Where its sister release Old Bacolet sources its cane from the historic field of the same name, this bottle comes from the neighbouring New Bacolet, a different soil and a different flavour.
Expert Description
Renegade Single Farm Origin Pre Cask New Bacolet is a Grenada Rum, an unaged pot still rum distilled from fresh sugar cane juice from a single field, New Bacolet, bottled at 50%.
As with the house's other Pre Cask releases, the aim is to show how each individual field on Renegade's terroir map leaves a distinct mark on the finished distillate. New Bacolet sits close to Old Bacolet, but the soil conditions and microclimate differ, giving the rum a fresher, more floral profile than its sister from the clay-rich flood plain.
The result is a clean, delicate rum with notes of ripe stone fruit and a light salty undertone, more reminiscent of a quality white wine than a traditional rum.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Fresh and floral with apricot, peach and daisies, plus sweet, tart cherries.
Palate
Balanced between light salinity and a bitter, olive-like aromatic profile.

Medium length with cherries, a hint of vanilla and citrus fruit.

Did You Know?
New Bacolet and Old Bacolet lie side by side in Grenada, but Renegade's philosophy of terroir means that even neighbouring fields can produce markedly different rums, depending on soil, drainage and local microclimate.
