{"title":"Saint Benevolence","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSaint Benevolence exists because a Miami real estate developer went to Haiti in 1979 with a Habitat for Humanity construction team and never really left. Calvin Babcock went on to co-found Living Hope Haiti in 2002 with Dr. Rev. Gueillant Dorcinvil — a Saint Michel native, third-generation sugarcane farmer and clairin producer with degrees in agronomy and a doctorate in divinity. In 2017, Calvin's son Chase convinced the reverend to bottle his family's rum, and the brand launched with a mission that isn't marketing garnish: 100% of profits fund Living Hope Haiti, Ti Kay, and Innovating Health International, supporting medical care, cancer screening, education, infrastructure, and over three million meals a year. The rums are worth buying on merit alone. The clairins come from the Dorcinvil Distillery in Saint Michel de l'Attalaye — a field blend of indigenous cane varieties, first-press juice and cane syrup fermented separately with native yeast for 8-10 days, then distilled in handmade 200-liter copper pot stills fueled by dried cane fiber, bottled at 100 proof. The range spans the unaged Rum Clairin, an aged version resting 18-22 months in new American oak, a Mango expression honoring Haiti's tradition of fruit infusion, and a 5 Year Caribbean blend from the Dominican Republic and Barbados.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBrowse our full Saint Benevolence collection with fast nationwide shipping delivered straight to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"saint-benevolence-5-years-old-american-oak-barrels-caribbean-rum","title":"Saint Benevolence 5 Years Old American Oak Barrels Caribbean Rum","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rum \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Haiti \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription: \u003c\/strong\u003eOur flagship rum, Saint Benevolence 5 Year is a blend of hand-selected Caribbean rum made from the highest quality sugarcane juice from the Dominican Republic and sugarcane molasses from Barbados.

Founded by Calvin Babcock and Reverend Dr. Gueillant Dorcinvil through their charity Living Hope Haiti, Saint Benevolence channels 100% of profits toward healthcare, education, and community development in Saint Michel de l'Attalaye — the same Haitian village renowned for producing some of the finest clairin in the country. The Mango Rum is distilled by master distiller Dr. Rev. Gueillant Dorcinvil at the Dorcinvil Distillery in Saint Michel de l'Attalaye, combining equal parts unaged clairin and bourbon barrel-aged clairin matured one year, finished with a mango infusion — multiple varieties including Madame Francis, a traditional Haitian variety — macerated in high-proof sugarcane distillate for 36 hours with lime zest and cinnamon added. The result is a beautifully intuitive gateway to the world of clairin. The nose delivers fresh mango, sugarcane, vanilla custard, and orange zest, while the palate evolves into dried mango and lime leaf with a long, textural finish of mango juice. Bottled at 42% ABV — equally at home in a Daiquiri, Ti' Punch, or Piña Colada. Buy a bottle. Help Haiti.
