RENEGADE 3 Year Old 2020 Habitation Velier, 55% ABV

Crafted from the varieties of sugar cane Lacalome Red and Yellow Lady, this Renegade small batch has aged in three different types of barrels: French oak (17%), ex-bourbon barrels (60%), and new American oak barrels (23%).

With an annual angel’s share of 8%, this version has acquired, in two years, an absolutely remarkable complexity and maturity of expression.

Overflowing with naturalness, its aromatic and gustatory palette also candidly reflects the youthful and exuberant character of its early days.

Key Information

Serving Suggestions
First things first, be comfortable, relaxed and free from distractions. Pour a healthy amount (15-25ml) into a nosing glass (e.g., glencairn) and let it sit for a while. We recommend a minute of resting in the glass for every year in the cask. Otherwise, let it settle down for 5-10 minutes at least.

Help yourself to a 'warm up dram' in the meantime - something simple to open up the palate. When ready, start nosing the spirit, followed by sipping it (noting how it arrives on your palate and its development), and finally the finish. Take your time to get to know the spirit, noting its expression, character, depth, complexity and flavours. These can all change with adding drops of water so play around to find different sides of the spirit and identity a personal sweet spot for yourself!

But always remember, the best way to drink it is the way you like it!
