- Description
- Vieux Vaval's 2015 release began at Haiti's tiny Arawaks distillery before relocating to Port-au-Prince, where it aged for eight years in ex-Benriach Speyside whisky casks. This influence imparts layered complexity to the Haitian rum base, creating a spirit that sits between traditional Caribbean character and Scotch-inflected depth. The cask strength (51.8% ABV) suits those interested in how terroir and wood interact across different rum traditions.
