Renegade Rum Single Farm Cuvée Lake Antoine (70cl, 46%)

This cuvée brings together different growing sites on a single farm around the volcanic crater lake Lake Antoine in northern Grenada. Fresh sugar cane juice is used, with the cane varieties Cain, Lodger and Purple Tall Boy. The rum was distilled in September and October 2021 after fermentation of up to 96 hours, then matured tropically for 702 days in a mix of 50% new American oak, 40% first-fill American oak and 10% French oak. The matured rums from 25 casks were then blended, yielding 4,200 bottles at 46% in 2023, with no colouring, added sugar or chill filtration. The nose combines mild oak with fruity and floral notes and sweet vanilla; the palate is herbaceous and spicy, with butter caramel, toffee, sweet vanilla and citrus; the finish is long, soft and clear with a peppery spice.
