  • Good for mixing
  • Phenolic balance

The Clairin Vieux, distilled from sugarcane juice in Haiti and bottled by Kléren Nasyonal, presents a unique rum experience with its 50% ABV. Noted for its aromatic profile of sugarcane, butter, brown sugar, and vanilla, this rum offers flavors of young wood, banana, almond, and clove. Users find it reminiscent of other Clairins, but with subtle depth, displaying phenolic notes and a moderate astringency. While appreciated for its mixability in cocktails like the Mai Tai, some critique its yeast notes and alcohol balance. It goes beyond being a sipping rum, often preferred as a mixer.

"Nope this is not the same quality of veliers iterations. Unfortunately there is this weird yeast note, that really puts me off the whole thing. It really shows how excellency is a careful choice. Happy to have tried this"

"Reminds me of the Clairin Sajous from the Oloroso Cask. Just a little less depth. Nice "entry" Clairin, which comes less brachial and daunting."
