It is also relevant for vines, barley, or sugar cane. Granada being a volcanic island, we find juxtapositions positively Burgundian, pyroclastic flows, veins of laterite rich in iron, with superpositions of erosion and colluvial and alluvial deposits. A positive playground where each farm of 10 to 15 hectares can be subdivided into several easily definable terroirs \u2013 the Chablis hillside of the Dunfermline Grand Cru; the slopes of the Antoine Volcano; the \u201cCombe Br l e\u201d of New Bacolet; the 5-degree temperature shift in 15 kilometres, the evaporation of Point; the rich and fertile floodplain of Hope. The possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><br\/>-Can you detail the importance of the terroir in the taste and subtlety of these five new single farm origin<em>pre-casks<\/em>? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>We put on the market two Dunfermline \u2013 the same field, the same soil and the same farm \u2013 but one distilled in column (in batch mode) and the other in pot; this gives a fascinating comparison. I like the <em>\u201cCompare &amp; Contrast<\/em>\u201d, exploring the nuances of natural flavor side by side. I like discussions and debates, which is why we have tried to share this exploration philosophy by bottling intriguing permutations, such as Upper (New) and Lower (Old) Bacolet; or more recently, from Antoine volcanoes, the upper and lower slopes that give a fascinating tasting: cigar boxes made of cedar wood! The Nursery and Westerhall \u2013are no more than 300 metres away, but you\u2019d never guess! Fascinating differences and this just in the new spirits. Could you imagine after several years of maturation\u2026?<strong>&#8211; <br\/><br\/>Let\u2019s talk cocktails \u2013 what do you think is the best way to enjoy Renegade rum?<br\/><\/strong> The <em>Pre-Scasks<\/em> (note, not Agricole or Clarin etc.) are rums that, guess what? are destined to be laid in cask, but which have not yet been. It is a new alcohol or a white rum \u2013 an imaginative term \u2013 before the aromas were altered by maturation in oak barrels. But above all, these rums are distilled in vats, which gives more weight to the alcohol, more power and flavor compared to the more usual white rums; a little is enough. I find citrus and fruit blends particularly well, or one of my favorites is the simplicity of <em>Renegade \u2013 tarragon and tonic.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.icon-icon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/&#xA9;GeraldineMartens-_DSC6900-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75355\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 Geraldine martens<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>-The bottle design of these five new single farm origin <em>pre-casks<\/em> follows the Renegade graphic paw \u2013 why did these pop and pastel colors interest you? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>They are simply the color scheme of Grenada. Go around the island and you will see that. We wanted something that reflected the spirit joy of the Grenadians, but also a strong message: novelty, living and unusual. <strong>&#8211;<br\/><br\/>Do you have in mind a passage from a literary work or a film that resonates with philosophy, with the panache of Renegade rum?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<p>A trilogy, perhaps, with The Chocolate Factory by Willy Wonka, <em>Our Man in Havana<\/em> by Graham Greene, and Jean de Florette by Marcel Pagnol. It is interesting to see on YouTube <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=28RbzPi1fmQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Island in the Sun<\/a><\/em>, a nice and skillfully observed story with James Mason, Joan Collins, and Harry Belafonte, which shows Grenada in 1955 and addresses many sensitive issues of the colonial era.<strong><br\/><br\/>-As you\u2019re opening new doors in this universe, where do you see the rum industry in the next 10 years? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Well, it\u2019s been static for a long time. Einstein\u2019s definition of madness \u2013 repeating the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome \u2013 could also apply to the rum industry. We have changed the game by introducing a whole new direction, rigor and integrity. I see more distillery brands, more cane rums, a divergence between the philosophies of molasses rum and cane rum, a fork in the market between cheap and playful rum on the one hand and premium and convincing rum on the other. Finally, I think we\u2019re going to see a much-needed evolution, a move towards greater credibility, but there\u2019s still a long way to go.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.icon-icon.com\/categorie-produit\/vins-spiritueux-et-gastronomie\/spiritueux\/rhum\/rhum-blanc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Find renegade in the icon-icon rum selection<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-small-font-size\"><em>Interview by Sebastien Girard, President of Icon-Icon <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2016.
