Nursery (Pot Still)

The cane plant, rum’s primary raw ingredient, is the natural source of its flavour. Thus the land on which it grows & its microclimate determines its character. Therefore we choose to explore the terroirs of Grenada - one place, one farm, at a time: captured here as fresh, vibrant spirit before cask ageing.

The genesis of our pioneering project to propagate entirely clean & healthy heritage cane varieties began at our Nursery Farm. Nestled in La Calome Valley, with its almost terraced valley floor, it is made up of Hartman & Woburn clay loam soils & a profusion of volcanic boulders. For this rum we harvested the sucrose-rich variety we call Yellow Lady from Big Pumps Field, which stands on the terroir known as Upper La Calome.

The modern marvel that is the Renegade Rum distillery was designed precisely to extol this individuality, with extended temperature-controlled fermentation for intensity, & considered distillation for gravitas. We look to compare & contrast authentic flavours, terroir by terroir. It Is presented pre-cask: as unaged, fresh cane juice spirit.

All cane, real provenance, terroir-driven, considered distillation: rum au naturel.
