Review by Léo Delek
A very mineral note with a hint of leather that reminds me of a1710 from Martinique.
Review by TheJackDrop
This is clearly a UFO. It's hard to rate this rum because it's clear that we're dealing with a study rather than a finished product, and at the same time it's intriguing. Solvents, brine, olive without hesitation, but also some fruit, smoke, a mineral side... an enigma!

Well... A difficult case here😬😬 Some guys love the rums from Renegade, but a lot of them don’t like them, because of the strange character.😆 I found this one relatively good, less mechanical workshop flavors, but more sugar cane and vegetal aromas.

Something special...
Review by X-Savior
This is aweful. Dumped it out as I could not finish it. Be careful, it will ruin your palette for the day. It has extremely strong smell and flavour that will overwhelm you.
Review by DangerSnert
Nasty Didn’t try mixed and couldn’t finish.
