    "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 !"
