San Janj White Rum

San Zanj is a blend of double-distilled Clarin and Agricole from a variety of select Haitian producers. This spirit is distilled the way it has been for hundreds of years, on a Creole Column still. The still is heated with a fire from wood and spent sugar cane husks. This white rum imparts the fruit forward flavors of the island and the history of tradition.

Ak Zanj Dark Rum

Ak Zanj means “With Angels,” a reference to the Angel’s Share, the spirit stolen by thirsty angels each year, as the rum matures in barrels.
