The Yellow Lady variety is harvested from the "grapefruit" field in the Flats terroir, where the slight elevation and cool air enhance the moisture of the soil. Each sip reveals a layered flavour profile, rich and bold, inviting drinkers to explore the nuances of Grenada’s diverse cane origins and appreciate the artistry of artisanal rum production.
ABOUT THIS RUM
Renegade Rum Etudes Pearls Grenadan Rum, bottled at 55% ABV, is an intriguing and artisanal spirit that celebrates the individuality of rum's foundational ingredient: sugar cane. Each expression in the ÉTUDES collection highlights a single terroir, meticulously harvested, milled, distilled, matured, and bottled exclusively in Grenada.
The Pearls rum originates from a unique coastal terroir, located just south of the distillery, where a fascinating interplay occurs between mangrove and water meadow. At the heart of this setting lies a distinctive bank of iron-rich volcanic laterite, which creates an ideal environment for growing sugar cane. The vigorous growth of the cane thrives in this water-retentive soil, derived from the Woburn and Perseverance Clays, ensuring the highest quality of raw material for rum production.
For this particular rum, the elegant Yellow Lady cane variety was harvested from the "grapefruit" field, situated in the terroir known as Flats. The slight elevation relative to the coast benefits the cane, as the cool air that sweeps across the Pearls vineyard helps maintain the rich moisture of the water-retained soil. This unique growing environment is complemented by the towering palm trees surrounding the vineyards, creating a picturesque and fruitful landscape.
Each sip of Renegade Rum Etudes Pearls Grenadan Rum reveals a complex and layered flavour profile that reflects its origins. Expect rich, bold flavours with a distinctive character that showcases the depth of Grenada's diverse cane varieties. This rum not only offers an enjoyable tasting experience but also provides an opportunity for curious drinkers to explore the nuances of sugar cane in different terroirs, ultimately enhancing the appreciation of artisan rum craftsmanship.
