An unaged white rum from Distillerie de Port-au-Prince in Haiti, bottled by Velier. First Drops combines two different starting materials from the same sugar cane variety: fresh juice and syrup from Cristalline sugar cane. After slow fermentation, the rum is distilled in a copper Müller still and bottled at 57% in a 0.7-litre bottle.
First Drops is the distillery's first edition and carries the addition Nov. 2019 on the label. Its character combines the plant-like and fruity facets of sugar cane with a surprisingly round, sweetish texture. The distillery was founded in 2018 and brought white rum distillation in batch stills back to Haiti; this first edition was made under Herbert Barbancourt Linge.
Tasting Notes
Sugar cane shapes the aroma, which opens up floral notes. With air, creamy chocolate notes join; the cane now seems candied while its plant-like and fruity facets remain.
The opening is round. Rustic cane sugar and molasses notes follow. The sweetness recalls candied marrons and meets green herbs, tall grass and spice.
Candied marrons and milk chocolate continue in the finish. A fine note of lime zest remains in the further aftertaste.
