Clairin Vaval
49.3% ABV
Clairin is a category of cane juice Rhum from Haiti. Produced similarly to the more well known Rhum Agricole of Martinique but not a part of the French AOC designation. They are most commonly produced by small farmer distillers in the countryside of Haiti rather than at more formal commercial distilleries.
Clairin Vaval is produced by Fritz Vaval in the coastal village of Cavaillon in the southeast of Haiti. He cultivates a variety of cane called Madame Meuze which Luca Gargano, found of Velier believes to be the finest varietal for Rhum production. It is fresh and sea-kissed with some sharp botanical notes.
Importer Notes:
Here, Fritz Vaval runs the Distillerie Arawaks which has been owned by his family since 1947.
Fritz owns 20 hectares of land planted with the Madame Meuze cane variety, cultivated naturally, without the use if chemical fertilisers or pesticides. Clairin Vaval is produced from pure sugar cane juice fermented naturally with wild yeasts and distilled on a small pot still that Fritz made himself, powered by the steam engine of an old locomotive.
Clairin Vaval tastes of its region, with aromatics of salty sea air, beach sand, and rich botanicals.
