Velier Chelo Clairin Sajous

"Perhaps the most balanced and fruity of the clairins I've tasted. There's clearly a touch of olive and funk, but above all beautiful fruit, perhaps apricot and mirabelle plum in addition to banana, mingling with a hint of vegetal, and some sweet vanilla flavors. A sprinkling of spices to keep things interesting, and paf!"

"I'm not really a fan of white rum, but this one is quite interesting. The smell of pickled olive is a little confusing at first, but on the palate it's actually very mild and similar to fruit brandy. The finish is slightly sweet and peppery. It's quite ok"

"Premier Clairin quebje teste. Celui-ci propose un nez très surprenant. Comme un joli mélange entre un pur jus agricole et mélasse jamaïcaine. Du fruit (beaucoup et bien mûr), de la colle, de l'olive, du citron, de la canne. Très frais. Impression confirmée en bouche où je retrouve précisément ces marqueurs. C'est étonnant et drôlement bien fait !"

"I love this Clairin. It bursts with fruit and a touch of brine. Full mouth feel and long finish. Definitely something special."

"Tasted among 5: Rocher, casimir, sajous, vaval & sonson.. not.my favorite but still a nice clairin. Very warm, maybe even too much, rotten and sweet fruits, sugarcane, peppery"

"i cannot stress enough that the olive notes mentioned are not the typical canned/jarred variety. in fact, each of the notes listed above taste as fresh and organic as one could imagine in a spirit. despite what i have seen and heard from others, i do not pick up on many floral or grassy notes, but this is made up for by the creamy, peppery, citrusy garden of tropical arrangements, with a generous herbaceous quality. the finish is long, silky, and evolving. i am struggling to find anything more to ask for."
