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.
👃 une fois aéré pendant quelques minutes ses notes florales saisissent. On se croirait dans un champ de fleurs au Printemps. Quelques notes citronnées également. 👄 bouche puissante, belle intensité aromatique avec un rappel de ces notes florales et légèrement citronnée. Finale moyennement longue mais très agréable. Ce clairin est séduisant de par sa singularité et sa personnalité.
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.
Still the usual buttery, metallic notes of clairins, but with less fruit and more floral and spicy notes. It's more agricultural, with lemon zest too.
