More reviews. Hearing your thoughts on particular spirits and how to use them is valuable. Not only base spirits but also liqueurs and the fabulous sherry's. Get as nerdy as you want. We can take it.
Yes! I just recently got to try both Rivers and a couple Renegade expressions. It's really amazing the diversity of flavors you can get from just fermented distilled cane juice. One that really blew my mind was Clairin Pignon. I don't know if you've tried it, but it's VERY olive briney, which is something I've never experienced in a rum.
Another excellent video Leandro. The only thing I don't like about videos like this, it's when I hear about a product that I'm dying to try, and then find out I can't get it anywhere locally. But keep Em coming. Eventually I'll find them.
Yeah spirits being regional is a real bummer but the good news is that when it’s finally available by you or if you travel to a place you can get it you’ll know to pick it up! Cheers! Thanks for the support!
Just received Renegade pre-cask "'New Bacolet'' based on your excitement about this rum in some podcast that you were in. Really looking forward to tasting it. Please make more videos on spirits (pref rum). Compare them and inform how to use it. thanks for the great content :)
I'd love some tasting notes or just general comments if you've tried it by now. I can't get the ones in the video where I am, but New Bacolet is available here, so I'm curious.
@@alexandernordstrom1617 I tried it both straight and in Ti-punch. The smell reminds me of pear eaux de vie (I actually compared them both side by side). The flavor is pear dominant (70%) and with fresh vegetal grassiness (25%), with hints of some kind of tropical fruit (5%). It feels really clean overall and has a long finish. It's intense and loud like "Rum Fire". Definitely worth it. Hope it helps :)
Great review! The detail that they give with this rum via the "cane code" is fantastic! Knowing the details of the beverage is one of the things that I love about wine and whiskey. This is great!
Great reviews! I follow a few rum channels and they haven't discovered these yet. The Rivers Rum sounds the most interesting to me. Thanks for reviewing these!
Love this kind of very specialized video, both with the story behind the products as well as the detailed tasting notes. But the video is still a reasonable length, at the 10-15 minute mark. The only thing I would love in addition, would be some ideas on where this product could be used in a cocktail. Fx if it works particularly well in a daiquiry or other rum cocktail.
Awesome glad you like it. The cocktail recommendations etc would be on our other channel The Educated Barfly here’s a link to a cocktail we did with it: th-cam.com/video/YTiaAqrquPw/w-d-xo.html
Love learning about local spirit production. I have seen a bottle of Grenada rum pop up in a few of my local specialty stores recently, I think I need to add it to the collection!
Great video I would love to see a video on Bacoo Rum. They are a cane juice rum company from Dominican republic. They have a white rum, 5 year, 8 year and 12 year. The 12 year is amazing at 29.99
Btw, yes. This format is wonderful. Focussing on a single origin region and taste some of its local produce. Or focus on a single distillery and taste their line-up (e.g. whisky's and tastig 7-10-12-15 years aging and explaining the difference etc.). Anyway, I'll like it all as usual!
The island is pronounced "gre-NAY-de," a fact I only know because I'm old enough remember the US invasion of the island (but which I just confirmed on Wikipedia).
Delighted to see this kind of video. Even more delighted that it leads off with Grenadian cane juice rums. I had the River Antoine (a mid blowing introduction to terroir/cane juice) when I visited the island and even had a chance to walk around the distillery, though things were extremely distanced last May. Unfortunately, Colorado is so locked up by a couple of the large distributors, and so looked down upon by interesting and distinctive rum producers, that stuff like this never gets here. And having stuff like his shipped in? FUHGEDDABOUDID👿 Looking forward to more reviews (maybe some other cane juice rums, or Copali,which tells a great sustainability story). In my view, mixology is not necessary on this channel (you can always link to Educated Barfly videos).
Rum is definitely my favorite of all spirits and this is a great review on Rums from the lesser Antilles. Appleton estate 17 year Legend is coming out in June, will you be obtaining a bottle or two to review?
Stealing Leandro’s content isn’t cool dude. You should credit him. He puts in a lot of work to make his videos, reuploading them to take views for yourself is messed up.

