    "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!"

    "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."

    "Mwah. It's not bad, but it's interesting to discover. Because, quite frankly, if you want a nice Agricole, well, you can easily find something much better, much cheaper and findable! Hype for an investor's product rather than a rum lover's..."
