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.
