"Tasted this interesting cane juice/Pot Still rum at Sweden Rumfest 2023. The Etudes is the second step in the Single Farm Origin development. The first step was totally unaged Pre Cask rum from different areas in Grenada. This is the distillate released 2021 as Pre Cask New Bacolet now aged for 18 months in first fill American Oak Casks and Premium French Oak Casks."

"Nice nose, reminds me of bourbon, a bit boring on the palate, alcohol not well integrated."

"Very different from the "Pearls". Less weird and maybe less exciting for some. Still very nice. More of a Spanish style ron combined with vegetal Agricole rhum. More American Oak in the base."

"Continuing with the studies with the new bacolet. Again, some apple but also a much clearer sweetness, especially neat raisin in the nose. Very powerful. On the palate initially also then it becomes somewhat bitter before in the finish again something sweet shines through.Overall but rather somewhat disappointing was the Pre-cask new bacolet but one of my favorites."
