Rum Clairin Saint Benevolence
  • Unaged rum distilled in Saint Michel de l’Attalaye, Haiti, at third-generation-run Dorcinvil Distillery
  • Distilled from a combination of sugarcane juice and sugarcane syrup
  • Field blend of indigenous cane varieties hand harvested and crushed via mechanized press
  • The first-press juice is spontaneously fermented from native yeast for 5–7 days; a separate batch of first-press juice is boiled to make syrup and fermented with selected yeast
  • The fermented juice and syrup are distilled separately in a handmade copper pot still
  • An expressive nose of fruit leather, overripe apple, green olive, sweet corn, and flint transitions to a palate of roasted corn, key lime, guava skin, and tamarind
  • 50% ABV

This is a quintessential example of clairin, the heritage spirit of Haiti—which has no AOC but is typically distilled in small batches from local sugarcane varieties—that vibrantly speaks of terroir.
