Located in Grenada, the Renegade Rum Distillery puts a focus on the microclimates of the island as well as the sugarcane varieties that are harvested there. Here, they used the Purple Tallboy variety from the Ball Pasture Field in the Lower Crater Lake South terroir area on Lake Antoine Farm. Fresh sugarcane juice was distilled using a pot still and the rum was bottled without aging and with no chill-filtering, coloring or sugar added. Available in the US as of August 2022. (SRP $65)

Vibrant cane nose with a lively freshness. A lot of low end on the palate, with a deep root-like character that at the same time has a vegetal brightness. Very grassy and almost chewy in mouthfeel. Tightly compact, peppery and surprisingly woody with a very long finish. This is a unique rum that in some ways reminds us of a mild Islay Scotch. A contemplative sipping rum.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
