Renegade Rum Etude New Bacolet 700ml
Only
$98.99
Commercial Description:
More rugged than nearby Old Bacolet, the natural amphitheatre of New Bacolet is a southerly-facing, steep-sided, sun-baked bowl with drought resistant cane on weathered upper slopes and lush growth on the deeper, rich colluvial soils below – a textbook exploration of terroir. For this rum we harvested the sucrose-rich variety we call Lacalome Red from the "Goat hill" field, which stands on the terroir known as Upper Combe.
New Bacolet is enclosed and sheltered by a forest at its north, and slopes down towards the south. Being based along a mountainside, steeper than most of our farms, the excavation of the land was the most difficult. Four terroirs were identified over 10 acres, and we initially planted the varieties of Yellow Lady and Lacalome Red.
Nose: A bountiful cornucopia of fruits both fresh and dried leap joyously from the glass in the harmony of cane oak
Flavour: Stunningly deep, dried fruits – think dark raisins & prunes alongside luscious golden sultanas entwining with vibrant cane and the sweet spices of french & american oak
Finish: A long, silky-smooth fading away
55% ABV
