“Zweite Verkostung: Meine erste Bewertung von 73 Punkten überraschte mich beim erneuten Verkosten, denn die Aromen von kandiertem Gummi, Früchten, Zuckerwasser und etwas Kräuter finde ich eigentlich ganz gelungen. Im Nachgang wird mir aber schnell klar, was mich gestört hat: der "künstliche Erdbeerjoghurt" Abgang.”

“This is my first ever rum from grenada! And this one is really special… I found some strange notes like medicinal, plastic, rubber, phenol, petrol reminds me on a Savanna HERR/Lontan, but it‘s also a bit on the dirty side (i wouldn‘t say caroni like). Those notes are overwhelmig all the other notes like wood, oak, herbal, floral, sugarcane, a bit fruity (citrus?!). All in all it‘s a special one, for sure, but a good one. The alcohol is integrated well and fits in perfect. I‘m still undecided, if I should order a bottle or not… 🤔😬”

“The Renegade makes a totally unfinished impression on me with lots of artificial and chemical aromas. I've never tasted it like this before. There's also an unpleasant sour fruit note. That's not my taste profile and we're definitely not going to be friends”

“I don't have the Renegade comparison rums, but this one reminds me of the 2017 Clairin Ansyen Sajous on the nose, with the root vegetable notes, plus balsamic vinegar, lemongrass and something slightly sweet and candied. Roasty and spicy on the palate, nutty, rather dry on the finish. Interesting rum!”

“I had my first Renegade (unaged) at the Village at a tasting with Jürgen Wiese. And I didn't like it at all. Even though it is well aged, it still reminds me of baby vomit and children's stinky feet. I just don't warm to this profile. Nice to know that there is such a thing, but definitely not my world. Maybe in a daiquiri or TiPunch whatever, but definitely not for me on its own.”

“Der erste Schluck war eine absolute Katastrophe. Extreme Plastiknote die alles andere komplett überlagert hat. Nach langer Standzeit ist die Note fast verschunden und es kam eine intensive und aber teils auch künstliche Himbeernote durch . Dazu etwas medizinisches. Hat mich gar nicht überzeugt, aber trotzdem gespannt was da noch kommt.”

“I am always intrigued by Renegades releases. This agricole is an interesting mix of 2 sugarcanes, and it is certainly expressed in the nose; floral fullness and some fruity and sweet hints, and in the notes it is spicy, mentol-like and sweet with hints of chocolate”

“A most surprising rum that must have aroused a great deal of curiosity at Whisky Live 2023. The profile is atypical, powerful and launched on a combo of rubber and plastic, with a background of burning petrol and medicinal touches that veer towards medical equipment or balsam. A light woody note, combined with herbal spices, intrude on the olfactory profile and add a little depth to this very zany profile. On the palate, it's a rum with a strong character that takes over the mouth. Heavy notes of fermentation, rubber and plastic return with medicinal, floral and herbaceous flavors. The sugarcane plays off the woodiness, spices (salt and pepper in particular) and a few fruity notes. It's an intense, original profile, where the integration of alcohol is quite good (the 55% reduction must have been judicious in this case). The finish, of decent length, returns to this phenolic and medicinal, woody, slightly fruity (citrus, dried fruit), grassy and floral panel. A surprising and intriguing profile, which has succeeded in surprising with its age and aromatic richness.”

“Notes taken at Rhum Fest 2024, Quick notes and a bit of a heavy palate, sorry :) What we have here is a UFO! signed Renegade, I'd like to say AS USUAL. Their rum really does have a secret sauce that can be disturbing, but I love it, it really stands out from the crowd. Rum: heavy, plastic, alcohol or petrol, herbaceous Finish: medicinal with a hint of hay and/or Anise? Totally crazy, maybe strange, but I liked it.”

“What the fuck ! I'm completely overwhelmed with plastic, something else and medical notes on my nose. But not negative, rather interesting. A little bit of Mr. Light. The first sip was really shit. The second was better and the third after 15 minutes was unexpectedly pleasant/good. A 7 for the time being! Correction after the 4th + 5th sip.... No, nothing clever.”

“Als Vergleich zum Velier dürfen als Referenz die Originalabfüllungen Pearls Etudes und Old Bacolet assistieren. Grundsätzlich hatte ich mich sehr auf die Velier-Ausgabe gefreut, da die Renegades dieses wilde, vergorene, ungestüme und brachiale Aromaprofil der Clairins aus Haiti ausweisen, das ich absolut spannend finde und so liebe. Leider kommt diese Abfüllung nicht an die Originalabfüllungen heran. Es fehlt an dem unverwechselbaren rohen Charakter, Nase und Gaumen wirken im Vergleich verhalten, ja gerade zu eingedämmt, dazu kommt eine leicht chemische und bittere Note. Sehr schade, ich hatte mir wesentlich mehr erhofft. Der aufgerufene Preis für einen dreijährigen ist auch mehr als sportlich. Dann lieber jederzeit eine der oben genannten Flaschen, diese bieten neben dem halben Preis zum Velier auch eine viel bessere Qualität und den gewünschten „Wow“-Effekt.”

“The scent reminds me strongly of Velier filling Haiti. A strange mixture of fruit, flowers, salty meat, etc. I can do that. There's a hint of Haiti in the taste, but it's more like Galion. Definitely interesting, but a lot of it is brought down by a rather unpleasant sharpness.”
