  1. REDIRECT clairion

Clairin is a strong spirit made from cane sugar. Similar to rum, clairin is only produced in Haiti. In Jaques Roumain's novel Gouverneurs de la Rosée (governors of the dew) clairin features predominantly in a vodou ritual. Clairin is produced during the same process of distillation as rum although it is not refined to seperate the different alcohols produced by fermentation and exhaustion.
