First sip and you'll wonder if someone poured you gin by mistake — this Haitian clairin is soaked with wild botanicals, so it's all clove, floral, orange peel and a medicinal herbal edge. One taster called it a "middle ground" between whiskey and gin. Earthy, fresh, not sweet, and the 45% shows. Genuinely unusual rather than easy.
The community says- Unusual and fresh
- Floral, herbal character

What piece of **** is this. Nooooooo. No. No.
Review by Stefan Persson
This rum is made in the spirit of the revolutionary Dutty Boukman in mind. Boukman was transported to Haiti as a slave, but became a leader of the “Maroons” (independent societies of escaped and free black people) and a voodoo priest. In 1791, Boukman ignited the Haitian Revolution, swearing an oath to liberty that was toasted with rum. Boukman was soon killed by French colonist but, the movement he started eventually freed Haiti, and defeated Napoleon’s armies. Boukman produce their rum (or spirit drink) in the traditional Haitian way, similar to a local spiced moonshine. The Clairin base comes from two different distilleries.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Quite interesting but 70€ are absolutely not justified for a spiced clairin and in addition, the alcohol could be much better integrated. Since I prefer to buy 2 real clairins like Sajous or Rocher...

#4437 Whisky & Rom Festival 2023 28.10.2023 Notes. Not the world's best rum but probably a good mixer. Lightly fruity with herbal and medicinal notes. After resting a light floral note appears.
Review by Timo Groeger
It's not my rum, but it's okay. Quite floral and herbal on the nose and palate, but not really round. But I have to say, I found @Stefan Persson's story about this rum really interesting. And the automatic translation in this app is also 1000x better than on guugel :-)

Good, but nothing more... not really my favorite.
Review by Oli Go Elément
Very powerful in the mouth/ a little too expensive/ quality
Review by Aurélien Nicolas
very aromatic and herbal... not a fan
Review by Anthony
It's not my favorite, but it's a good rum, very floral, very herbaceous, reminiscent of the Provence region, but very fresh and surprising!
Review by volcmar
Spiced agricola. Strong alcohol. Not sweet. Nice with cola
Review by Xianut Trezz
At a tasting at my wine shop, I thought: what is this! It's not ordinary. I buy!!!!! Coming back to it, it's not ordinary but to say it's good... a taste that makes me wonder... unique... But... the But really punctuates the tasting.
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
A bit too sweet, but quite pleasant when you're not a fan of spiced rum, more woody with cinnamon and orange peel, well balanced overall.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
S 6.7 out of 10 remains average compared to what I've tasted so far.
Review by Sylvain44
Too medicinal for my taste
Review by Michal Jurka
Another quite unique bottle from the outside and the inside. Very earthy and fresh and technical at the same time, herbals, grass, floral, spices, medicinal... I quite enjoyed it, another quite crazy Haiti.
