Haiti makes two very different cane spirits. Rhum Barbancourt is the polished one: double-distilled from cane juice in Port-au-Prince since 1862 and aged in French Limousin oak, with the 8 Year Réserve Spéciale and 15 Year Estate Réserve as the sipping benchmarks. Clairin is the raw one. It's made at hundreds of small village distilleries from wild cane and sugar syrup, fermented with wild yeast, and run through small pot stills, bottled unaged and usually at still strength. Velier's Clairin project put the best of them on the map: Sajous from Saint-Michel-de-l'Attalaye, Vaval from Cavaillon, Casimir from Barradères, and Le Rocher from Pignon, each tasting unmistakably of its own village. Chips Liquor carries all four, the Communal blend, the Ansyen cask-aged editions, plus Ak Zanj, Saint Benevolence, and Boukman. Clairin is the most intense cane spirit you can buy, and a splash in a Daiquiri or Ti' Punch changes the whole drink.
