𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗟𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗜𝗥𝗜𝗡 | What is Clairin? 🇭🇹 Haiti is the last frontier of rum and Clairins are the rums of Haiti. Haitian distilleries are almost always in the middle of sugar cane fields, growing in polyculture with mango and 🍌 banana trees and other local vegetation. 🗺️ In exploring the island, Luca Gargano was shocked to find the unthinkable: while in all the 🇧🇶 Caribbean combined there are only 50 operating distilleries, in Haiti alone, there are over 500! 👨‍🌾 Generations of rural distillers, producing spirits on homemade stills, have developed distinct rhums totally unlike sugar cane spirits from elsewhere in the Caribbean. 🤩 In fact, when Luca first tried Clairin, an insight struck him: “Clairin and mezcal are among the only spirits in the world still made in a completely natural way,” he says. “Clairin tastes not just of Haiti but of the particular village and plot and cane it’s made from. It’s an extraordinary thing.” 💌 Clairin is definitely a product true to its terroir, and each of the five single estate co-bottlings in the range are a celebration of the producers and the country of Haiti. 🕰️ Clairins are wonderfully pure, using distillation and production methods of a time long past; crafted using heritage, non-hybrid varieties of sugar cane, grown through chemical-free agriculture before undergoing spontaneous fermentation with 🌾 wild yeast.
