Providence Dunder & Syrup Haitian Pure Single Rum (70cl, 56%)

A Haitian pure single rum from Distillerie de Port-au-Prince, made from sugar cane juice and syrup from the Cristalline variety. The cane comes from Saint-Michel de l'Attalaye, and the fermented mash is distilled twice in a water-bath heated still to about 73% before reduction to 56%. It is unaged and bottled at 0.7 litres. On the nose, guava and honey meet burnt sugar cane. The palate is creamy, with red fruit, thyme and smoked meat, and the finish brings almond and herbal notes.
