Distillerie Faubert Casimir, located in the village of Barradères in Haiti, is one of the most authentic representatives of traditional clairin production, working exclusively with hand-cut sugarcane of the Hawaii Blanche and Hawaii Rouge varieties, grown without chemicals. Fermentation occurs spontaneously using only wild ambient yeasts, while distillation in small copper pot stills preserves the full terroir-driven character of the spirit.

Clairin Casimir, their flagship product, is bottled in small batches at around 49-54% ABV, retaining its natural vegetal, earthy, and mineral profile. The aroma reveals fresh cane juice, lemongrass, herbal notes, and subtle citrus hints, while the palate carries olive-like, grassy, and spicy elements accented by ginger and a gentle bitterness.

Its texture is oily, powerful, and unrefined, entirely focused on the raw authenticity of Haitian tradition rather than the sweetness found in commercial rums. Distillerie Casimir remains dedicated to ancestral craftsmanship and a production style that fully reflects the local terroir.
