A bold Haitian clairin from Le Rocher, pot distilled from cane syrup and bottled at 50%, an oily white rum of smoky meat, green olive and herbs over ripe fruit, original and savoury, fine value neat or in cocktails.
Description
Le Rocher is one of Velier's Haitian clairins, made the traditional village way with wild fermentation, here distilled on a pot still from sugar cane honey, the concentrated cane syrup, rather than fresh juice or molasses. That base and that ferment give it a wild, distinctive personality.
Bottled unaged at 50%, it is oily and savoury through and through. The nose runs to olive, meaty and funky notes over solvents, while the palate turns vegetal, grassy and smoky with a slick, oily texture. The finish carries herbs, olive, ripe fruit and a meaty echo. This is a bold, original white rum rather than a soft one, smoky and herbal where many clairins lean tropical. Honest and characterful, it offers genuine depth for the money and rewards both neat sipping and a place in a distinctive cocktail.
