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!

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.
