Renegade Single Farm Origin Pre Cask Old Bacolet Grenada Rum 70 cl 50%

Mark Reynier, the man behind Bruichladdich and Waterford, built a distillery in Grenada with the same philosophy he's known for in the whisky world: terroir is everything.

Expert Description

Renegade Single Farm Origin Pre Cask Old Bacolet is a Grenada Rum, an unaged pot still rum distilled from fresh sugar cane juice from a single farm, Old Bacolet, harvested in 2020 and bottled at 50%.

Renegade Rum Distillery was founded by Mark Reynier, former owner of Bruichladdich and founder of Waterford Distillery, who brought his whisky philosophy of terroir to Grenada. The "Pre Cask" releases show the rum as it is straight from the still, without cask influence, to highlight how a single farm's soil, climate and location shape the flavour. Old Bacolet sits between two rivers on a clay-rich flood plain, a location that Renegade says has a huge influence on the finished distillate.

The result is a fresh, vegetal rum that shows the pure character of the sugar cane without wood's interference.
