Clairin Casimir Barradères Haiti Rum, 70cl
Brand: Clairin | Category: Haitian Agricole Rum | ABV: 53.3% | Origin: Barradères, Haiti | Vol: 70cl

Intro/Heritage:
Clairin Casimir is the spirit of Barradères, wild, unfiltered, and unyieldingly authentic. Distilled by Faubert Casimir using heirloom sugarcane and fermented with native yeasts, this clairin is infused with a local twist: the addition of lemongrass, cinnamon, and ginger during fermentation. The result is a rum that’s alive with culture, earth, and an unapologetic sense of place.

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Herbaceous and vivid. Fresh cane juice, lime leaf, white pepper, and wild herbs swirl with floral smoke and a trace of ginger root.
Palate: Bold and expressive. Notes of lemongrass, tropical fruit, cane syrup, and crushed spice unfold over a textured, grassy core. It’s intense, yet natural, like the land it comes from.
Finish: Lingering and earthy. Dry herbs, citrus peel, and a touch of brine linger long after the last sip, clean, spirited, and unforgettable.

Production Details:
Made from the indigenous Cristalline cane, fermented in open-air vats with wild yeasts, and distilled in small pot stills using firewood. During fermentation, Casimir adds locally grown aromatics like cinnamon bark, lemongrass, and ginger, a traditional practice unique to the Barradères region. Bottled at natural strength with no additives, filtration, or compromise.

Perfect For:
Pour it on a warm evening with bare feet on the ground and nothing on the schedule. Ideal for sipping slowly, side by side with those who appreciate spirits that are alive with story and soul.

Expert Notes:
Clairin Casimir is often cited as the most aromatic and layered of the clairin lineup. Bartenders, rum experts, and collectors admire it for its balance of funk, freshness, and cultural fidelity. It’s Haitian heritage in high definition.
