I can finally hold it in my hands. It's not easy and not cheap to get hold of a Renaissance. Individual bottles come via DK, UK and FR. Of course, it's better to buy it in Taiwan if you have the chance to be there. I just had that chance and even then you can't buy the rum anywhere. If you live in Taiwan, you can sign up to a list on fb and secure yourself a bottle. Friends of mine kindly did this for me and so I now have two bottles, one to share (already done ☺️) and one to enjoy... The distillery is experimenting with its excellent rum and various casks. This one was matured in a higher quality red wine cask - the second highest class in the Bordeaux classification - from the Médoc. The result is a multi-layered and intense rum... Nose: intense and powerful. Very fruity, sour-sweet, almost floral, with an interesting medicinal side note. I find lime with grapefruit, gooseberry with kiwi, redcurrant with passion fruit right at the forefront. Behind this is a cloud of lavender and lilac. The impression of ginger and maple syrup somehow goes well with this. There is also an artificial note with a strong, sweet nail polish. I really like it. 9.0 Palate: oha, the 66.7% is immediately noticeable. Very intense and strong, somewhat acrid. Salty and slightly bitter at first, before the sweet and sour fruitiness comes through again. Clearly passion fruit, kiwi and gooseberry with a little lemon zest, slightly fermented. Only after this can some red wine aroma penetrate. There is a clear similarity to some Savanna wines. Definitely meets my taste. 8,8 I was captivated by the small and fine Renaissance Distillery with its fantastic base spirit and great casks. And then this amazing label on the back with all the information you could wish for. Totally great!
Wow, richtig nice und fruchtig. Hätte ich jetzt nicht erwartet. Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden. Fruchtig (Johannisbeere/Pflaume) und Holz mit etwas süße, gefällt mir sehr gut. Sogar der Geruch im leeren Glas haut mich um, top. Vielen Dank für das sample
Wow, eine echte Überraschung! In der Nase eine spannende Mischung aus Stachelbeeren, Erdbeeren, (vergorene) Ester-Noten und tollem Holzeinfluss. In einem Blind-Tadting hätte ich vermutlich auf Savanna getippt. Am Gaumen ordentlich Power, ohne aber zu anstrengend zu sein. Auch am Gaumen kommen wieder die typischen Savanna Erdbeer-Mango-High-Ester-Assoziationen in den Sinn. Der Rotwein-Einfluss gefällt mir sehr gut. Erstklassiger Rum aus Taiwan. Danke Frank für das Sample! 🤩🥃
