Boukman Botanical rum

Boukman Botanical

Haiti | Flavored | 45% ABV

Boukman Botanical Rhum is derived from two of Haiti’s rhum terroirs, the cane fields of Croix des Bouquets in the south and the northern cane fields around Cap Haïtien. The rhum is distilled from the fresh juice of sugar cane, then infused with botanicals and barks, many of which are native to Haïti and foraged in the wild.

L'odore fa presupporre qualcosa di molto alcoolico.
Al palato ricorda tanto una grappa, un poco morbida.
Non è dolce, e senz'altro lo sento meno aromatico di tanti altri rum.
Tuttavia si assapora volentieri.
E' un prodotto diverso dai soliti ottimi Zacapa, El Dorado, o Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva.
La persistenza sul palato è media.
Darei 6,5 di voto, ma dò 7, perchè la bottiglia è meravigliosa.

Rettifica del 12/09/2023: Voto riduco a 6. Questo rum, che sembra grappa, non dà particolare piacere, a gustarlo. Sarebbe 5, ma la meravigliosa bottiglia fa arrivare la media a 6.

W opiniach, które czytałem pisano, że jest to gin wśród rumów. Zgadzam się jednak z tą opinią tylko częściowo. W smaku przypomina mi dobrą cachace, więc idealnie nadaje się do Caipirinhi. Moim zdaniem 10/10.

Boukman is the progressive rock of rums. Complex, surprising, weird. Great for fans of amaro such as Braulio, or folks who put bitters in everything. I hesitate to call it smooth, as it packs a punch, but it's enjoyable from beginning to end. It's like a dinner made by a reckless chef, whose dishes have 18 steps of taste and he's got to turn down the music as to not overload your senses. It's spicy, and perhaps it is "spiced" but it tastes far more like rum than your average spiced rum. It's flavorings are interesting and uncommon in the spiced rum world. Floral without perfuminess at all. I guess leafy is what I would call it. I'm sure this is a controversial rum as the rating reflects, but rest assured it is tip-top in quality - it's just definitely not "for everyone".

Very much in the vein of amaro or other such liqueurs. All about the spices/herbs. Very distinctive but spiced/flavoured rums are really not for me.

Unusual aroma notes which are difficult to identify. Up front tastes slightly sweet, but finishes quite dry.

This is a pleasant rum. Smells and tastes of herbs, cardamom, agricole, and marzipan. Not bad at all, but a bit on the dry side for my personal liking.

I won’t repeat what’s written by the administrators above.
It’s made in the spirit of the revolutionary Dutty Boukman in mind.
Boukman was transported to Haiti as a slave, but became a leader of the “Maroons” (independent societies of escaped and free black people) and a voodoo priest. In 1791, Boukman ignited the Haitian Revolution, swearing an oath to liberty that was toasted with rum. Boukman was soon killed by French colonist but, the movement he started eventually freed Haiti, and defeated Napoleon’s armies.

Boukman produce their rum (or spirit drink) in the traditional Haitian way, similar to a local spiced moonshine known as “kleren tronpe”. Indeed, the founder Boukman Rum, Josette Buffaret Thomas, said “If kleren tronpe had a more sophisticated and elegant cousin, Boukman Rhum would be it.”

It’s dry and fresh with notes of wood, cardamom, vanilla, almond but also vegetal with notes of sugar cane, orange, cloves and lime.
It’s bottled at 45% ABV which makes it quite intense.
About Dutty Boukman’s memory it’s more than a gimmick, cause they give some of their profits to Haitian charity.

Overall I think it’s a great spiced rum well worth a test.

Lots of different spices to this one, most are different than what I would usually expect for a rum. Strong flavors of cinnamon and all spice, but it is really difficult to taste everything in it.

Wasn’t really sure what to expect, but this really let me down. The initial aromas aren’t bad and have an agricole sense to them. The taste is where everything went downhill. Tastes just like rubbing alcohol with some extra flavor. The finish burns just like rubbing alcohol. A lot of work needs to be done with this one.
