Fresh, herbaceous and fruity, this is an unbelievably delicious Clairin
- North of Haiti's capital; Port-au-Prince, in the St. Michel de l'Attalaye region, is the Chelo distillery - built by Michel Sajous in the place his family has been since 1960
- The small distillery is located in the middle of the plantation and spans 30 hectares, which are planted with different varieties of organic sugar cane. Fresh, herbacious and fruity, this is Clairin at its finest.
- The nose is big - it jumps out at you as your face approaches the glass. Pungent herbs, damp leaves, mulchy fruit skins, a hint of petrol, Play-Doh, pickled gherkins and sweet raw sugar cane juice
- The palate is softer than the nose suggests, but still full on. Spicy cinnamon, tarragon, overripe bananas and squishy apples to start. Darker notes develop, with hints of liquorice and dark chocolate joined by even more green herbs
- The finish is medium-long and very clean, with sweet green apples and green herbs fading quickly to anise and a touch of cinnamon spice
- Type/Colour: Agricole
- Alcohol: 54%
- Bottle Size: 70cl
- Country: Haiti
