To produce this rum, the sugar-rich "Lacalome Red" variety was harvested from the "colline aux chèvres" field, located in the "Haute Combe" area. New Bacolet is surrounded and protected by forest and faces south. The area stretches along a mountain slope, steeper than most farms. Four terroirs have been defined on 21 hectares, where the Yellow Lady and Lacalome Red varieties are grown. Renegade rums are made with sugar cane juice as a primary ingredient, they are natural in colour as in texture, unsweetened and un-chill-filtered.
The distillery is located in Grenada, a small, mountainous island of volcanic origin found about 90 miles north of Trinidad and Venezuela, where the central mountains are characterised by tropical moist forest vegetation. 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.
