- Well-integrated alcohol
Clairin Sajous is a distinctive Haitian rum distilled in 2019 at the Chelo distillery and bottled by Velier. Known for its powerful 56.5% ABV, this rum presents a vibrant nose with vegetal, olive, and subtle lemon notes. On the palate, it is earthy and saline, featuring sugarcane and iodine tones. With an intense aromatic profile, the rum skews towards floral and herbal characteristics, occasionally blending in hints of rubber and smoke. While appreciated for its singularity and potent flavors, some find its flavors too niche or dry, particularly in classic rum cocktails. It scores well for its complexity and integration of alcohol despite its robust ABV, offering a wild fermentation experience emblematic of Clairins.

"Starting from the fact that you cannot compare white rums with aged rums for obvious organoleptic reasons, this clairin sajous is really crazy! I currently prefer them to their aged version. Rich in esters, olive, mineral (tastes like the sea) and complex. Magic!!! I could give much more if there was a distillation between white and amber rums."

"It's always an exciting time with clairins sajous. Wild fermentation brings such a difference in character that each year can be totally different rums. This is one of the good years, even if it may be a little too dry for some people's tastes. Very tasty and very drinkable, even neat. I've put it on the classic cocktail battery too: Ti-punch: 3/5 Daiquiri: 3/5 Donga punch: 4/5 Rum sour: 5/5 (seriously, one of the best tested to date, on a par with rum sours made with Foursquare or Savanna) Very friendly."

"Nose still fruity, palate then rather smoky. You miss nothing if you do not try it. Certainly not bad, but leaves no lasting impression on me."
