    How does this rum taste?

    • assez agréable quand on est pas fan de rhum arrangé
    • bien équilibré dans l’ensemble
    • très aromatique et herbal

    Boukman Botanical Rhum from Haiti splits opinions, leaning heavily into herbal, floral, and spiced notes—clove, cinnamon, and orange zest are called out often. "Intrigant, On dirait presque du gin" says TheJackDrop, while Aurélien Nicolas finds it "très aromatique et herbal... pas fan." Some highlight its medicinal edge and pronounced alcohol warmth, though a few enjoy the unique local spin on spiced clairin. Expect a bold and unusual tasting session with a rum that gets people talking.

    "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 :-)"
