Saint Benevolence Rum Clairin 70cl 50%Vol

Description

The sugarcane for Saint Benevolence Rum Clairin is organically grown and farmed in the fields immediately surrounding the Dorcinvil Distillery, a third-generation family operation entrusted with the quality farming and production of Saint Benevolence Rum Clairin. The farmers employ natural agricultural practices free from herbicides, pesticides and other chemicals.
The cane is hand-harvested, pressed and fermented with wild yeasts for five to seven days, producing a lively vin de canne: a freshly fermented cane juice ripe with the expressive grassy notes of the local Saint Michel terroir.
In homage to Saint Michel, the town of this spirit’s provenance, a separate batch of the freshly-pressed sugarcane juice is reduced to a syrup and fermented in the local style known as the Methode Saint Michel.
The distillation process has changed little from the traditional French techniques employed throughout Haiti dating back to the 18th century. They now separately small-batch distill the high-quality sugarcane juice and syrup in a single run through a handmade Creole copper pot still.

TASTING NOTES:
Color: True to the Haitian word ‘kleren’ for clear, translucent crystal in the glass.
Nose: Green banana, wasabi, with earthy notes of smoke and wet gravel.
Palate: A rich texture with toasted white peppercorn, clove and green olive mignonette with an underlying sweetness on the finish.
