Fruity freshness on the nose ... Herbal floral notes and a slight hint of dirty leather and light tar (difficult to describe). On the palate First alcohol well integrated. Honey, yellow fruits, melon, mint and vegetal notes. The dirtiness is very minimal and comes through more in the finish .... All in all, decent but not surprising.
Auto-translatedSajous is and remains my favorite clairin. Here is the oldest one for me besides the LMDW bottling. Beautiful nose, great aromatics, basically very round and complex. Like a dessert refined with passion fruit and tangerine, but also some bitter flavors and minerality, as well as acidity that bothers me a bit. The LMDW bottling clearly has the edge for me here.
Auto-translatedAnother beautiful 'expiriment of clairin aged in caroni barrels! Despite the barrel it managed to keep some peculiarities of white clairin, especially the vegetal and fruity part! Promoted!
Auto-translatedDieser Chelo hinterlässt mich etwas zwiegespalten zurück… Die Nase ist recht angenehm fruchtig mit etwas Zuckerrohr und Minze. Am Gaumen kommen Gewürze und Holz dazu. Das Ganze erscheint zunächst komplex, aber nach längerer Verweildauer am Gaumen erscheinen merkwürdige Fehlnoten. Eine chemische Bitterkeit, die sich mir nicht erklärt und wie gesagt, etwas zwiespältig ist.
