Rum - What is it Good For?

Rum is seeing solid global growth and is predicted to be worth $16.08 billion USD by 2028, up from $11.77 billion in 2022. This is being driven by a renewed focus from the big spirits companies such as Diageo and Pernod Ricard. The former recently buying Don Papa Rum for £260m.

Where does rum come in to cask ownership?

With interest in rum also increasing with independent bottlers due to the huge array of flavours and interesting characteristics, there is demand for premium quality sugar cane rum. This is the liquid that is getting rum fans and bottlers excited, because the flavours are derived from the natural resource itself.

Buying a cask of rum is therefore a great way to diversify any portfolio for the future.

When purchasing in any market, it important to look at the quality credentials of the product you are buying. This even more important with a younger market like premium rum.

This is why Cask Trade teamed up with Renegade Rum, as the exclusive cask partners. We believe that getting in early with their award winning Grenadian pure sugar cane rum, offers the best chance in the marketplace to own premium rum cask with pedigree. 

Rare Grenadian Rum 

Renegade Rum is a complex and high quality Grenadian rum. With the US and French markets already showing a large interest, this limited first batch could go quickly.

They use sugar cane juice, not molasses, getting flavour from the natural ingredients. The cane also comes from their own farms, so they can be sure of quality and origin. 

An island with fertile volcanic soil, microclimates, and varying altitudes - Grenada is the perfect place for growing sugar cane.

From Scotland and Ireland to Grenada

With a background in the French wine industry, the importance of terroir has been a driving force in all of Reynier’s projects and Renegade Rum is no different.

Starting out on the west coast of Scotland, he bought the then -rundown Bruichladdich distillery and transformed its fortunes by using locally grown barley and much slower distillation techniques.

Encouraged by the success here, Reynier looked for the world’s highest quality barley and found that it grew near Waterford in Ireland. This was the inspiration behind - Waterford Distillery - another huge success.

Continuing this reputation on Grenada is an exciting prospect.
