WHISKY FLU

After diving into the raw expression of cane juice through Clairin, and then stepping into the worlds of Pearls and Strand 101 where terroir takes centre stage, the narrative moves now to Jamaica and Martinique. But not in the ways most people expect.

Discover the unique flavors of Renegade Études Single Farm Origin Pearls & Mhoba Strand 101 rum. This review explores how terroir shapes these exceptional agricole rums.

Often described as Haiti’s moonshine, Clairin, or kleren in Haitian Creole, means “clear” a reference to its bright, transparent appearance. But it’s more than just a look: it’s the raw, aromatic expression of the sugarcane varieties grown across Haiti. It is deeply tied to everyday life, ceremonies, and even Voodoo rituals. In many ways, Clairin is less a drink and more a living tradition.
