Clairin Sonson 2023

Clairin Sonson is an agricole rum from Haiti, made in the village of Cabaret. It is produced from sugar cane grown on 25 hectares among banana and fruit trees. The cane is pressed, the juice reduced to syrup, fermented naturally with indigenous yeasts, and distilled by Stephan Kalil Saoud in a pot still heated by open flame. It is bottled without reduction. The nose is fresh and herbaceous, with cut grass, basil and lemongrass. The palate is direct with a fruity touch, fresh cane juice and subtle liquorice. The finish is pleasant and slightly spicy, with sweet pepper and ginger.
