Distillery Arawaks was built after the second war by Fritz's father, Danois Vaval in the southern village of Cavaillon. Today Fritz has 20 hectares of the sugarcane variety called Madame Meuze, grown naturally without the addition of chemical fertilizers or pesticides. The cane is cut by machete and transported by mule to be pressed in a small mill.Wild fermentation lasts around 5 days without adding water or artificial substances. The distillate is made in a unique pot still that is very different from any other because Fritz built it himself. His still is unusual in that it is powered by steam, produced by a steam engine of an old locomotive train, powered fueled by burning bagasse. Two distillations are done per day, each lasting around 10 hours and coming off the still at 45% to 55% ABV.

Description

Distillery Le Rocher ("The Rock") is located in the village of Pignon. Owner Romelus Bethel is the brother of a priest and named his distillery after the biblical parable of the wise and the foolish builders: will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock. The rain came down, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and itdidn't fall for it was founded on the rock.

Clairin Le Rocher is produced using syrup made from the cane varietal Cristalline in Saint Michel de l'Attalaye Syrup is brought to the distillery and diluted until the brix level is advantageous for natural fermentation with the natural yeast of the area. During the very long fermentation, dunder from the previous distillation is added to boost the level of

flavor intensity.

On the nose it is aromatic and vibrant, opening with briny olive notes and coastal freshness, layered with ripe papaya, juicy mango, and the distinctive minerality of wet slate.

It gives a smooth and flavourful, revealing notes of green banana, delicate anise, and sea-sprayed salt air. Earthy root vegetables add depth, while ripe plum brings a subtle fruit sweetness on the palate.

The finish is broad and gentle, with lingering impressions of rich coastal air and beachside minerals, leaving a fresh and harmonious finish.
