Velier Arawaks Vieux Vaval 7 ans vieillit en fût de Caroni 2018
Highly praised as a fruity, floral, dry Haitian clairin with an excellent nose and very well-integrated alcohol; Caroni cask influence is subtle, letting the original spirit stay in front.
Fans of Haitian clairin who enjoy dry, floral and citrus-forward profiles with a bit of glue/technical edge and are curious about light cask influence at moderate cask strength.

Dry, floral Haitian clairin at its best

Der Vieux Vaval ist fruchtig (Zitrus), leicht medizinisch, bringt relativ viele Säure mit, etwas Marzipan. Der Alkohol ist gut integriert. Etwas Holzeinfluss, aber vom Caroni-Cask merke ich allerdings nichts.
Ja, der ist schön. Hier ist mir das Fass auch nicht zu aufdringlich. Am Gaumen recht trocken und adstringierend. Von den Vieux Vaval, die ich bisher probieren konnte mein Favorit. Eine schöne runde Sache, Alkohol ist auch gut eingebunden, recht elegantes Teil.
Clairin enttäuscht selten,- auch dieser hier ist wieder toll gelungen. Schön florale Noten, fruchtig …und eine überragende Nase. Der Alkohol ist perfekt eingebunden. Die Zitrusfrüchte kommen im Abgang nochmal richtig hoch.
Ich suche nach dem Einfluss des Caroni-Fasses, finde den aber nicht. Trotzdem gefällt mir die Abfüllung ganz gut. Die Nase ist sehr angenehm, fruchtig (Zitrusfrüchte), würzig und mit viel Klebstoff. Ähnliche Noten am Gaumen
