    How does this rum taste?

    The Clairin Vieux Casimir rum, crafted in Haiti and selected by Velier, is distilled from cane juice in 2016 and aged 5 years. Bottled at cask strength with a 47.5% ABV, it blends intriguing notes of sugarcane, olive, and young wood with earthy and tropical fruit flavors. Limited to just 180 bottles, it offers a fresh, balanced palate, appealing to both aficionados of aged agricole rhums and newcomers seeking unique profiles. Despite varied opinions, users note its subtle complexity compared to typical Clairin distillates.

    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!

    19.11.2021 Celebrating my birthday at a bygone local bar with dinner as part of the experience. Notes Light in colour. Nose Fresh, fruity, banana, light grass, sugarcane, light tea, light olive. Palate Light wood, light sour, orange, fruity, olive, light salty, raisin, sugarcane. Finish Medium to long, fresh, balanced, light wood, faint roasted, olive, light salty, light earthy.

    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...
