The sixth release in RomDeLuxe's Selected Series crosses the Atlantic, where Guyana's heavy, molasses-driven rum heritage meets an entirely different continent in a single blend.
Expert Description
RomDeLuxe Selected Series Rum no. 6 Sailors Choice is a Rum blended from rum from Guyana and India, aged 12 years through a solera system and bottled at 42%.
The blend unites the heavy, molasses-driven character of Guyanese rum with rum from India, a far more unusual origin in the rum world, all cask-aged in American bourbon casks. RomDeLuxe selected this exact combination as the sixth release in the house's Selected Series to show how two very different rum traditions can merge into a single round, sweet profile.
The name Sailors Choice refers to the classic British navy rum style, where powerful sweetness and body were traditionally preferred by sailors on long voyages.

Did You Know?
India is one of the most unusual origins in this blend, as the country is traditionally far better known for its whisky production than for rum, making Sailors Choice a rare opportunity to taste an Indian rum component in a Western context.
