Renegade Etudes: New Bacelot Rum

Unashamedly applying the philosophy and methodology of the world’s greatest winemakers, combined with the authority and expertise of groundbreaking single malt distilleries, ÉTUDES celebrate the individuality of rum’s fundamental primary ingredient: sugar cane. Each highlights a single terroir of cane, individually harvested, milled, distilled, matured and bottled entirely on Grenada.

A south-facing, steep-sided, sun-baked bowl, the amphitheatre of New Bacolet is planted with drought-tolerant cane on the weathered upper slopes, whilst lush growth enjoys the deeper, rich colluvial soils below: a textbook exploration of terroir & more rugged than nearby Old Bacolet. 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.
