Top review from Zucker und Zeste:
"I like even better than the already extremely good 2018 bottling. Is more complex with a very nice fruity berry note. Otherwise also green and grassy with lots of sugar cane and pronounced ester notes. One of the best white rums!"

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Velier does it again. The nose is fruity with tobacco and some roasted notes. There is an acidic/sour touch to the nose. The palate is warm and oily with fruit, coffee and a hint of tobacco. The wood note is very light and nice. Medium to long finish that is warm and woody with some berries. Price to quality is OK."

Top review from cigares :
"Hard to find, I wanted this bottle exactly because I was already disappointed by Velier's Haitian. A pastry nose with sugar cane and funky (ex Jamaican rum barrel?). On the palate we find the funky with woody, banana and rum grapes which still reminds us of Jamaica.Very disappointing and volatile at the opening, it has mellowed and complexified with oxidation and time.A very good idea the aging in rum cask. Better than younger Sajous and more interesting than an older clairin."

Top review from Thunderbird:
"The successor to Sajous is quite similar to its predecessor, but doesn't quite come close. It is much tamer than the latter, which some people may like better, as it is somewhat rounder and more palatable. The range of aromas is very good and varied (fruit, spice, sugar cane)"

Top review from Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪:
"A great rum! You can feel the initial strength of the alcohol, but the aromas that come after a while are well marked and you don't have to sniff the glass for too long. A firm, old-fashioned rum. On the palate, in addition to a fruity and vegetal component (where olives stand out), this aftertaste of solvents/esters never unpleasant stands out. Very long finish where in turn all the previously perceived flavors are felt. Predominant on the finish is a hint of peat/smoky always accompanied by solvents/esters.Unique!Velier nailed it! Long live Velier!"

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This is a very nice Clairin and price to quality is very good. The nose is fresh and fruity with varnish, and wood as well as light earthy and floral notes. The palate is complex, balanced and very well rounded and fresh with brown sugar, fruit, vanilla and light floral tobacco notes. The finish is medium long and sweet with dried fruit, wood and light vanilla."

Top review from Frank:
"VSGBNose: not a classic Clarin, the oloroso cask has mellowed it considerably. Fruity it is, apple and honeydew melon with a little vinegar. In addition something vegatibles, maybe artichoke, green with something, like chamomile. Palate: hui, seems very sweet, sherry sweet, so quite full-bodied. Cherry, plum and dried, sulfured apricot. On the palate, the sherry fizz - as so often, or almost always - clearly drowns out the actual rum. If you like that, it is quite tasty, but for me always too monotonous and interchangeable. So also here."

Top review from cigares :
"Un Sajous équilibré et sans aucun faux goût. Mais je ne sens pas l’influence du fût de Caroni, ni au nez, ni en bouche. Malgré tout un beau clairin, bien que je ne soie pas très amateur de ce genre de profil."

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This is a rum that will separate waters as an either you like it or not. Right out of the bottle it can be pungent to some, but after resting for a while it becomes more gentle and light. Fruity with medicinal notes are there from nose to finish. There is also oak and spice in the mix. Price to quality can be discussed all the way to the bank :-)"
