Clairin Casimir Haitian Rum Agricole

We are so excited to finally have these brilliant single producer clairin rums from Haiti! The trip to the village of Barradères, a paradise for all rum lovers, is an authentic adventure like the fifth episode of Indiana Jones! Barradères is only 15 miles from the town of Cavaillon, but it takes other three hours of rough dirt track with 4x4 climbing up the mountains, until arriving at a magnificent valley overlooking the Caribbean Sea.Faubert grows 50 hectares of Hawaii White and Hawaii Red Sugarcane, a variety similar to Otahiti cane originally from South East Asia. The cane is grown naturally in polyculture together with bananas, palm trees and limes. It is harvested by hand and transported to the distillery by mules. The juice ferments in 5 mango wood cuvees for seven days. Traditional additions of lemongrass, cinnamon, anise and sometimes ginger is added to the fermenting wash.

Clairin Casimir is instantly recognizable by its unique fragrance reminiscent of truffles. The oily, unctuous palate comes from extreme fermentation and extended distillation. Enjoy it alone or mixed in cocktails. It’s tropical, funky notes are perfect to pair with bold spicy ingredients like ginger, cinnamon or fresh pineapple juice.
