This Haitian speciality

They are all individually made and therefore sizes in height and circumference may vary

Blended with brandy and Ferrand Cognac

it's a fairly young rom

with lingering heat that invites another sip

This release is highly regarded by enthusiasts for its balance of high-ester funk and the refined structure provided by over a decade of tropical aging

can grow to over 20 meters high

Goes really well with soft and hard cheeses

try it in cocktails where its herbal-citrus profile elevates classics like a martini or bloody mary

so it’s one per person — thank you for helping us share the love
