Ak Zanj 15 Year Old Haitian Dark Rum｜ Other Products

Ak Zanj means "with angels" in Haitian Creole — a wink at the angel's share stolen during aging — and the 15 Year is the one drinkers on RumRatings call absolute perfection. It comes from Berling S.A., one of the oldest operating rum houses in Haiti, co-founded in Port-au-Prince in 1862 by Labbé Barbancourt and still family-run by his great-grandson Herbert Barbancourt Linge, a central figure in Haitian rum and clairin. This is cane-juice rum in the agricole tradition: fresh juice from Madame Mueze, a low-yield local sugarcane varietal, spontaneously fermented with wild yeast and distilled on a Creole column still more than 60 years old. Then the unusual part — it's aged exclusively in a single ex-Cognac cask for 15 years, bottled at 43% ABV. Expect toasted vanilla bean, bananas Foster, honey, candied fruit, and hazelnut, with the Grand Champagne Cognac influence lingering on a long, elegant finish, the clairin funk long since mellowed into something genuinely refined. The Ultimate Mai Tai blog found the 8 and 10 lovely sippers; the 15 is where the range peaks. One taster ranked it above Barbancourt 15, which is the fair comparison. Rare, well-priced for its age, and a genuine sipping rum from a country most drinkers still know only for clairin.Buy Ak Zanj 15 Year Old Haitian Dark Rum online with fast shipping right to your door.
