Boukman Haiti Botanical Rum 70 cl 45%

Named after the voodoo priest who lit the spark for Haiti's fight for freedom in 1791, this rum combines fresh sugar cane juice with local bark and botanical herbs in a vivid, rustic style.

Expert Description

Boukman Haiti Botanical Rum is a Haiti Botanical Spirit Drink in "clairin trempé" style, infused with bark, citrus peel and botanical herbs, bottled at 45%.

The rum starts from clairin, Haiti's raw, unaged sugar cane distillate, which is then infused with bark, citrus peel and a range of local botanical herbs using the traditional "trempé" method. The name Boukman honours Dutty Boukman, the voodoo priest who led the ceremony that sparked the Haitian Revolution. The method gives the rum a rustic, spiced complexity far removed from the smoother style often found in Caribbean rum.

The result is an intense, spiced spirit drink with pronounced herbal and citrus notes and a long, dry finish.
