Clairin Vieux Sajous 4 Y.O. Lustau Oloroso Sherry Cask Vol 56.7%

A Masterpiece of Haitian Tradition and Aging in Sherry Casks The Clairin Vieux Sajous 4 Y.O. Lustau Oloroso Sherry Cask is an extraordinary creation that redefines the art of artisanal rum, taking the centuries-old Haitian tradition to a new level of refinement.
This rum, aged in sherry casks, embodies the authenticity of Clairin, a distillate deeply rooted in Haitian culture, enriched by the influence of fine Spanish wines.

A Unique and Ancient Production Process:

• Distinctive Terroir: Produced in St. Michel de l’Attalaye, an area famous for high-quality Clairin, this rum uses Cristalline cane, an ancient and rare variety of sugar cane grown exclusively in Haiti and harvested by hand.
  This cane is grown according to traditional practices, without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers, ensuring a pure and authentic product.
• Spontaneous Fermentation and Artisanal Distillation: The fermentation process occurs naturally thanks to indigenous yeasts in the surrounding environment, preserving the distinctive character of the terroir.
  Distillation is carried out in small artisanal stills, heated using bagasse, the fibrous residue of sugar cane.
  This method not only reduces waste, but also concentrates flavors, giving Clairin a unique profile.
• Aging in Sherry Casks: One of the features that make this Clairin exceptional is its aging in Lustau Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks.
  These barrels, first filled on November 30, 2017 and left to mature until August 2021, impart extraordinary depth to the rum, with complex woody notes and rich flavors of dried fruits, spices and dark chocolate.
  The tropical climate of Port-Au-Prince accelerates and intensifies the maturation process, enriching the rum with concentrated aromas.

Monsieur Sajous’ Artisanal Touch:

The distillery is run by Monsieur Sajous, who personally built the still used for distillation, giving a unique, artisanal touch to each bottle of Clairin.
This small detail makes Clairin Vieux Sajous an authentic rum, inextricably linked to the Haitian land and culture.
In Haiti, Clairin is often sold in bulk, directly from distilleries or in local stores, where it is displayed with signs that read “Ici on vend du Clairin.”
The Clairin from St. Michel de l’Attalaye, known as Clairin St. Michel, has achieved a status similar to that of a grand cru, demonstrating the high quality of local production.

An Outstanding Taste Profile:

Every sip of Clairin Vieux Sajous 4 Y.O. is a complex and surprising experience.
