RENEGADE - Pre Cask - Hope Pot Still - 50%
Renegade Rum Distillery is the latest project from the man behind the revival of Bruichladdich Single Malt whiskey from Islay and the Waterford Distillery based on the terroirs of Ireland: Mark Reynier . He chose Grenada because of its wide range of altitudes, microclimates and soils. In collaboration with CaneCo's agricultural partners, he was able to cultivate many varieties of sugar cane across the island on the different terroirs. Old and young, skilled or amateur, many Grenadians have learned new skills, mastered modern machinery, and turned parts of the island into high-quality sugarcane farms.
Hope Pre-cask is made from a variety called Cain (B77602) harvested on July 19, 2021 on the Mamo field at the Hope farm, on a rocky soil. The fermentation of the cane lasted 4 days and the distillation took place on July 22 and 23, 2021 in alembic. The rum was bottled at the end of February 2022 and 3,150 bottles were produced.
More information is available on the Renegade website in the "CaneCode" section with the code listed on the back of the bottle.
