Clairin 2020 Sonson 70cl 51.1°
This Clairin 2020 Sonson was made from sugar cane of the "Madame Meuze" variety, grown on 25 hectares not far from the small Haitian village of Cabaret.
It has the particularity of being fermented with natural yeasts then distilled in a pot still to be finally bottled without reduction.
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.
