Clairin, The Spirit of Haiti

Haiti

Haiti is the last frontier of rhum agricole and Clairin are those rhums born and raised in this fantastic island (not by chance clairin means agricultural rhum in the local language). In 1804 the Haitian people were the only one to rebel against slavery and the whole island received a red card from the western world. Here, thanks to this, there is a wonderfully pure landscape: original varieties of cane, non-hybridised, no chemistry in agriculture, spontaneous fermentations without selected yeasts, archaic distillations and no filtration.

All this leads to unexplored and surprising aromas, for those that are considered the only natural rhums in the world and therefore recognized under the Triple A protocol, by the importing company Velier.
