Habitation Velier Distillery de Port au Prince Rum is part of our Rum collection. It comes from Habitation Velier Rum and is crafted in Haiti.
An aromatic spirit that's bottled at navy-strength 59% with a sky-high ester count of 289 grams per hectoliter of pure alcohol, making it one of the funkiest, most expressive rums you'll ever encounter from a country whose distilling traditions predate even Jamaica's legendary high-ester styles.
Habitation Velier Distillerie de Port-au-Prince is a rare expression of Haitian terroir.
It makes an exceptional base for tropical-style drinks where its vibrant agricole character can shine through.
Nose: Opens with an immediate burst of fresh-cut sugarcane and wet grass, like walking through a cane field after rain.
Palate: Enters lively at 59% ABV with a rich, oily texture that coats the mouth.
Finish: Long and surprisingly smooth despite the proof.
This unique Haitian rum undergoes a fascinating double-distillation process using Müller stills first, pure Cristalline cane juice is fermented for 10-12 days and distilled to 25-30% ABV in a small 380-liter still, then redistilled in a larger 1,500-liter Müller still with 4 trays to reach 72% ABV before tropical aging and bottling at 59% with a hefty 289 gr/hLPA ester content that delivers serious funky character.
