How does this rum taste?
The Pre-Cask Nursery (Upper La Calome) from Renegade Distillery in Grenada is a 50% ABV unaged rum distilled from sugarcane juice using a pot still. Users describe its aroma as a blend of dried fruit, apricots, and sugarcane with fruity and vegetal undertones. On the palate, it offers dominant sugarcane notes accompanied by hints of leather, fruity sweetness, and vegetal flavors. While some appreciate its bold vegetal and citrus profile, others find its leather and unusual vegetal taste overwhelming. This rum is preferred mixed or in cocktails, rather than as a sipper, due to its complex and somewhat polarizing character.

On of the Better unaged Renegades so far.
On The Rocks: Do not drink as a sipper. It is very unusual and rough around the edges. Mixed Pepsi Zero: Leather and Fresh Vegitation aroma (not pleasant). 3.5* as mixed, still the last rum I would want to have to drink. Be careful, it will ruin your palette for the day. It has extremely strong smell and flavour that will overwhelm you.
Excellent aromas of sugar cane, plants and fruit. Taste is also very good. Nicely sweet. Sugar cane, herbs, vegetal notes, citrus play the main role. I can't get my head around such a low rating. Damn drinkable white rum.
Nose: Faint lemon peel, brine, slight vegetal Palate: Medium mouthfeel, vegetal, lemon peel, brine Finish: Short finish, vegetal, lemon peel, brine Rating: 5/10 This is ok. Flavors are alright, but the finish is quite short and the breadth of flavor is narrow. Its decent rum, but not anything exciting or interesting. For the price, it should be bringing a bit more to the table for me.
