Velier Arawaks Clairin Vaval 2018
Highly praised clairin with a bold mix of tropical fruit, olives and earthy vegetal notes, an oily mouthfeel and well-integrated 50.6% ABV. Balanced, characterful and great value.

The best way to finish a hard working day in monselice 😏 Need some time to fully open. Very nice, solid, classic style clairin
Oh ja, top dieser Rum. Schöner Haitianer. In der Nase kommt gleich die Fruchtigkeit hoch und auch den Agricole kann man gut riechen. Im Gaumen genauso, kommt noch ein schöner pflanzlicher Geschmack hinzu. Alkohol gut eingebunden. Top Rum 👍
Tropical fruit bomb. Almost too intense. Definitely needs time. Delicious in cocktails.
