Casimir

Casimir Distillery

You need to go to Barradères to find a paradise for all rhum lovers, genuineness and taste, and where you could shoot the fifth film of Indiana Jones. Barradères is only 25 kilometers as the crow flies from Cavaillon, which is on the national road Port-au-Prince - Les Cayes, but to get there it takes at least three hours with a good 4 × 4, along a dirt road that climbs up hills covered by the tropical forest, then descend to the mouth of the Cavaillon river, which enters the Caribbean Sea, in the beautiful bay of Barradères.
There is no restaurant, there is no bar, not even a pharmacy, but there are thirteen distilleries. In Barradères you breathe an air of other times, it seems to be in 1800, everything takes place at a slow pace, and you feel that everything has a value.

Faubert Casimir continues the work begun by his father Duncan in 1979, and is considered the best distiller in the area. To get to its distillery you have to go along a path covered with Bagasse passing through a banana tunnel, naturally organic.
Faubert cultivates fifty acres of Hawaii Blanche and Hawaii Rouge rods, tender reeds, non-hybrids.
The Hawaii Blanche resembles the Otahiti reeds, cultivated in 1800 in Martinique and visible in the Museum of the Saint James Distillery in Sainte Marie.

Its plantation is in association with bananas, palm trees and especially lime (citron vert).
Only the fully ripened barrels are harvested, and therefore the field is never completely devoid of vegetation. Bagasses are composted with other organic materials, and used to fertilize new plantations.

The particularity of Casimir and the other distillers of the area is to add some herbs or vegetable substances to pure fermented cane juice, to enhance the aromas. Casimire adds citronella leaves, cinnamon and, in some batches, ginger.
