Renegade Nursery Upper Pot

Review by: The Auditor

Review #1128; Rum #447

This bottle from Renegade is fresh pressed cane juice, the cane being B89447 or “Yellow Lady” as it is called on the island. This rum was pressed, fermented, and distilled on a pot still before being bottled at 50% with no additives. The Cane Code for this bottling is PC01H21-P1.

Distillery: Renegade

Bottler: Renegade

Region: Grenada

Still: Pot Still

ABV: 50%

Nose: Faint lemon peel, brine, slight vegetal

Palate:  Medium mouthfeel, vegetal, lemon peel, brine

Finish: Short finish, vegetal, lemon peel, brine

Conclusion: This is ok. Flavors are alright, but the finish is quite short and the breadth of flavor is narrow. Its decent rum, but not anything exciting or interesting. For the price, it should be bringing a bit more to the table for me.

Final Score: 82

Scoring Legend:

  • 95-100: As good as it gets. Jaw-dropping, eye-widening, unforgettable whisky.
  • 90-94: Sublime, a personal favorite in its category.
  • 85-89: Excellent, a standout dram.
  • 80-84: Quite good. Quality stuff.
  • 75-79: Decent whisky worth tasting.
  • 70-74: Meh. It’s definitely drinkable, but it can do better.
  • 60-69: Not so good. I might not turn down a glass if I needed a drink.
  • 50-59: Save it for mixing.
  • 0-49: Blech.

I have drank my fair amount of single malt but got started writing reviews about Single Malt and Bourbon in 2018. Over 1000 total reviews later and I focus mainly on Sugar Cane Spirits now. However, single malt is a still a spirits category I enjoy greatly as is Agave and Brandy. I wouldn’t go as far as to call myself an expert but I am the resident Rum obsessed writer for Malt Runners.
