Velier Casimir Clairin Vieux Casimir (LMDW) 2016
Highly regarded as a balanced, agricole‑leaning Clairin with fresh cane, olive and light wood notes. Seen as milder, more relaxed and well-integrated than unaged Casimir, while still offering personality.
Agricole and Clairin fans who want a more relaxed, aged expression with fresh cane, olive and earthy notes rather than full-on Haitian funk.

How does this rum taste?
Balanced, relaxed aged Clairin
If you enjoy agricoles or unaged Clairin Casimir but want something calmer and more rounded, this bottling keeps the olive/earth notes while toning down the rough edges.
Those chasing intense, wild Clairin character or big cask-driven complexity; also not ideal if you want budget-friendly, easily available bottles.

On the nose, it goes in the direction of an Agricole VSOP and is not as "dirty" as I know Clairin otherwise. In the taste then come through rather notes that I already had with many Clairin, eg olive. Somewhat earthy. Downright charred in the finish. In the finish comes roasted banana.
I had so many expectations in this rum but I was very disappointed! Very flat in flavor and gives you little emotion, plus all the special features that unaged casimir has here I find them very little! Really a great pity!
Erwachsener und milder als ungelagerte Clairins. Sehr spannend - insbesondere am Gaumen sehr schön und entspannt, gleichzeitig spannend
I like it quite a lot. Less the typical Clairin notes on the nose, but rather floral, perhaps also aniseed. On the palate, the cask comes through a little more strongly, but still a good balance to the earthy notes and a slight (honey) sweetness. I would describe the cask maturation experiment as a success here (which has not worked out very well with other Clairins)
