    A very mineral note with a hint of leather that reminds me of a1710 from Martinique.

    This is clearly a UFO. It's hard to rate this rum because it's clear that we're dealing with a study rather than a finished product, and at the same time it's intriguing. Solvents, brine, olive without hesitation, but also some fruit, smoke, a mineral side... an enigma!

    #5185 29.03.2025 Running through some samples at home. Nose Medium intense, light varnish, olive, light citrus, light coriander, spice. Palate Oily, light citrus, faint smoke, light polish, olive, faint salt, spice, light herbal. Finish Medium to long, oily, light citrus, faint mineral, spice, light herbal. Empty glass Polish, citrus, faint floral, olive.

    Well... A difficult case here😬😬 Some guys love the rums from Renegade, but a lot of them don’t like them, because of the strange character.😆 I found this one relatively good, less mechanical workshop flavors, but more sugar cane and vegetal aromas.
