The Port-au-Prince distillery is one of the Caribbean’s last remaining distilleries and has been operating since 2018 in the Haitian capital. The project is a result of collaboration between the Barbancourt-Linge family (descendants of the famous Barbancourt rum dynasty) and La Maison & Velier. The fruit of this partnership is the rum Providence. The distillery’s first bottling is called First Drops, a white rum produced from cane syrup and fresh cane juice. The succulent Cristalline variety of sugar cane used is sourced from Michel Sajous in the north of Port-au-Prince. Distillation is completed in a steam-heated pot still.
NOSE:
Lively and refined aroma, starting off with notes of sugar cane, orange, and pear, before floral and spicy notes kick in.
PALATE:
Cane sugar and the juice of perfectly ripe William's pear flood the palate initially. Mid-palate is floral and fruity (apricot, mango) before sugar cane dominates a creamy (strawberry yoghurt) and mentholated end of the palate.
FINISH:
Long and silky, with still-warm cane sugar carrying over from the palate, before flavours of vanilla and slightly damp earth bring a softness to the very end of the palate.
