Haiti
Haiti: terroir-driven clairin and premium rum from Haiti’s legendary distilleries
Discover the soul of Haiti rum—village-born clairin, cane‑juice ferments, and mountain‑to‑coast terroirs. Sun‑soaked fields and limestone‑rich soils create mineral, grassy, and floral profiles with a savory edge: olives, herbs, and overripe tropical fruit lifted by citrus and cane sweetness.
On RumX, 288 expressions have drawn 4,683 community reviews with a median 8.0/10. Fans praise Providence’s pot‑still purity, Vieux Sajous’ sherry‑kissed depth, and Papalin’s artful blends, while Barbancourt adds polished, oak‑led elegance. Whether you sip neat or shake a Daiquiri, Haiti offers character in every glass.

Flavour profile of Haiti
Most frequently mentioned flavors
RumX drinkers celebrate Haiti for vivid cane aromatics, olive‑brine funk, and expressive pot‑still textures. Unaged clairins shine in cocktails and for neat exploration, while cask‑aged releases (Oloroso, ex‑Caroni) split opinions—some love the added depth, others prefer raw clarity. Providence is viewed as promising and balanced; Papalin offers value as a blend; Barbancourt brings refined, oak‑matured ease. Overall sentiment: distinctive, adventurous, and a solid 8.0/10 median.
