Ak Zanj 8 Year Haitian Dark Rum is an agricole-style rum from Haiti, distilled from fresh sugarcane juice and aged 8 years in ex-Cognac casks. It is bottled at 43% ABV (86 proof), rich with butterscotch and caramel.

The Story of Ak Zanj 8 Year

Ak Zanj is sourced and blended by Berling S.A., a family-run distilling company in Port-au-Prince whose roots go back to 1862. The name means “with angels” in Haitian Creole, a nod to the angels’ share that evaporates during aging. The rum begins with juice from the low-yield Madame Meuze sugarcane variety, which is spontaneously fermented and distilled on a creole column still more than 60 years old before aging exclusively in former Cognac casks.

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Butterscotch and caramel
  • Palate: Rich and rounded, with caramel deepening into dried fruit
  • Finish: Long and dry, with hints of plum

How to Enjoy

Enjoy it neat or over a large cube. Its caramel richness also makes it a great base for a rum Old Fashioned.
