    Buying one of these bottles the proceeds went to charity for the hard hit people of Haiti! The rum is really nice and the whiskey finish gives it a nice elegance!

    Really a stunner, this aged Vaval. The fierce unaged clairin is tamed by the whisky barrel, receiving a nice full layer of complexity with tropical fruits, especially ananas that goes well along with the aniseed and the sugarcane notes

    An incredible rum, very fruity and sweet. Very tasty and fresh.
