The Providence Dunder & Syrup is the second rum created by Distillerie Port-au-Prince, an exceptional collaboration between Luca Gargano, a Haitian family, and Gianni Capovilla. Distilled in 2021, this limited-edition rum features only 1533 bottles and boasts an ABV of 56%, available in a 700ml size. The rum is uniquely crafted using sugar cane syrup and "vinasse" or "dunder" from previous distillations, with the sugar cane sourced from Michel Sajous's fields.
The meticulous fermentation process incorporates specially selected yeasts and dunder from past distillations, cultivating an unparalleled aromatic complexity. The must obtained after fermentation undergoes a two-stage distillation process in a still heated by hot water, producing a distillate at approximately 73% ABV, which is then carefully reduced to 56% for bottling.
The addition of dunder, a byproduct of distillation, enriches the rum with depth and flavor. The resulting aromas of guava, honey, and burnt sugar cane are intricately complemented by notes of smoked meats, red fruit, thyme, almond, and garden herbs. The distillery's commitment to producing the most natural rums possible is evident; they utilize dunder from naturally fermented fresh cane juice to aid the fermentation process of the syrup, resulting in a completely natural rum with a distinct character.
Distillerie Port-au-Prince continues to explore the numerous facets of rum production, and with the Dunder & Syrup expression, they have created a unique rum that showcases the rich complexity of traditional methods.

Overall: Providence Haitian Rum Blanc "Dunder & Syrup" offers a unique and multifaceted rum experience, characterized by its funky fermentation, diverse flavors, and hints of Haitian authenticity.
The reviewers found Providence Dunder & Syrup to have a very expressive and funky aroma profile, with fruity notes like apple, lime, and coconut accompanied by vanilla and an interesting sake background. The taste is slightly acidic with citrus notes and well-integrated alcohol, although some found it less complex than the aroma. The rum was described as dirty, raw, and vegetal with a medium-length finish. Despite its slight industrial touch, it remains rich and intriguing, evolving throughout the tasting experience. This rum is enjoyable both neat and in cocktails, such as a daiquiri, and offers a rich intensity of flavors that keeps one's attention throughout the evening.
