After the Renaissance from the White Alligator barrel was already a real positive surprise, today again followed up with two interesting bottlings, one stored in the Bas-Armagnac barrel, the other in the noble red (Botrytis grapes sweet wine) barrel, again with super long fermentation, so that it comes on the nose again to a real aroma fireworks. Interestingly, however, both are quite different from the aroma profile. In the Armagnac Cask I have more grapes, the noble red goes more in the direction of yogurt and it also somehow still has something between storage room and cheese plate, which I like but quite 😅 On the palate both with tobacco, vanilla. Here, too, the noble red scores a little more. Conclusion: again two extreme bottlings that are really fun. Makes you want to try more!
Had never tried a Renaissance from Taiwan and wanted to, and I didn't regret giving a go to this Noble Rot Ageing, in the nose of which I've not been surprised to find sugar notes. Nose is also fruity, with woody, chocolate and butter scents. More discretes, along with these I feel butter caramel, vanilla and some orange tones. Palate is also fruity with butter, chocolate, butter caramel and very light vanilla. I find it as delicious as the nose. Finish is long, with dry grape, wood, butter, butter caramel and very light vanilla and coffee notes. A very good rum !
07.01.2023 relaxing at home with a friend whilst enjoying some samples. Dark in colour. Nose Fresh, balanced, fruits, spice, light pineapple, banana, overripe, light roasted, faint wood. Palate Light wood, light spicy, faint roasted, fruit, light mango, faint caramel, clove, light orange, light herbs, anise, light banana. Finish Long, light spicy, light wood, light vegetal, light licorice, banana, light caramel.
Nose: Fermented strawberries, strawberry yogurt, vanilla, oak, caramel, grapes. Palate: The grape note with its acidity highlights the strawberry yogurt flavor very nicely here, and harmonizes very well with this main flavor. Very little sulfur comes on the palate, barely perceptible. The alcohol is noticeable but still balanced for me. Banana I no longer have here, but burnt caramel. Very tasty rum and not as artificial-chemical as Grand Arome from Savanna. Unfortunately, an extremely short finish. Let's see what the future brings, the substance of Renaissance Distille has enormous potential.
