The Clairin Vaval Cavaillon is a unique rum crafted by Haiti's renowned Arawaks distillery and selected and bottled by Velier. Distilled in 2015 from pure sugar cane juice using a traditional pot still, this exceptional rum exhibits an ABV of 51.1%. Its complex nose features a medley of floral, vegetal, and sugarcane notes, interwoven with hints of olive, mineral, mature fruit, rubber, and pepper. On the palate, it starts with a brief sweetness that quickly transitions to a dry, mouth-coating experience. The alcohol presence is more pronounced than on the nose, with fresh citrus and organic aromas complementing the fresh cane flavors and a touch of acidity. This exquisite eau-de-vie is produced from the "Madame Meuze" cane grown on a 20-hectare plot in Cavaillon, located in the southern part of Haiti. Unlike conventional rhum agricole, Clairin Vaval ferments with natural yeasts found in the cane juice and air, lending it a distinct character. The rum is distilled in a copper still featuring a 10-plate column, resulting in a particularly fruity and fresh spirit with a unique maritime character. Clairin Vaval is celebrated for its exotically fruity and maritime profile, boasting a robust and satisfyingly complex flavor that often draws comparisons to fine Cachaça. This rum is especially appreciated by connoisseurs who savor a strong, flavorful spirit.
