    How does this rum taste?

    • Intense red fruit and sherry
    • Complex balance of wood and cane
    • Unique agricole-meets-sherry profile

    Red cherry and Oloroso sherry notes take center stage in this limited-edition Clairin Vieux Sajous, complemented by woody spice and vibrant sugarcane. RumX tasters admire its fusion of intense fruitiness with lively cane and vegetal tones, though some feel the sherry cask slightly mutes the classic Clairin character. Worth exploring for fans of fruit-forward rums with an agricole twist.

    "the white rums from Hait/Clairini taste very good. if you let this good base mature in a cask, it automatically becomes a masterpiece. you would think so, but it's not like that. in fact, a lot is lost in the cask and a lot is gained. very drinkable with a cherry aroma that I like."

    "Really different from the version without sherry storage. But different is not meant in a judgmental way. Both go great hand in hand. A lovely, interesting clairin. Great PLV and still available."

    "Doesn't quite come close to its sister bottling at 50.1%, as the additional alcohol content works to the detriment of balance in a direct comparison."
