Providence Rum 3 Year 2020

Established in 2018, Distillerie de Port-au-Prince is one of the newest and smallest distilleries in the Caribbean. The project sprung out of the passion of the Linge Family whose history of working in rum dates back to the 18th century. Master Distiller Herbert Linge Jr and his family are reconnecting with their roots and rediscovering the methods and techniques of their ancestors who cofounded and operated Barbancourt Distillery until their separation in the mid 1800's. Distillery de Port-au-Prince's Providence Rums are crafted with the respect for the land, agriculture and people of Haiti.

This release of Providence 3 years is the second aged rum from the Distillerie de Port-au-Prince. The distillate is made from the same variety of ‘Cristalline’ cane. Produced in a Müller pot still, the rums leave the first run at 25-30% ABV and the second at 72-78% ABV.

This version was aged for three years in ex-Providence casks. By being aged in the distillery’s casks, this bottling fully expresses the identity of the brand. These casks are made of new American oak, charred at level 2, filled and emptied three times over a two-year period to acclimate the wood to the rum, facilitating a smooth and optimal aging process
