Renegade Pearls- Études 2021
Be ready for olives in brine, cooked artichoke and raw sugarcane before anything sweet shows up — one taster joked it smelled like "someone spat in my glass." Give it air and a savory, truffle-and-salt agricole emerges, with light coconut, vanilla and oak from the cask. Young, raw and polarizing: people either find it fascinating or just can't get past the vegetal funk.
- Unique savory profile
- Olive and truffle
- Cane juice terroir

How does Renegade Pearls- Études 2021 taste?
Aggregated from 56 community reviews.
Savory, olive-brine agricole that splits the room Genuinely divisive. Many find the savory olive-brine nose and young, hot profile fascinating; others say the alcohol is poorly integrated and the vegetal funk is too much.

Review by Jazz
Delicious truffle aroma, quite bold! Evokes farm and distillery!
Review by Morgan Garet
Powerful truffle nose, followed by brine and a hint of iodine. The palate is much more gourmet, with vanilla and spices mixed with brine and truffle.
Review by Filip Lojín
Another great issue! I don't understand the low local rating at all. Gentle, fragrant, just great! For a few bucks!
Review by Christian Rudt
Nose caresses us with neat peppery spice paired with beautiful sugar cane sweetness On the palate a lot of coconut, neat oak, also much of the sugar cane Remains of the three in the finish the longest presentPreliminary conclusion. Far from perfection, the three rums are what they are. Studies, intermediate results. It is worthwhile to stay tuned and follow the distillery in its development. Great that we can experience something like this nowadays.👍
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Very greenish in the smell. Vegetal. Young. Sugarcane juice. Agricole. In taste salty/brine. Waxy mouthfeel. Velvet. Honey. Pretty cool stuff. Olives. I really like the whole micro provenance information on the label. We will hear from Renegade more in the future I reckon.
Review by Righrum
Pretty strange profile but really tasty, similar to some mhoba where despite being aged, the profile is close to an unaged rum at the nose, switching to more aged notes when drinking
Review by Martin Ekrt
A proper aroma makes me think of the wildness of Haitian rums or maybe Rivers. Sugar cane, olives, meaty saltiness, fruit. Taste-wise, it's riding a similar wave. On the finish, like the New Bacolet, the bitterness spoils my pleasure, but in this case it's milder.
Review by Buzz Stark
First full of cane and old vegetables, very green. After some breathing the nose is full of coocked artichoke. The oak is strong in the taste.
Review by Martin Švojgr
Renegade again, and again I taste shrimp. This just isn't working for me :-(
Review by MaxR
Intensive vegetable Noten: Gras, Olive, etwas Salz. Durch das Fass kommt noch etwas süße und Tannine dazu.
Review by Jonas
Similar poor alcohol integration, as the Bacolet. In itself, the nose is quite interesting and shows potential.
Review by robinho92
A rum that leaves no one indifferent. You either like it or you don't, but as soon as you smell it, you sense that something unusual is going on. I'm not a big fan, but it's a nice change from time to time.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4818 17.08.2024 Tasting with Mads from Romhatten. This is also a retaste that I didn't have time to add. Nose Medium intense, Agricole, light wood, faint roasted, fruits, spice, light coconut. Palate Oily, medium intense, agricole, light grass, fruits, light citrus, light coconut, spice, faint wood. Finish Medium to long, warm, light roasted wood, light citrus, faint olive, light coconut, vanilla.
Review by Casper Jensen
Dufter umiddelbart af tomatpure, men det skulle komme fra sukkerrørrene.
Review by Johannes
Most intense nose of the series, but on the palate alcohol too poorly integrated.
Review by Timo Groeger
The worst today. On the nose there is a very strong olive and, for me, fermented fruit. On the palate, also olive and lost fruits, very herbal and salty taste. Alcohol not well integrated.
Review by Sebas143
Unique distinct smell that i could recall even after a few hours. The taste is similar to the smell. Interesting rum to try due to the use of cane juice and the influence of the terroir. I think I would not sip it pure due to the unique taste. Would keep it as part of my rum library to let other people taste this unique rum. I would he interested what how it would taste if you mix it.
Review by Vincent D
Renegade is definitely not my thing. A lactic smell, of hyper powerful fermentation and not really pleasant. Very vegetal. A little bit of cane.impression confirmed in mouth with a rum that becomes almost sickening.I did not like it.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Smell very particular. A little chlorine, a little vinegar, a little fruit. If you let it stand a little it gets better. The taste is definitely better than the smell. Very fruity and mild. The chlorine vinegar note is too present for me, however.
Review by zabo
My first impression was as if someone had spit in my glass. Takes a lot of getting used to. The taste is better than it smells. Think he is just too young. A few years in a good barrel? Possibly what is good out of it. He has not convinced me now.
