"Good agricultural rum. Compared to its Haitian brethren this rum is less intense and therefore lends itself very well to blending. Very good to taste as well, but a bit below compared to the clairins.Delicate aromas of sugarcane and olives/vegetable."

"The Distillery situated in Port-au-Prince opened up in 2018. The founders is the Barbancourt-Linge family in collaboration La Maison & Velier. Providence “First Drops” is the first release of the distillery. It’s an unaged rum distilled from syrup and fresh cane juice from sugar cane that comes from the Clairin producer Michel Sajous."

"Vraiment agréable ce blanc très végétal. Canne bien présente. Un petit terreux. Les 57 sont très discrets. Regouté et première impression confirmée. C'est frais et très agréable."
