RENEGADE RUM Etudes New Bacolet Grenadan Rum Bottle (70cl) 55%abv - NO DISCOUNT (los)

Description

ÉTUDES celebrate the individuality of rum’s fundamental primary ingredient: sugar cane. Each highlights a single terroir of cane, individually harvested, milled, distilled, matured and bottled entirely on Grenada.

ÉTUDES bottlings offer fellow curious drinkers the opportunity to compare and contrast highly singular rums distilled from a diverse and distinct array of cane origins, varieties and provenances — ultimately the very building blocks of our Renegade Cane Rum.

"More rugged than nearby Old Bacolet, the natural amphitheatre of New Bacolet is a southerly-facing, steep-sided, sun-baked bowl with drought resistant cane on weathered upper slopes and lush growth on the deeper, rich colluvial soils below – a textbook exploration of terroir. For this rum we harvested the sucrose-rich variety we call Lacalome Red from the "Goat hill" field, which stands on the terroir known as Upper Combe.

New Bacolet is enclosed and sheltered by a forest at its north, and slopes down towards the south. Being based along a mountainside, steeper than most of our farms, the excavation of the land was the most difficult. Four terroirs were identified over 10 acres, and we initially planted the varieties of Yellow Lady and Lacalome Red."
