    On the nose, Clairin is present, but the cask doesn't prevail, even if it does add a touch of vanilla. The palate is fruity and greedy. Esters are present. There's a spicy, peppery edge that balances everything out. The finish is tangy and candy-like. It reminds me more of a Jamaican or a Vaval. A very good old Sajous, better than the ex fut Caroni that preceded it.

    I really like this Sajous. Lots of sugar cane, but also esters and tropical fruit on the nose. The palate is also predominantly sugar cane. But also quite fruity again and a nice ester influence.

    Sajous bleibt mein Favorit unter den Clairins. Auch das ist eine schöne, runde Abfüllung. Fruchtig, Gewürze, Karamell, leichte Süße und Zuckerrohr. Dazu schöner medizinischer, leicht rostiger Abgang.

    #4566 20.01.2024 Relaxing a bit today ☺️ This is a pretty powerful rum and I love the mix of ester and light glue notes with the fruity part. The palate is lightly oily and warm with nice fruits. The finish is medium long and has a nice medicinal note to it. The empty glass has faint strawberry to it.
