RomDeLuxe Rum

Kim Pedersen and Michael Ginnerup started out as two rum nerds with too many empty bottles and too much knowledge of Jamaican distillates. Today RomDeLuxe is one of the most respected Danish voices in the rum world, driven by the same curiosity that started it all.
  • RomDeLuxe Limited Batch Series Ghana Arc rum bottle cask strength
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19642

    From double-distilled cane juice in Ghana to European oak casks. Ghana Arc is one of RomDeLuxe's most unusual releases, both for its origin and for its maturation journey.

    Expert Description

    RomDeLuxe Limited Batch Series No. 1 Ghana Arc is a Ghana Rum distilled from pure cane juice, aged on new American oak casks in Europe and bottled at 60.3%.

    The rum comes from Ghana, an unusual origin in the rum world, where it's double-distilled in traditional stills from pure cane juice rather than molasses. After distillation, the rum was shipped to Europe, where it aged entirely in new American oak casks, a maturation path markedly different from the tropical ageing most Caribbean rum undergoes. The release is limited to 188 bottles from this single batch.

    The result is a lively, complex rum where the estery, agricole-like freshness of the cane juice meets a distinct, young oak character from the new casks.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Fresh, light wood and ester, with light caramel, fruitiness and a touch of nuts and clove.

    Palate

    Warm, oaky and lightly roasted, with ester, fruitiness, a hint of smoke, salt and liquorice.

    Finish

    Long and warm, powerful with wood, roasted tones, ester, fruit and liquorice.

  • RomDeLuxe Echo of Glory 70 cl Rum 41.2%
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19585

    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.

  • RomDeLuxe Selected Series no 4 Caribbean Blend rum bottle
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19584

    Two countries, one blend. Caribbean Blend brings together rum from Guyana and the Dominican Republic through a solera-like process, showing what happens when two very different rum traditions meet.

    Expert Description

    RomDeLuxe Selected Series Rum no. 4 Caribbean Blend is a Caribbean Rum blended from rum from Guyana and the Dominican Republic, aged 12 years through a solera process and bottled at 42%.

    The blend unites the heavy, molasses-driven character of Guyanese rum with the softer, cleaner style of Dominican rum, all cask-aged in American ex-bourbon casks. The solera process means younger and older rum are continuously blended together, giving a consistent, deeply complex character. RomDeLuxe selected this combination as the fourth release in the house's Selected Series to show how two rum nations' styles can reinforce each other in a single bottle.

    The result is a sweet but well-balanced rum, where caramel and burnt wood provide richness without becoming overwhelming.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Caramel, vanilla and brown sugar.

    Palate

    Sweet and round with caramel, vanilla and a hint of burnt wood.

    Finish

    Medium length and sweet, with a lingering caramel note.

    Caribbean Blend is one of the few RomDeLuxe bottlings that deliberately blends rum from two different countries instead of highlighting a single distillery, an approach that shows the house's willingness to experiment beyond the classic single cask philosophy.

  • RomDeLuxe Selected Series no 2 Dominican Republic rum bottle
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19582

    A rum to enjoy with a piece of dark chocolate in hand. The second release in RomDeLuxe's Selected Series takes the road through the Dominican Republic and the Spanish rum style's soft, coffee-like character.

    Expert Description

    RomDeLuxe Selected Series Rum no. 2 Dominican Republic is a Dominican Republic Rum aged 5 years and bottled at 40%.

    The rum is distilled in the Dominican Republic and has since spent 5 years in American bourbon casks in the tropical climate, giving it a rich, complex flavour profile. RomDeLuxe selected this rum as the second release in the house's Selected Series and highlights it as a classic representative of the Spanish rum style, where purity and a soft, lightly sweet character take centre stage over the more powerful, ester-rich Jamaican style.

    RomDeLuxe recommends the rum as a natural companion to a piece of dark chocolate, a combination that underscores its coffee and cocoa-driven notes.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Coffee, dark chocolate and vanilla.

    Palate

    Round and soft with tones of roasted coffee, cocoa and a light sweetness from the bourbon casks.

    Finish

    Soft and medium length, with a lingering chocolate note.

    Did You Know?

    The Spanish rum style, of which this rum is an example, stems from a tradition where the rum is filtered and aged with a focus on purity and softness, a clear contrast to the more rustic, funky style found in countries like Jamaica.

About RomDeLuxe Rum

RomDeLuxe is a Danish independent rum bottler that has made a name for itself by getting extremely close to the source, with a particular fondness for rum from Jamaica, Guyana, Martinique and Guadeloupe. The company bottles rare, single cask releases with full transparency about distillery, vintage and cask type, making RomDeLuxe a fixture in Danish rum collectors' cabinets. For beginners, it's a safe way into the nerdier side of rum, while seasoned collectors value the hand-picked approach and the detailed information that comes with every bottle.

History & background

RomDeLuxe was founded in 2016, starting as a hobby project for a couple of passionate rum enthusiasts before growing into one of Denmark's most respected independent rum bottlers. The company is run by Kim Pedersen, who serves as CEO and Mastertaster, together with Michael Ginnerup, and both have built deep expertise through years of travel and tastings across the Caribbean rum regions. The growth from hobby to recognised bottler has tracked the explosion of interest in single cask rum among Danish collectors.

Production & style

RomDeLuxe doesn't distil itself but selects single casks from respected distilleries in the Caribbean and South America, often focusing on molasses-based rum distilled on either pot still or column still, depending on origin. The casks are matured further and typically bottled without added sugar or colouring, letting the rum's raw character and the tropical climate's heavy angel's share come through clearly.

Signature style

Intense, Terroir-driven, Unfiltered
From Jamaica's funky ester richness to Guyana's dark molasses weight, flavour varies cask by cask, but always with a clear, unadulterated sense of origin.
