Boukman Rhum

Dark golden amber in colour. The bouquet shows aromas of grilled corn, banana leaf, orange zest, roast peach, and bubble gum. The palate brings a satiny, crisp, dry light-to-medium body and a warming, intriguing nuances of grilled root vegetables, sourdough banana bread, caramel, oregano, and cardamom notes. A nuanced spirit with creamy flavours, great complexity and balance on the finish.

Boukman Rhum is made in collaboration with three families, each with five generations in the rum business. The spirit is distilled at two distilleries in Haiti, one in the northern Cap Haïtien region and the other in Croix-des-Bouquets further south. Maceration, blending and bottling all takes place in Port au Prince. Demonstrating their strong social mission, Boukman Rhum was created in partnership with Haiti Futur, a local non-profit dedicated to education and entrepreneurship, and donates 10% of its profits to this cause. Boukman is also involved in work to reinvigorate sugar cane farming in Haiti, working with a local distiller and NGO to use new organic farming techniques to improve yields, with the aim of doubling local farmers’ incomes from sugar cane.
