For curious explorers into Haitian clairin-style rum, this unaged 57% cane-juice spirit is grassy, fruity and slightly funky. RumX members love it neat, in Ti’ Punch or Daiquiri, with great balance and freshness.

Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
Good agricultural rum. Compared to its Haitian brethren this rum is less intense and therefore lends itself very well to blending. Very good to taste as well, but a bit below compared to the clairins.Delicate aromas of sugarcane and olives/vegetable.
Review by Rado Vito
Slivowitz is as good as this rum. Great to try, but I wouldn’t buy a bottle
Review by Stefan Persson
The Distillery situated in Port-au-Prince opened up in 2018. The founders is the Barbancourt-Linge family in collaboration La Maison & Velier. Providence “First Drops” is the first release of the distillery. It’s an unaged rum distilled from syrup and fresh cane juice from sugar cane that comes from the Clairin producer Michel Sajous.

This is a great white from a relatively new destillery and they have done very well. This is in my mind a top shelf white rum that deserves the title as a great sipping rum which doesn't need to be put in a mixer. This is a must try in my mind.

Very good agricole 🤤Actually my favorite haitian rum, so far. Delicious, balanced and not so spicy. I see it more on the daily driver side 😜 Update: For me this makes by far the best Ti Punch 🤤🤤 yummy

Typical "Agricole-like" representative from Haiti.
Review by Vincent D
Really pleasant, this very vegetal white. Very present cane. A little earthy. The 57s are very discreet. Regouté and first impression confirmed. Fresh and very pleasant.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Le nez est assez prometteur car très fruité (sur les agrumes). Il est très frais et gourmand au nez, on y retrouve en arrière-plan des traces de saké ! C’est un profil aromatique très expressif-funky et propre à Haïti. L’attaque en bouche est légèrement acidulée avec des notes à nouveau sur les agrumes (mais plus sur le citron-citron vert). L’alcool est parfaitement intégré et il se déguste aisément. Peut-être même un peu trop facilement. On ne retrouve plus autant de folie en bouche qu’au nez. Il y a de la longueur mais pas assez gourmande et/ou expressives. C’est bon mais pas ouf.
Review by Godspeed
Unicorn in the world of white rums. And why? Because it makes both an excellent daiquiri and an excellent ti'punch. It's rare to see such a versatile bottle that can cross both worlds. Easily the best (and most sociable) Haitian white I've ever found. Most Haitian white rums have a rather peculiar taste (resulting from its wild fermentation) that requires from the drinker an appreciation and development of the palate for this style. Not this one, it will be appreciated by everyone if you introduce it at the table at your next party, it requires no apologies or explanations. Just an excellent white rum. Bravo to Providence (and Michel Sajous)!
Review by Cédric Meyers
Malgré qu'il soit assez agressif en bouche c'est un bon blanc qui m'a surpris par son nez et sa bouche assez différent de ce qu'on a en blanc d'habitude
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Tres bien mais assez classique au final, des notes végétales, sans une grosse exubérance.
Review by Christoph
Super funky nose in which sweet strawberry and olive pickled in vinegar can be found. Also found in the warm finish again. In the mouth then rather apricot and an already exaggerated sweetness which then but again goes into the pleasantly fruity. Very unique taste that stands out from normal Agricole (is itself none but yet somehow "similar") strong.
Review by Jizeus Christ Guitare
Assez sauvage, pas désagréable mais assez intense et atypique. À déguster au bon moment !
Review by MarcT
Oh, eah, a very nice Rum. Similarities to Clairins are there, but it's not the raw power. Fruity, sweet but balanced. A slight hint of wood and olives. No sharp alcohol experience here, which is good, and a well balance as well. The aftertaste lingers quite long, as usually is the case with such rums. Lovely, I deviated from my usual 2 sessions per sample approach, as it was just so very tasty.
