Haiti is a former French colony, and Haitian rum is typically rhum agricole or French-style rum. Haiti has a population of approximately 10 million and is roughly the size of Jutland. Haiti borders the Dominican Republic and is located on the island of Hispaniola, east of Cuba.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"barbancourt-rhum-5-stars-8","title":"Barbancourt Rhum 5 Star 8 Year Old Rum","description":"\u003cp\u003eRhum Barbancourt 5 Stars 8 Year Old Haitian Rum is produced by the Barbancourt distillery, founded in 1862 by a French cognac farmer from Charente - Dupré Barbancourt. Dupré's descendants still run the distillery. The current director, Thierry, believes that the distillery is responsible for providing income for 20,000 poor Haitian citizens. So, even though Haitian rum is both high quality and very fairly priced, you can almost enjoy the rum for the added good conscience alone! Barbancourt rum is aged exclusively in French Limousin oak barrels, which have a slightly more open structure and therefore allow for better oxygenation of the rum. Barbancourt 5 Stars 8 Year Old Rum is characterized by a sweet aroma with notes of rubber, sweet orange, citrus, and apricot. Taste: soft and sweet, full-bodied, light apricot flavor, oily, slight bourbon\/rye character.

Vieux Sajous highlights the strength of a Clairin, aged for 5 years in 19 barrels that previously contained single malt whisky or rum. The interaction between the distillate and the cask has made this rum extremely complex, while retaining the aromatic freshness of the raw material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHaiti is considered the last frontier of rum, and the country's signature rum, \"Clairin\", embodies this. When Velier's CEO, Luca Gargano, first visited Haiti in 2012, he was surprised to find as many as 532 functioning distilleries on the island. In comparison, there are only 42 operating distilleries in the entire Caribbean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHaiti is full of primitive distilleries. These small productions are spread across the island and have not yet been affected by Western modernization. From that perspective, Haiti still seems 'pure'. The biodiversity is overwhelming, and each region on the island has its own unique production method, its own variety of sugarcane, and its own specific Clairin with distinctive aromas. Velier has selected and bottled Clairin that truly showcases this diversity, both in fermentation and distillation techniques and in the sugarcane varieties used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eClairin, or \"Kleren\" as it's called in Creole, is the rum of the poor. It stands as a living memory of the Caribbean production method from the late 1700s, a time when rum was an essential trade commodity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eVelier's Clairin is an example of the extraordinary diversity of Haitian products. To qualify for Velier's range, however, Clairin must meet some strict requirements. The sugarcane varieties must be local and not hybrid. Cultivation must be organic, without the use of chemicals. Sugarcane must be harvested by hand and transported using traditional methods. Fermentation must occur naturally, without the addition of industrial yeast, and last at least 120 hours. Distillation must take place in specific apparatuses, and the final product must be bottled and packaged in Haiti.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e59.52% – 70 cl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Velier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56529053778268,"sku":"3700597368435","price":999.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0985\/3911\/0748\/files\/VelierClairin2020VieuxSajous5arsrom.png?v=1788264489"},{"product_id":"velier-distillerie-de-port-au-prince-white-rum","title":"Velier Distillerie de Port Au Prince White Rum","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eVelier Distillerie de Port Au Prince White Rum is made exclusively from the cristalline sugarcane variety.
