The Velier Papalin Haiti LMDW Exclusive 4yo 53.1% is a limited-edition rum that embodies the rich and distinctive character of Haitian rums. Crafted by independent bottler Velier, this exquisite spirit is distilled from sugar cane juice using pot stills at the Multi Distilleries distillery in Haiti. Aged for four years, this rum was bottled in 2022 with a robust ABV of 53.1%. With only 4,842 bottles available, it is a rare treasure for rum enthusiasts.
This unique rum is a blend of various Clairins from 2017 (including Clairins Vaval, Sajous, Casimir, and Le Rocher) combined with sugarcane syrup rum from the Port-au-Prince distillery produced in 2018. The aging process involved a mixture of casks, such as ex-Caroni and Mount Gay rum, bourbon from Buffalo Trace, and even Cognac casks. This intricate aging process enhances the deep Haitian character of the rum.
Velier Papalin Haiti seamlessly combines the pot still rums from five different distilleries—Sajous, Vaval, Casimir, Distillerie de Port-au-Prince, and Le Rocher. This blend of 32 tropically-matured rums offers a complex and compelling profile. On the palate, you'll discover warm notes of sugarcane, grilled pineapple, tobacco, and aromatic spices.
Overall, Papalin Haiti delivers a memorable drinking experience, reminiscent of a fortified wine, fruit eau-de-vie, or even a single malt Scotch. The long aging process and careful blending culminate in a rum that brings a cargo hold full of olfactory and gustatory treasures. Its floral, woody, vanilla, and spicy notes, combined with a smooth texture, make it a delightful addition to any rum connoisseur’s collection.
