Renegade Rhum Blanc Pre-Cask Pearls
The olive is the surprise here — several tasters get green olive and even tapenade alongside fresh sugarcane, cut grass and light lime. It's an unaged white from Grenada that drinks like a clean agricole, vegetal and floral with a peppery bite. Most enjoy it, though a few note the 50% alcohol isn't fully tucked in. One member likened it to "a dirty Clairin with olive."

How does Renegade Rhum Blanc Pre-Cask Pearls taste?
Aggregated from 39 community reviews.
Vegetal white rum with an olive twist Well-liked white rum: fresh cane, grass and a distinctive olive streak. Most find it vegetal and interesting, though a few say the alcohol sits slightly rough and the finish fades fast.

Great white rum! Am curious how the matured bottlings will taste. Here is potential!

Tried with white Jagsttaler. The rum alone is but also mega, I love olives. Tasted again separately not so far from a dirty Clairin with olive. Alcohol not ideally integrated.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
05.08.2022 A nice afternoon with other rum geeks and an evening visiting a few bars. Notres Transparent in colour. Nose Fresh, fruity, apple, vegetal, light citrus, faint minerals. Palate Oily, round, warm, apple, fruity, light citrus, medium spicy, cinnamon, light herbs. Finish Medium long, fresh, oily, fruits, light citrus, medium spicy, light herbs.
Review by Timo Groeger
It's an Agricole as it is written in the book. Not really mine, but it's still delicious. This rum is predominantly herbal and floral. You can also detect grass and olive. Not a must-have, but nice to have it.
Review by Frank
The last of the 5 pre-casks.Nose: here again the fermented fruit and fruit esters but the honey sweetness more to the fore. Raspberry and juicy pear. More pleasing than the others. Palate: oha, kind of fruity but rather muted. A slight licorice note comes quickly with a slightly bitter root nuance. Slightly sweet with grassy sugar cane and the licorice on the finish.Very interesting how similar yet different they all are. A very nice result
Review by Thunderbird
I like with the New Bacolet best of this series! Pleasant to drink and how a fresh Agricole should be
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
The most complex of all!
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Very close to the New Bacolet in taste, a bit of the Old Bacolet in the nose. Best of both worlds. Same rating as the New Bacolet.
Review by Niko
Belle nouveauté de Grenade, la fraîcheur de la canne. Une réussite florale et fruitée.
Review by primus
„Etudes“ - wie der Name schon sagt ist man hier Teil einer Studie. Sicherlich interessant und eine Kategorie für sich, die Gemüsige Nase mit Oliven, Pfeffer und Floralen Noten kennt man in dieser Intensität nicht häufig. Im Geschmack macht der Rum weiter und ergänzt fruchtig, leider ist der Alkohol nicht gut eingebunden. Unterm Strich aber solide, kleinere Flaschen täten‘s aber auch und könnten den Rumliebhaber auch Teil einer Langzeitstudie werden lassen
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Le BottleKill su soir : Renegade Pre-Cask Pearls 1st release (50 %) Mark Reynier s’était installé à Grenade, dans les Caraïbes, au milieu des années 2010, avec l’objectif de reproduire le succès de ses distilleries de whiskies de terroir — Bruichladdich en Écosse (vendu à Rémy Cointreau) et Waterford en Irlande. Soutenu par des investisseurs, il a construit avec ses équipes une distillerie moderne sur l’ancienne colonie britannique et entrepris de relancer la culture de la canne à sucre. La gamme Renegade se voulait résolument axée sur le terroir, avec des rhums pur jus de canne, millésimés, souvent parcellaires et monovariétaux. Beaucoup a déjà été écrit sur Renegade ; résumons ici les points clés : Rhum à base de jus de canne issu du terroir. Contrôle total de la chaîne, de la graine à la bouteille. Plutôt que d’acheter une distillerie existante, Reynier a choisi d’en construire une de toutes pièces L’objectif est de trouver la combinaison idéale entre terroir, variété de canne, levure, distillation et type de fût. Un aspect particulièrement remarquable du projet est la transparence. Chaque bouteille comporte un « CaneCode » consultable en ligne qui permet d’accéder à une foule de détails sur la récolte, la fermentation et la distillation. Récolte de la canne : 2020 Pressage du jus : 2020 Fermentation : température contrôlée Distillation : alambic à double retors Mise en bouteille : 50 % pour 1 632 bouteilles Renegade décrit ainsi le terroir de la cuvée Pearls : « À deux pas au sud de la distillerie, un terroir intrigant entre mangrove et prairie humide, avec un banc de latérite volcanique riche en fer. La canne Yellow Lady pousse vigoureusement sur ce sol riche en argiles Woburn & Perseverance, avec un maintien élevé de l’eau. » Cette variété rare, très sucrée et exigeante en précipitations, donne des notes fruitées et complexes en nez et en bouche, avec une finale moyennement longue. Mais qu’en est-il dans le verre ? Nez : frais et végétal, notes de citron vert, touches fermentées/médicamenteuses, avec une finale d’olive. Bouche : épaisse, crémeuse, végétale, olive encore présente. Finale : courte et légèrement décevante sur le miel.
Review by ordogh
Interesting on the nose, fermented, fruity, vegetal. The taste is more rum-like, with sugarcane sweetness, vegetal notes. It has some interesting details, but far from harmony.
Review by Christian Rudt
This one is more balanced again and also seems more complex. In this short tasting it is enough for 2nd place. Am curious about the barrel aging of the different varieties. Remains exciting.
Review by ElReyTristan
Une explosion de Truffe blanche comme si on ouvrait un bocal contenant ce précieux met. Au deuxième nez on sent la canne à sucre fraîche agrémenter d’une forte odeur d’Huile d’Olive vierge. En bouche c’est piquant, poivre et / ou piment. C’est prenant et ça reste longtemps en bouche, toujours avec cette pâte d’Olive comme après un petit toast de Tapenade. Bon à très bon et surprenant.
