Providence Dunder & Syrup Haitian Rum Blanc
Providence Dunder & Syrup Haitian Rum Blanc is Haiti's wild side, bottled unaged: a 112-proof (56% ABV) pot-still rum blanc in this 700mL bottle — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Distilled at the Distillerie de Port-au-Prince, "Dunder & Syrup" describes the fermentation: fresh cane juice and cane syrup (the "cristalline" syrup from Michel Sajous' plantation, 150 km north of Port-au-Prince — the same estate behind Clairin Sajous) fermented with dunder, the residue of previous distillations — a Jamaican-style funk technique. Then pot-distilled, unaged, and non-chill filtered. No molasses anywhere: this bridges Haiti's clairin tradition and French agricole style, and Velier classifies it Pure Single Rum.
Official tasting notes (Velier/Providence): guava, honey, and burnt cane on the nose; creamy red fruit, thyme, and smoked meat on the palate; almond, vegetal, and subtle tertiary notes on the finish.
Why buy Dunder & Syrup? Because it's the funkiest agricole-adjacent rum in the store — 112 proof of cane, dunder, and Haitian terroir that cocktails can't replicate and sippers won't forget. Explore the rum collection, the Providence brand collection, and more spirits.
Serving note: a ti' punch (rhum, cane syrup, lime) is the classic; neat for the brave.
What is "dunder"? The residue left from previous distillations, added to fermentation — a Jamaican technique that builds funky, high-ester character.
Is it aged? No — it's a blanc: unaged, bottled straight off the still at 56% ABV.
What is the ABV? 56% ABV (112 proof).
Is it a clairin? It bridges styles — cane juice and syrup like a clairin/agricole, with Jamaican-style dunder funk.
