Dunder is the funky, fermented residue from previous distillations, which Providence deliberately blends into its rum to create a wild, unpolished intensity.
Expert Description
Providence Dunder & Syrup is a Haiti Rum, an unaged white rum distilled from sugar cane juice, sugar cane syrup and dunder on a copper pot still, bottled at 56%.
The combination of fresh sugar cane juice, concentrated sugar cane syrup and dunder, the fermented residue from previous distillations, gives the rum a complex, funky character far removed from more restrained, industrially made white rums. This Haitian style draws on the wild, ester-rich tradition more commonly associated with Jamaica, but with its own distinct, unpolished character.
The result is an intense, oily rum with a rich tropical fruit expression and a pronounced, lingering funk.
Tasting Notes

Overripe banana, fermenting pineapple and fresh-cut grass, with a hint of rubber.
Palate
Oily and full-bodied with papaya, mango and guava, followed by banana and green bell pepper.
Finish
Long and warming, with star anise, liquorice and a lingering, medicinal spice tone.
