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.

Even better than the 1st version. Nice ester and glue notes. Great, complex flavor that is right in the middle between good Agricole and Hampden.

This is a very good Clairin and it will probably devides the waters because it's a bit different from the other releases. I like it a lot actually. The nose is light yet fresh with grass, floral, glue and vanilla as well as some dried fruit. This rum needs to rest before it surrenders all the flavours. The palate is sweet, warm and dry with dried fruit, spices, wood, grass and lovely floral notes. The finish is fresh and medium long with wood, vanilla, dried fruit and lovely floral notes. Should have bought a few bottles when I had the opportunity.

Overall, the rum seems somewhat closed, the fruity freshness of younger Clairins has already evaporated quite strongly by the storage - but the rum shows itself somewhat more dominant on the spicy side. Perhaps with even longer storage time would come up again a little more tension, so the rum but the concise freshness was taken, without the storage has already really struck positively. Does not pick me up so completely.

Barrel and spices dominate. For me, the whole Sajous DNA is lost here :( still quite tasty but somehow I do not warm up to it and is for me rather close to a normal good Agricole than to a Clairin sajous.🤷🏼♂️

Nutty notes in olive water come across a bit strange. In addition, fresh sugar cane juice on wood with a pinch of citrus.

Ich habe diese Flasche nun circa 3-4 Monate offen und sie gefällt mir nun besser als am Anfang. Für mich war der Oloroso der Top und dieser der Flop, aber ich erwärme mich immer mehr für diesen Tropfen. Von der Nase über den Antrunk, den Gaumen bis zum Abgang gefällt er mir sehr gut mit verschiedensten Momenten, die mal näher und mal weiter vom Ungelagerten Sajous sind.

Dans la lignée du premier avec un peu plus de watts et de tanin. Un bon clairin mais rien d’innovant ni de transcendant.

I don't have a great memory of the first batch but this one is successful, we find the clairin but with beautiful notes of old rum

Packs a lot of flavour and packs a bite but full of flavour with a long aftertaste. Quite floral with plenty of spice.

Tout aussi réussi que le 1st release mais pas tout à fait similaire. Ici le citron ainsi que la canne à sucre ont une belle place au nez et en bouche.

Plus de mordant que la première release. J'y retrouve plus le blanc d'origine

Schöner gereifter Clairin mit cremigem Mundgefühl (eine Stärke vieler Clairins, wie ich finde) und gut integriertem Alkohol. Aus meiner Sicht besser als die Schwesterabfüllung im Oloroso-Cask.

Nosing reveals a heart of cedar wood and sugarcane. It’s camphoraceous and cool followed by freshly cut grass, resin and lots of herbs and flowers. There’s balsamic and a bit of honey. Sparse fruits complete the profile with cherry coke notes as well as dried fruits and lemon zest. Less tannic than expected on the palate. Cherry coke and lemon zest with a touch of rhubarb transforming into burnt sugar and cask notes. It’s hot with peppers, yet cool with camphor and very light touches of anise. Ends in green tea and flowers. Very vegetal finish with wood, green tea, rhubarb and camphor.
