How does this rum taste?
Reviewers love how the Oloroso sherry finish softens and rounds the lively Clairin character, bringing tropical fruit and marzipan over a vegetal core. Expect hints of spice, toasted notes, vanilla and a touch of licorice. Many praise the balance and value at release, though some found the finish shorter or the alcohol a bit present. With 61 community reviews and strong buyer confidence, it’s a popular, limited cask-strength pick.

What can I say about this mix...it amazed me! You can feel the vegetal part of the vaval and there are the "dirty" scents characteristic of casimir joined by the sherry cask which gives it a nice fruity and buttery note! A really successful experiment!

Chamomile tea meets green apple and is accompanied by fruit bread. Herbal tea notes linger in the taste, served on an oak board. Plus more fruit bread and dried apricot. A honey note is added in the finish. Very interesting rum.

There is a faint sugarcane note in the profile.
