Clairin is an incredibly distinct style of artisinal rum produced exlcusivley on the Island of Haiti. The country is home to an astounding 500-600 micro-distilleries, and hundreds of varieties of sugar cane, each producing a spirit with a personality all it's own.  It is deeply connected to the culture and agricultural practices of the country, with its production methods dating back to the colonial era. Clairin is distinct in flavor and production style, setting it apart from other types of rum like those from the Caribbean or Latin America.  Clairin is a raw, rustic rum made primarily from sugarcane. It’s often referred to as the “cousin” of rum, and while it is technically rum, it has its own unique identity. Clairin is known for its natural, earthy flavors, which often include fruity, herbal, floral, and vegetal notes. Produced using hand-harvested, hetitage cane, the grower/distillers cultivate their land using sustainable and organic methods.   It can be made from sugar cane juice (the base of Rhum Agricole), sugarcane syrup, or both.  The completely natural fermentation is slow, in some cases taking upwards of 120 hours.  It is then distilled discontinually on small copper or steel pot stills.  We are incredibly excited to offer spirit from these 3 phenomenal producers: Patrick St. Surin, Boss Meles Augustin & Dieugrand Marcellus.
