“I really like the sherry maturation. Compared to its 4-year-old brother, however, it lacks a little complexity. Nevertheless, a very good Haiti rum - especially if you like a (stronger) sherry influence.”

“Well, unfortunately I don't find this rum really convincing. The sherry is once again clearly evident and takes away a lot of the base. I would rather classify it as an easy sipper.”

“This Papalin contains a relatively high level of acidity with a hint of artificial sweetness. It also contains cherry fruit, allspice, sourdough yeast and burnt sugar. I find the acidity too high and the artificial aroma too strong.”

“Sticky cherry candies on the nose mingeling with perfume and vegetal notes. A bit too much sherry notes on the nose for my liking. I cannot identify the specific rums of the blend but get distracted by red fruits and cherry sweetness tbh. Cherry and red fruits on the palate again. I think this is well executed and a very easy sipper if you enjoy sherry finishes. However this is not for me really.”

“#4565 20.01.2024 Relaxing a bit today ☺️ This is a nice release with nice fruits and light spices. The glue and solvent notes are light and actually becomes the profile. The palate is oily, warm and naturally sweet with some added anise. The finish is medium long and also lightly sweet. The empty glass has medicinal and faint smoky notes.”

“With this blend of clairins that has spent its entire ageing period in sherry casks, Velier sees life as rosy. The nose is very intense, dominated by scents of cherry and red fruit, phenols and sherry, with a greedy spicy woodiness and candied, caramelized notes, followed by a light floral and vegetal touch. A concentrated nose, to say the least. The attack on the palate is no exception: an aromatic tsunami unfolds, ranging from red fruit (very ripe, cherry) to phenolic notes, sherry barrel, sweet spices, burnt sugar and a slight floral influence. The very syrupy texture lends consistency and gives the impression of drinking something very soft and sweet, almost sickening in the long run. The alcohol is fairly well integrated. The finish is firmer, with more medicinal notes (esters, glue, solvents), but still just as much cask influence, at once greedy, fruity and alcoholic, then slightly spicy (seasoned by salt). A lovely profile which, even if a little extreme on the sherry, makes it possible to introduce aged clairins to as many people as possible at a reasonable price.”

“An excellent Haitian rum. On the nose it is really good. On the palate the black cherry notes dominate over the typical Haitian rum notes but overall it is a good palate. Very sweet and warm finish. The Papalin Haiti confirm to be my favorite of the series. This one probably surpasses even the Papalin Haiti 4 year old.”

“Thats a very complexed rum! Wow! Barrels tend to destroy all of the Haitian goodies, not in this case though. The smell is very scrumptious, i would describe it as toasty chemical cherry lollipops in a candy store with this sweet, perfumy smell. The flavour profile of that goodie is very nuansed. The first thing is just the very sweet sherry and red fruit flavour which is supported with noticeable esters and solvents. The blend appears to have a slight roasty, burnt sugar flavour surrounding that does not overwhelm the whole profile, but its beautifully compliments the whole mixture. It has some mushroomy, cheeselike notes. Has some spicy chilli like tingling. And last but not least it has wood characteristics, besides the sherry barrel it has a pencil shavings with graphite flavour. The sweet vinegarish red fruit chemicallike flavours pleasently linger and create a marvellous experience for Your tastebuds. True craftsmanship of the rum blending and a fabulous addition to the Papalin line. Highly reccomended”

“Rather alcohol forward, a bit unbalanced. Still solid Haiti rum with fruits and a bit of funk. Lively with some toffee notes. Better than the 4yo.”
