    How does this rum taste?

    Clairin Le Rocher is an intriguing Haitian rum distilled at the Distillerie Bethel Romelus, unaged and boasting a robust 47.2% ABV. Selected by Velier, this rum captivates with its intense smoky and meaty aroma, complemented by olive and floral nuances. Users liken its distinct profile to smoky barbecues, providing an interesting combination of flavors. While it offers a considerably bold character, some find the alcohol integration slightly aggressive, with a medium finish lacking depth. Despite its divisive nature, Clairin Le Rocher is a unique offering for adventurous palates seeking something different, exhibiting notes that resonate well in cocktails like Daiquiris.

    Not for sipping in my opinion, but it's great for mixing. Really aggressive and colourful, with herbal and smoky tones.

    Tasted among 5: Rocher, casimir, sajous, vaval & sonson, and actually maybe my second favorite. Could have been the favorite if it had a bit more complexity and length in the finish which is medium. But don't get me wrong, it s interesting, mainly around the ester, smoky-meaty and olives notes

    Ultra-gourmet on the palate, but lacks the pep to take it to the next level.

    #5189 20.03.2025 Running through a few samples at home. Nose Round, light smoke, vegetal, light floral, light citrus, light olive, banana, cheese. Palete Round, fresh, light smoke, light citrus, light apricot, floral, light vegetal. Finish Medium long, light oily, light smoke, fresh, light citrus, floral, faint herbal. Empty glass Perfume, fruits, olive, smoke. This was a unique experience and one of the first times where I can pick up a clear cheese note.
