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.

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.
