This rum is made with an old variety of sugar cane, called Cain, grown on the mamo field, which stands on a terroir known as Boulders, located on the island's south-east flank The terroir, characterised by its bright, iron-red clay, pyroclastic boulders and high water table, provides ideal conditions to keep the cane hydrated during the dry season. Each Renegade bottling comes from a single farm. Their rums are unaged, made with fresh, pure sugar cane juice as a primary ingredient. Natural in colour and texture, unsweetened and non-chill-filtered.
The distillery is located in Grenada, a small, mountainous island of volcanic origin, characterised by tropical moist forest vegetation, located about 90 miles north of Trinidad and Venezuela. Renegade Rum Distillery is an industry-changing project from the man behind the renaissance of Islay’s Bruichladdich single malt whisky and Ireland’s groundbreaking, terroir-driven Waterford Distillery. His vision is to produce the most profound rum the world has ever seen focused on the cane, terroir and provenance. Renegade Rums are modern masterpieces carefully designed to bring out the individuality of terroir, the purity of long fermentation and thoughtful distillation.
