Clairin 2018 Sonson 70cl 53.2°
Clairin offers us a new cuvée called Sonson, it comes from the north of Port-au-Prince on the Island of Haiti. It is made from a variety of sugar cane called "Madame Meuze".
The originality of this rum lies in the use not of cane juice but of cane syrup, the distillation is carried out in an iron still.
There are beautiful vegetal notes as well as spices. It is bottled at 53.2°.
Clairin is an alcohol produced from sugar cane, these are unhybridized and untreated. It is in Haiti that the largest number of distilleries is concentrated, it has no less than 532 while the rest of the Caribbean has 49 distilleries.
The culture of the cane still follows ancestral traditions, the harvest is not mechanized and the transport is done with mules or oxen.
The fermented cane juice is distilled in stills heated over a naked flame and then bottled to the degree of out of the still.
Three cuvées particularly stand out in the production of Clairins, the Casimir produced by Faubert Casimir, the Sajous produced by Michel Sajous and finally the Vaval by Fritz Vaval.
These Clairins spirits illustrate the richness and diversity of Haitian production, they offer unusual and surprising aromas.
