Romdeluxe Limited Batch Series 2015

Romdeluxe Limited Batch Series 2015 is a young Cuban rum from the Danish bottler RomDeluxe, drawn from a 2015 vintage and bottled unsweetened at cask strength, a forceful 65.1%, after maturation in virgin oak. RomDeluxe is known for high strength, additive free releases, and this delivers a dry, wood forward profile that stands well apart from the soft, sweet Spanish norm.

The virgin oak leaves a clear mark, giving bright citrus and yellow fruit on the nose alongside spice and a sugary lift, then a wood and spice driven palate with a cola note, light smoke and tobacco. There is no added sugar to soften it, so the high proof and oak set the tone throughout. This is a punchy, characterful and slightly wild Cuban rum, one for drinkers who enjoy dry, cask strength spirit and the citrus, tobacco and wood of a Spanish profile turned up loud, at its best in a focused sipping session or a bold cocktail.
