“Tropical, fruity, spicy blend with punchy ABV; a Haitian delight.”

Papalin Haiti is a limited release rum produced in Haiti at the Multi Distilleries distillery and bottled by the independent bottler Velier. Distilled in 2018 from sugar cane juice using pot stills, this 4-year-old cask strength rum boasts an ABV of 53.1%.

“This is a very nice blend especially when looking at the price tag. I like the nose because it is there from oæe ing the bottle and only gets better whil rested in the glass. Well rounded and fruity with spices and a very nice floral bouquet. The palate is warm and takes off where the nose ends.”

“The taste is warm, velvety, of medium softness. Very intense, balanced taste of molasses and warm spices. The finish is pleasant, with a slow development and good persistence.”

“Great, complex Haiti blend! Goes in the direction of Casimir / Clairin. Great price-performance ratio!”

“Great, complex Clairin! Great, soft nose. The 4 years of tropical aging add a great creaminess. Pear and fresh sugar cane come through. Alcohol very well integrated. Very good!”

“The third and last of the Papalin series. Has a lot of Clarin.Nose: herbal-spicy, slightly woody and some fruit. First I got a mix of olive, pumpkin and saffron, with a slight vinegar impact. But next to that, honey sweetness and green apple. The whole but stirred in yogurt. In the back also a spicy licorice note. Interesting. 80Palate: herbal-spicy-sweet. Slightly bitter-salty at the start, clearly towards sesame, fennel and olive, maybe even artichoke. Then, however, slightly fruity with plum. But also seems creamy-bacony and toasted overall. A bit grassy at the back. Again, interesting. 80Haiti and its Clarins have a character all their own. This is captured very well here and clearly rounded off by the cross blend. Good introduction to this type of rum.”

“A well done blend... a blend with fruit and spices... however a bit thin on the palate! The alcohol is also not well integrated. This unfortunately results in a few points deduction”

“Vacation, we have been on the lakes with a Kajak, so a rum is fitting, but isn't it always? I am surprised by the flavours, expected mir esters and got quite the spice, malt and wood. There is some fruit, at the tip of my tongue, but it is short and the cask influence becomes dominant. Nice drink, but would not say it's typical for Haiti.”

“My palate is a little messed up from the cigar and the New Yarmouth that I had just before sampling this rum. I will sample it again with a fresh palate one of these days and will add my tasting notes then.”

“In der Nase unverkennbar Clairin. Pflanzlich mit dieser Joghurtnote die ich sonst nur von Hampden kenne. Toll, vielschichtig und trotzdem sehr rund. Am Gaumen dürfte der Alkohol für eine top Bewertung besser eingebunden sein. Insgesamt sehr gut gelungen, sehr solider Blend, mit dem man nichts verkehrt macht, sofern man auf Clairin steht. Man sollte sich aber bewusst manchen, das er im Vergleich zu ungelagerten oder nur kurz gelagerten Verwandten sehr glatt gebügelt rüberkommt.”
