BOUKMAN RHUM
Date: 3.03.2021
It all began in 1791 at a secret ceremony, where Dutty Boukman swore an oath to liberty, sealed it with rum and sparked the revolution that freed Haïti. Two centuries later, Boukman honours Haïti’s rich tradition of clairin trempè – handcrafted spiced ‘rhum’.
Boukman Botanical Rhum is derived from two of Haiti’s best rhum terroirs, the rich canefields of Croix des Bouquets in the south and the northern cane fields around Cap Haïtien, scene of Dutty Boukman’s rebellion.
Boukman uses only the best rhum agricole, distilled from the fresh juice of sugar cane, and infuse it with botanicals and barks, many of them native to Haïti and foraged in the wild. The result is a dry, intense, and complex spirit with an elegant finish.
Tasting Note:
The palate presents a pleasingly plush body with subtle spicy flavours of black pepper and clove married with racing floraland botanical notes. Intense, complex and memorable.
Today, Boukman Rhum aims to help Haiti ‘get up, stand up’ and reinvests in programs to help the sugar cane communities live with dignity and fairness.From its inception, Boukman Rhum has been working in close partnership with Haiti Futur (www.haitifutur.org), a registered non-profit with branches in Haiti, the USA and France. A proportion of Boukman profits go directly to Haiti Futur, which is transforming education in Haiti with its digital classroom program.
