Renegade Pearls- Études 2021
Green olives and brine are the first thing that hits, not fruit or caramel — one taster even joked it smelled like someone had spat in the glass. This young Grenada agricole runs vegetal and salty, with sugarcane, truffle and cooked artichoke, then a little wood spice and coconut on the palate. Divisive by design; a couple of years' rest might round it out.
The community says- Truffle and brine
- Genuinely unusual
- Keep in mind: Rough alcohol integration

The look inside the bottle
How does Renegade Pearls- Études 2021 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Salty, vegetal young Grenada agricole Truly polarizing. Many find the nose fascinating — olive, brine, truffle — but call the young alcohol poorly integrated. A study bottle showing potential more than a finished rum.

Most helpful positive review
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.

Renegade again, and again I taste shrimp. This just isn't working for me :-(
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 Timo Groeger
The worst today. On the nose you get very strong olive and for me fermented fruits. On the palate also olive and lost fruits, very vegetal and tastes like salt. Alcohol not well integrated.
Review by Mentalo
The first sip was already borderline. Very alcoholic, vegetal, olive in brine and a bit of burnt plastic. It gets a bit better if it gets some time in the glass. But not significantly better.
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 Johannes
Most intense nose of the series, but on the palate alcohol too poorly integrated.
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 Pierangelo Pianta
Olive, salamoia, truffle, at times sulfurous. In the empty glass sweet wood aromas. Crazy drink, still needs to balance, great potential. Agricole Natural modern style.
Review by HenryL
Pickled, slightly salty olive on the nose. Somewhat sweet, most likely Kalamata olive. Some longer-lasting sugar cane. Behind these somewhat overpowering aromas, however, a pleasant spiciness also comes through: Vanilla, aniseed and cardamom. After a long time in the glass, the nose takes on something of English wine gums. Less intense in the mouth than expected, the aromas play better together here. Wood and brine are dominant, along with some fermented greens. The finish is mainly salty. Exciting rum but definitely not my preferred profile.
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 Henry Davies
My first Renegade rum. An experience, nose is forceful and unusual. Some elements of Clairin, but more raw olive, with a meaty undertone and some salt. The mouth is fairly well balanced and soft given ABV, more green olives and brine, some salty cured ham in the middle and a bit of warm spice on the exit. I’m a bit torn as interesting and trying to forge its own flavour but just not a complete rum as stands. Keen to try more in due course
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 Buddudharma
Apple, a little perfume, somewhat reminiscent of a Clairin, but without reaching its expressiveness. My favorite of the three Études bottlings.
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 MaxR
Intensive vegetal notes: grass, olive, a bit of salt. The barrel adds some sweetness and tannins.
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 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.
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 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 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 Sebastiaan Linssen
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 Casper Jensen
Smells immediately of tomato puree, but that should come from the sugarcane.
Review by Jazz
Delicious truffle aroma, quite bold! Evokes farm and distillery!
Review by F.L.O.
Brilliant on the nose, weak on the palate.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
This really reminded me of Paranubes, but worse. It is with a lot of these young disitilleries: somehow there seems to be always olive. A very intense nose, but the alcohol Integration ist just terrible.
