Romdeluxe Collectors Series Æon Infinity Blended (Caribbean Rum)

RomDeluxe Collectors Series Aeon Infinity Blended is a Caribbean island blend from the Danish bottler RomDeluxe, drawing rum from multiple countries and distilleries. RomDeluxe is best known for its high ester, high strength Wild Series funk bombs, but this Collectors Series release sits at the gentler end of the catalogue, a softer, more sociable blend bottled at 43%.

The profile is warm and rounded rather than wild. Caramel, dried fruit and spice lead the nose, with the palate offering caramel, vanilla, raisin and a woody backbone, and the finish carrying spice and more caramel. It drinks as a spiced, lightly sweet blend, a pleasant opener for an evening rather than a heavyweight sipper. As an assembly of many components married together, it trades the singular character of a single cask for easy approachability, making it a relaxed pour to share.
