BOW (91)

Serge Valentin (89)

Column distillation of a cane varietal called 'lodger' (nothing to do with David Bowie, I suppose). Colour: gold. Nose: interesting nose, on Crayolas and bags of pencil shavings. You'd almost believe we're back on the benches of the public school. Some vegetables stewed in honey sauce, perhaps eggplants? And then really a lot of roasted sesame oil, this time we're in Lebanon, almost. Doesn't rum make you travel? With water: rather more of those wood shavings, praline, pistachio nougat, small berry eau-de-vie (holly)… Mouth (neat): lovely tension, between pink grapefruits and blood oranges, with even a little salt. Not Himalaya salt, do not push us. With water: earthy citrus at the helm. Pure fresh-crushed canes, with a body that isn't very fat, not too sure Renegade also distilled some of this in pot stills, would be cool to compare. Finish: medium, with metallic touches that we always enjoy. Fruit peel, some softer oak spices, a feeling of fresh paint and putty, with those pink grapefruits in the aftertaste. Comments: malt enthusiasts often find rums that have been through column stills a bit thin, but that's far from the case here. This is another excellent Renegade, even though I tend to prefer the ex-pot still ones, but very barely in the case of Renegade. Yet old habits die hard.
