    How does this rum taste?

    • Unique floral and herbal notes
    • Historical significance
    • Distinctive gin-like quality

    The Botanical Rhum from Boukman Distillery in Haiti is a distinctive spirit distilled from sugar cane juice using a column still, with an ABV of 45%. Known for its floral and herbal profile, it offers aromas of clove and cinnamon, with hints of medicinal notes. The rum's taste is rich with allspice, orange peel, and spice, providing a unique juxtaposition of flavors. While some find it reminiscent of gin, others appreciate its resemblance to spiced moonshine. It embodies a historical tribute to Dutty Boukman's revolutionary spirit. Despite its intriguing bouquet, several users find the price point too high and the alcohol integration somewhat lacking. Perfect for those seeking a flavorful twist on traditional rum with a historical backstory.

    "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."

    "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."

    "Mein Rum ist das nicht, aber ist okay. In Nase und Gaumen ziemlich floral und pflanzlich, aber nicht wirklich rund. Muss aber sagen, ich fand die Story von @Stefan Persson zu diesem Rum echt mega interessant. Und auch ist die automatische Übersetzung in dieser App 1000x besser als bei guugel :-)"
