Velier Providence Haitian Pure Single Rum 2019
Opinions land mostly warm but genuinely split on the Caroni cask. Some taste clear tar, menthol and rubber over the sugarcane; others can't find the cask at all and miss the wilder Haitian fruit. What most agree on: floral, vegetal, sugarcane and a surprising amount of banana for just three years. Give it 15-30 minutes in the glass — several tasters say it opens up a lot.
The community says- Floral sugarcane

How does Velier Providence Haitian Pure Single Rum 2019 taste?
Aggregated from 189 community reviews.
Floral, banana-heavy young Haitian with Caroni edge Well-liked young Haitian with floral sugarcane and a light Caroni-cask edge of tar and menthol. Divides drinkers: some find it thin, short and too herbal, others call it a lovely daily sipper.
Fans of grassy Haitian cane and light Caroni funk

This was the odd one out and also a huge surprise. Considering the price tag you get a lot for your money. I found out that it needed to rest for at least 15 minutes and at 30 minutes the flavours just come at you. Intense and fruity with nice spices and cane. I really like the floral note from nose to finish and even the empty glass was wonderful after a while. Loking forward to our S.B.S and Silver Seal tasting next week.

Surprising how much caroni influence here after only 3 years gets the upper hand over the Haiti rum! Beautiful thing! Great complexity. Slightly acidic fruity, plus some wood, burnt rubber, menthol and dark bitter chocolate and charcoal with burnt rosemary. Overall, however, it could still have a little more power to me and has a slightly too short finish. In particular, I find just under 100 € for a 3y young rum from Haiti (caroni barrel or not) a bit excessive...
Review by Jakob
Very drinkable. Pleasant sweetness of flambé fruits and cinnamon sugar, lots of floral notes, subtle spices, light medicinal notes, probably from the Caroni barrel. Really tasty and balanced, for an even higher rating it would still need more depth.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A Haitian rum with an atypical profile. We feel at first the woody and spicy aromas, then notes of candied fruits and sugar cane before a very long floral and vegetal salvo on medicinal and grassy notes. The influence of the Caroni cask is light but smoky aromas are also present. An original profile that goes in all directions. The palate concentrates once again the spicy, spicy and woody notes as well as the vegetal flavors of the sugar cane. We also discern notes of tobacco, coffee and nuts. The finish is quite long and reminds us of Caroni with its smoky, almost terpenic notes, as well as rubber. We also find the menthol which brings, with the sugar cane, a lot of freshness. Spices, herbs, wood and dried fruits finalize the aromatic bouquet.a nice first try for this young distillery, which takes advantage of the barrel especially on the finish. The quality / price ratio remains however questionable for a 3 years old rum.
Review by Galli33
WoW 🤤 I found this cool bottling in my fovorite bar in Wroclaw. A nice rum from Providence with a cool Caroni finish. In my opinion, both harmonizes excellently together and the Caroni barrel does not overtune the main character of the rum. I have to buy a bottle for myself.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
So I can not quite understand the hype. Me too little Clairin character, perhaps by the Caroni barrel. But if I would at least taste the barrel only at all somehow out ... Unfortunately, absolute Fehlanzeige.Bin probably yet a peasant palate. 🤣🙈 And stay with my honest Clairins from Casimir. 😋😉
Review by Giorgio Garotti
Aging for 3 years leaves on the one hand the fruity and vegetal note of the crystalline bleau cane and on the other takes a spicy and medicinal part derived from the caroni cask, which, however, does not give much aromaticity to the product!
Review by Leo Krüper
Has little to do with young wild Clairin. Rather like a very young Caroni without edges and corners.I like very well with longer storage is here certainly much more air to the top.In the 2nd tasting clearly immature and inconsistent. Devaluation to 80 points.
Review by Christian Rudt
Seems still a bit immature and I'm not sure if the Caroni barrel was the last word here. Potential is definitely there. I liked the first released white rum of this young distillery. Liked the floral nose and fruity hints here. With nice banana on the palate and an interesting mix on the finish. The barrel notes can be recognized make for me the rum but not better, here is certainly potential for more.
Review by BjörnNi 🥃
A young savage. I like it quite well.
Review by Rodolphe
I really have to stop the clairins and rums from Haiti aged at velier with the marketing that goes with it... (Caroni cask, Muller stills, etc.). It's not really a style I like but I like them white though. This one is vegetal and spicy, super spicy in the mouth even. Very little complexity. Glad I tasted it but it confirms that these are really bottles I won't buy.
Review by Jarek
Addendum: during the tasting, I found the influence of the Caroni cask still quite weak. But after a while, you can smell it very clearly in an empty glass.
Review by Thunderbird
With Clairin has for me not really what to do... I would rather locate it as a light entry towards Caroni, which I actually like. For me, the rum is somehow not coherent, too bad
Review by TheJackDrop
Whisky Live 2023, session dégustation rapide ! Top ! Super découverte et prix raisonnable. J’ai pu le re tester et vraiment c’est très cool comme produit je pense en acheter une d’ici peu ! Un profil assez vert mais qui change.

21-03-2025 - Rate 8.2 25-05-2024 - Rate 8.3 Tasted in an rhum agricole lineup. First time tasting other Haiti than Barbancourt. This was a instant favorit. Young, fresh and fruity with a hint of wood and Caroni. 01-04-2026 - Rate 8.2 09-05-2026 - Rate 8.2
Review by Agricoler
Very great round nose and nice taste. Very herbal and woody bitter finish. The Caroni influence is very subtle and makes the product very round. I really like it, as it makes for a good daily sipper that also scores with complexity.
Review by Johannes
I cannot taste Caroni here. I miss the typical fruity Haitian note. Perhaps the barrel has hidden the fruity tones.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
Thick and creamy mouthfeel, with notes of tobacco, burnt banana, flowers and warm spices.
Review by Timo Groeger
Ganz guter Rum. Hätte gedacht er hat mehr wie 52%, aber den kann man trotzdem ganz locker trinken. Schmecke da etwas Zuckerrohr raus, ansonsten kan ich diesen Rum nicht wirklich einschätzen, ist aber gut trinkbar.
Review by SaibotZtar
Fruity floral with a little leather and rubber. One clearly notices the young age. interesting drop that can still increase with time.
