The Renegade Etudes Pearls Rum is a unique, high-percentage single cask rum with a distinct terroir character, produced by Renegade Rum Distillery, a company known for its meticulous attention to detail. This 2020 release marks the first time that Renegade Distillery has made its Grenada Rum available in an aged version, with two special editions released in limited quantities. The New Bacolet and Renegade Etudes Pearls Rum are both crafted from a specific variety of sugarcane grown in a single plot of land, in this case, the Pearls location. Situated between mangroves and fields along the fertile coast, the Pearls farm benefits from the humidity and tropical, maritime climate, which significantly influences the sugarcane and the aging process.
Caribbean rum has a long-standing tradition, but hidden gems like this one are still to be found. Produced in small quantities, certain Caribbean rums have become increasingly rare, and Grenada rum is a prime example. This Renegade Etudes Pearls Rum is a testament to the distillery's recent international success, embodying the rich history and unique terroir of its origin.
The Renegade Etudes Pearls Rum offers a full-bodied, exotic experience that is both sweet and spicy in aroma and taste. Notes of toffee, oak, and cinnamon are complemented by a subtle fruity undertone. It finishes with a long-lasting, soft, and strong impression. Mark Reynier, owner of the Irish Waterford whisky distillery, applies the concept of terroir to rum production at the Renegade Rum Distillery in Grenada, West Indies. This expression uses sugarcane from the Pearls farm and has been aged in a combination of French oak, virgin American oak, and refill casks, creating notes of cinnamon, oak spice, and toffee.
This exceptional rum is made from the Yellow Lady sugarcane variety, harvested from a plot at the Pearls farm, located in a coastal plain in the south of the distillery. Distilled in pot stills and aged on the island of Grenada, it reveals intense distillate notes of great complexity, with nuances of finely caramelized toffee, vanilla, and chocolate, evolving towards increasingly mature profiles.
