful of rum enthusiasts who simply wanted to share some interesting casks, and has since grown into a bottler known well beyond Denmark's borders, today based in Haslev. The name is best known for its cask-strength single casks under lines like Wild Series and Collectors Series, where the proof often sits north of 60%. Echo of Glory shows a different, more approachable side of the house.
Rum made from pure sugarcane juice differs from the far more common molasses rum by keeping some of the cane's own, almost green character instead of drawing purely on the heavier sweetness of a by-product. Tropical ageing pushes the process along fast — the heat gets the rum working with the wood at a pace a cooler climate simply couldn't match.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Fresh cane sweetness meets ripe tropical fruit, with a touch of vanilla and light oak in the background.
Palate
Soft and medium-sweet, with cane sugar and tropical fruit carried by a warm, gently spiced character from the cask.
Finish
Medium in length and warm, with a sweetness that lingers alongside a quiet touch of wood.
