- RUM CLAIRIN COMMUNAL DESCRIPTION
- Clairin Communal is born from the union of four distillates from the island of Haiti, artisanally produced from pure sugar cane juice. This is the ancestral white rum agricole of the local population, discovered and promoted by the distribution company Velier within the project The Spirit of Haiti, which has developed this blend for those approaching this fascinating, wild and ancestral world for the first time. The discovery of ancient local production traditions and the desire to enhance the value of the many artisan distillers, whose work risks disappearing in the modern globalized world, has also led Slow Food to award this product the title of Slow Food Sentinel.
- This Clairin Rum is made from distillates from small local producers that Velier considers to be true artisan artists, coming from four different municipalities of Haiti: Barraderes, Cavaillon, Pignon and Saint Michel. All four distillates are born from an ancient and primitive production method: the sugar cane is grown in polycultures without the use of pesticides or chemicals; the harvesting and cutting are done manually with machetes; the fermentation of the juice is wild, that is, spontaneous, using only natural yeasts and the distillation is carried out with small discontinuous stills and direct fire, a legacy of French colonization.
- Communal Clairin maintains all the most typical characteristics of the traditional Haitian distillate but, being born from an assembly, it is particularly soft and delicate compared to other products of this type and is excellent for the preparation of particular cocktails and exotic long drinks. The aromas are unique and very typical, reminiscent of banana leaves and freshly chopped wild herbs, with light nuances of ripe exotic fruit and cane sugar. On the palate it is round, warm, enveloping and pleasant, with unmistakable wild and Caribbean tones.
