    How does this rum taste?

    • Unique olive-briny profile
    • Smoky aroma appeal
    • Versatile in cocktails

    The Clairin from Haiti’s Le Rocher distillery, bottled by Velier, offers a distinctive rum experience. With an ABV of 46.5% and distilled from sugar cane juice using a pot still, this rum captivates with intense olive, smoky, and herbal notes. User reviews highlight its briny, olive-briny aroma with smoky and fermented undertones, while its taste features strong olive and herbal flavors with hints of lemon and floral. The unique profile includes elements reminiscent of barbecue and peaty spirits, attracting mixed reactions from users. While some appreciate its complex and unusual profile, particularly for mixology in cocktails like dirty martinis, others find the strong smoke and fermentation less appealing.

    "Lots of brine here, some shoemaker's glue and rubber. Didn't impress me but it's a drink to try. Bacon and barbecue sauce in the empty glass"

    "Mit dem Clairin Le Rocher kann ich leider gar nix anfangen. Salzig, sehr rauchig, Speck, Olive und ein bisschen erdig. allein die extreme Rauchnote ist absolut nicht meins . Vielleicht was für Fans von rauchigen Barbecuesoßen."
