Processes are still ancestral and therefore very pure cane spirit is often produced. The Haiti component of this white spirit is made Agricole-style (with sugar cane juice rather than molasses). The Jamaican component is from the Trelawny Parish, where the fermentation was long and wild, producing a high-ester Rum with plenty of funk. All components were pot distilled. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003eIt’s incredibly aromatic, progressing through green olives, glue paste\/marzipan, some earthiness and over-ripe mango.

The Jamaican component (40%) is from the Trelawny Parish and fermentation was long and wild. The Rum was then distilled in copper double retort pot stills.