Really cool video!
Love rum and rivers and you… sooo I’m going to up your Caribbean street cred: “greh-nay-dah”. What you’ve pronounced is in Spain.
More of this please. Love the tasting and educational aspects of this. Always looking for new things to try
Grenadians check in 🇬🇩
Love the spirit reviews. Looking forward to seeing more of them!
YES!!!!
Great interview on the RUMCAST about the renegade production
Notification people are here. r/rum users comment here to check in
More rum reviews please!
Awesome video Leandro. Really appreciated the deep dive into Grenada rum!!
I like your review videos. Also I wouldn’t mind seeing what to make with them to showcase the spirit. Thank you!
That would be on our other channel The Educated Barfly here’s a drink I did with one of these rums th-cam.com/video/YTiaAqrquPw/w-d-xo.html
Yes! More Freepour! Great to see a vid here again. ❤
More coming!

Love these types of videos. It's time for rum to have its moment!
The vegetal notes in the Rivers really shine in a classic daiquiri. All of the umami ester notes on the nose disappear.
Love in-depth reviews like this, really interesting 🤓more please 👍
Fantastic Review. I definitely want to see a few more of these.
Very interesting video. Will have to be on the lookout for these rums. Cheer!!
I appreciate the thoughtful reviews. Keep 'em coming!

You had me at rum. Great review, and thank you for turning me on to Renege a while back.
that dylan ettinger guy seems like has great taste in rum
Definitely like this format! Keep it up guys!
An excellent breakdown. Thanks gents!
How did I just stumble upon this channel? I can’t wait to see what else you guys do!
we're just getting started again! it's going to be a mix of things. But we've got lots of good stuff to binge on :)
Very interesting. I didn't know anything about rum from Grenada. I am now educated. I doubt I'll find those bottles in Pennsylvania though.

We have this at Peychauds in New Orleans if anyone is passing through.

Great video! You’ve convinced me to start saving for a bottle.

Great review have been int bourbon for a bit. Now starting to get into Rum. Keep up the great work
More videos like this please!!
Ooh you should really try out the rum from Phuket - Chalong Bay. Very vegetal, rather funky French-style rum that goes really well with Thai cuisine.
A dribble of clean water would likely transform your tasting experience.
I love these rums too 🎉
Rivers Antoine is wild. I can't the renegade, but I'd love to try it.
Loved this! Will def need to get my hands on one to try
Wonderful content as always!
More entries to the category of cane juice rather than molasses based fermentations is always good.
I like 👍🏽 more of these please ✌🏽

I just went to Bitters and Bottles to buy some Charanda. I guess I've got to go back now to buy some Grenadian rum.

I prefer whiskey and gin but this was a fun and informative video, thanks.
Hi ! Do you have an idea of cocktail to make with the rivers?
The island is pronounced "gre-NAY-de," a fact I only know because I'm old enough remember the US invasion of the island (but which I just confirmed on Wikipedia).

Looking forward to more reviews (maybe some other cane juice rums, or Copali,which tells a great sustainability story).
In my view, mixology is not necessary on this channel (you can always link to Educated Barfly videos).
We actually just published a piece on Copalli on our website here’s a link: www.theeducatedbarfly.com/copalli-rum/
This is great quality content. Thanks for putting in the effort. Is there any educational recourse you’d recommend to gain experience in rum sipping?
Love niche reviews like this!
Really great stuff.
I've heard great things about Rivers. I'll be seeking out a bottle
it's good stuff
Fermented sugar cane juice and local wood barrels. If it was made in Brazil, it would be Cachaca 🙂
Nice! Love this tasting video.
Rum is definitely my favorite of all spirits and this is a great review on Rums from the lesser Antilles.
Appleton estate 17 year Legend is coming out in June, will you be obtaining a bottle or two to review?
I’m working on it HARD!
@@freepour Sweet!!!
I'm hoping to find a bottle or two for my collection...
Lel... I realized only in the end that I am watching "FreePour" :D
LIKE I NEEDED MORE RUM TO ADD TO MY COLLPASING SHELF LEANDRO GOOD CALL THANKS
GrenAda .. long A sound.. respectfully
thank you
Feedin' tha' algorithm oh yeah!
👌🏻
Roooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
LOVE these rums from home, but man, the incorrect pronunciation made my eye twitch. 🤣😂🇬🇩
granada is in spain…grenada is in the west indies. they’re pronounced differently.
Was just going to say this! “Gruh nay dah”
Gre-nay-da, not gra- nah-da.
Please work on your pronunciation of Grenada
