Romdeluxe - The story behind the danish rumcompany

Whisky.dk Season 2 Episode 83

🔥 From Hobby Project to Internationally Acclaimed Bottler – The Story of Romdeluxe 🔥

What happens when passion, curiosity, and boldness come together in a single glass? You get the story of Romdeluxe here a Whisky.dk´s ai Podcast – The Danish adventure that has grown from a small hobby project into one of the most respected independent rum bottlers in the world.

It all started quietly. In 2016, Claus Andersen and Lasse Bjørklund set out with a simple goal: to secure a few good bottles of rum for their own enjoyment. But as their interest – and the demand – grew, the project quickly evolved.
 By 2019, new people joined the team, and Romdeluxe’s ambitions took off. It was no longer just a passion project; it was a mission to put Denmark on the global rum map.

And they succeeded.

💥 Their “Wild Series” became a turning point – a line of rums that made collectors and connoisseurs take notice. It wasn’t about age or rarity but about taste, intensity, and character. One of their first releases, with a tiger on the label and a staggering 85.2% ABV, became a symbol of their fearless approach. Raw, honest – and unforgettable.

But Romdeluxe is more than just high strength and eye-catching bottles. Behind every release lies a philosophy: they never buy a cask they don’t personally love. Every choice is guided by passion and instinct – not spreadsheets or market trends.
 As Master Taster Kim Pedersen puts it:

“We don’t buy anything we don’t like ourselves. And we would never hide our bottles away as investments. They’re meant to be opened and enjoyed.”

It’s a mindset that resonates deeply with whisky lovers, too. Whether it’s whisky or rum, it’s all about the experience – the aroma, the flavor, and the story inside the glass. Not the price tag or resale value.

Romdeluxe shows how a passion for quality can grow into an internationally recognized brand – and proves that Danish craftsmanship and dedication can make waves in a global spirits industry.

At Whisky.dk, we love sharing stories like this – stories about people who follow flavor, not fashion.
So next time you pour yourself a dram, think of Romdeluxe and their journey:
🌍 Drink with curiosity.
🔥 Choose with passion.
🥃 And remember – it’s
