Romdeluxe Travellers Wild Series Rum Origin No. 2 Draw 5 2022

Romdeluxe Travellers Wild Series Rum Origin No. 2 Draw 5 2022 is an unaged white from RomDeluxe, the Danish house whose Wild Series is built on high strength, single cask funk with black and white animal labels. Drawn from the Travellers distillery in Belize and bottled at 60%, this fifth draw is the last before the tail, the most concentrated and powerful part of the run.

Fermented long and bottled clear at cask strength, it leads with a fresh, funky and grassy nose laced with earthy and fruity notes, then a palate of citrus, herbs, olive brine and ripe tropical fruit that is intense and savoury. The finish stays warm, dry and faintly olive. Being the later draw, it carries real power in the flavours and a fine balance between the green, briny and fruity elements. Dry and surprisingly layered for a white rum, it suits drinkers who enjoy high ester whites and funky, characterful unaged cane spirit.
