- 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.
