Renegade Études Old Bacolet (Silk Cotton Tree) 2021
Sip this one neat and go in curious, not thirsty. It's a savory, offbeat cane-juice rum: olive brine, dry herbs, yeast and a little red-fruit lift, over some tropical wood. One taster nailed it as "a bit crazy, makes you smile." Others found it too olive-and-shrimp-savory to love. Not your typical rum, and it knows it.
The community says- Genuinely original
- Olive and herb notes
- Divisive savory profile

How does Renegade Études Old Bacolet (Silk Cotton Tree) 2021 taste?
Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Savory, briny, offbeat cane-juice oddity People are genuinely split. Fans call it wild and grinning-good; skeptics find the olive-brine, yeasty side just not their thing. Either way it's unusual, not smooth or sweet.

Review by Roberto Bessa Ferreira
Gas station smell + Clairin Sonson + olives + thyme 😅😋 is a bit weird, but still a great rum!
Review by Martin Ekrt
The smell is nothing like New Bacolet. It's kind of bland, a little dried fruit, a little saltiness. The palate is also more subtle and approachable. At the same time, it's not a memorable piece, which is a bit of a shame. I would take it as an aperitif, though.
Review by ChrisPro
Huge improvement on pre-cask old bacolet. Rounds out the taste without losing asucb on the nose. Well done
Review by Martin Švojgr
Renegade are not my favourite rums and here it is confirmed again. I can smell the sweetish taste of prawns, which just doesn't suit me with rum. But it's definitely more drinkable for me than the HV Renegade, where I'm not even able to finish a glass.
