How does this rum taste?
Most love its fruity-vegetal Sajous character shaped by subtle Caroni wood. Critics mention bitter, slightly chemical notes and sharp acidity. Consensus: complex, distinctive clairin, just behind top Sajous bottlings.
If you already enjoy Sajous or other clairins and want to see how careful Caroni cask aging adds depth without killing the agricole-style cane and funk, this is a smart next step.
Newcomers to rum, anyone sensitive to bitterness or high ABV, and drinkers who prefer sweet, smooth, low-funk rums without herbal or mineral edges.

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.
Sajous 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.
Another 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!
Dieser 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.
