Terroir is the interaction of microclimate, soil and place – topography and aspect – and their influence on a plant. Each terroir, represented by a single parcel of land, a distinct growing environment, will influence the growth of a plant, its composition – and its ultimate flavour.
Renegade Rum Distillery
Located near Pearl, on the north-eastern side of the Windward island, Renegade Rum Distillery is both technologically advanced and environmentally sound. It’s designed to produce up to 1 million litres of spirit each year from fresh sugarcane juice – no molasses – and is one of the most significant new rum distilleries in the world.
Renegade Rum Distillery is an industry-changing project from Mark Reynier, the man behind the renaissance of Islay’s Bruichladdich single malt whisky and Ireland’s groundbreaking, terroir-driven Waterford Distillery. The journey has been over a decade in the making and it has not been without its struggles; some said Renegade was mad to even try. The destination? To produce the most profound rum the world has ever seen.

INFLUENCE OF ASPECT
TERROIR: PLACE, TOPOGRAPHY, ASPECT
Another key variable to terroir is place; which is to say, a farm’s topography, its orientation, its altitude and its aspect.
The place of a plant determines a number of factors. The influence of microclimate – the intensity of heat, the flow and pooling of rainwater. Even the availability of nutrients in the soil.
THE RENEGADE METHOD
For those who like to get a bit geeky
Renegade Rum Distillery’s started with a blank canvas and developed their own unique method. From seed to bottle, each stage is designed to optimise their terroir driven approach to make the most profound rum ever.
