Review #1407; Rum #706
This is a rum from Renaissance distillery which is located in Taiwan. This rum was distilled from molasses in 2019. It was fermented for 10 days with Dunder and double distilled on a Charentais Pot still. It aged for a time in ex-bourbon casks from Buffalo Trace (WLW) and then for a time in a first fill Champagne cask from France. Bottled at cask strength with no additives.

Another big win for me. These rums punch you in the mouth with flavor and I love them for that. Big bold fruits, but compared to other Renaissance I have had, this one does lean a little more delicate with some of the floral notes and minerality.
