Velier Clairin Communal Ansyen (Blend des quatre communes)

Great blend! Oily consistency, intense, complex flavor without alcoholic sharpness. Noticeable Caroni notes. Top PLV!

8,6:On the nose, it is full-bodied. There is a note of burnt rubber for a starter, as it is very fruity with strawberry, raspberry, banana, vegetal with honeysuckle, olive, thyme and vanilla. The fruits are really fermented, marmelade like. A lot of esters.... With an aeration, it becomes increasingly oily with an olive, herbal with some sage and verbena, camphor. The sugar cane juice is darker with some licorice also and with a whiff of smoke. Very complex and tempting. 8,6:On the palate, the hot attack is medicinal and musky, spicy. It becomes fibrous with sugar cane, licorice and herbal with mint.There is a note of umami. On the mid-palate, one fruit dominates, of course, banana. Then floral notes with geranium and lavender are covered with cocoa. At the end of the palate, banana is fried and caramelized, smoky, as the wood is young and dry. 8,5:The finish is long, flowery, woody and dry, honey and sugar cane are sweet. There are vegetal notes of artichoke with some lime and mint...

Fresh. Fruity. Some wood. Mega tasty.

I may have a nasty cold, but that won't spoil my enjoyment of this awesome blend for the first time in a long time. Haiti is recognizable at first taste. Beautiful combination of fruit and grassy notes. The finish adds a Haitian smoked meat savoury wildness😃. For me, a very underrated hit. Edit: after a long time of retasting the shell sample and it's still a blast for me

Un excellent rapport qualité prix

#4993 22.12.2024 Enjoying some samples at home. Nose Faint wood, vegetal, grass, sugarcane, faint mint, light polish, light citrus. Palate Naturally sweet, light wood, light grass, sugarcane, light citrus, light mint, berries, light anise. Finish Long, lightly sweet, light wood, citrus, light grass, faint salt, light mint. The empty glass has light olive and a light floral note. Needs to rest for a while to really open up and settle properly.

Très atypique comme rhum.. On sent bien le whisky..

בקבוק מדובר בקלארין שהוא לא פחות מהפסגה שיש לקלארין להציע. בלנד של מספר מזקקות קטנות אבל הפרופיל כל כך קלארין. זיתים. מלוח. שמרים. פירות ירוקים וחמוצים. קצת עשן. בעיניי בלנדים כאלה יכולים לעשות טוב מאוד ולהוציא פרופילים מטורפים מהאיטי. בקבוק טוב מאוד וקניה חזקה מבחינתי

Very nice blend of clairins🤤😎 This in my opinion is more enjoyable, because it isn‘t so rough, wild, spicy like other white clairins. The alcohol and wood is integrated very well.

Rhum étrange, avec un nez très végétal, expressif mais doux. Par contre, la bouche est vive, acide. Longueur intéressante

Beau rhum avec beaucoup d’expression !

Un Clairin veramente piacevole e godibile. Lo trovo ben bilanciato sia al palato che al naso. Leggermente più addomesticato della versione unaged. Consigliato

A perfect blend of Haitian flavors. The nose is rich, a touch opulent with its strong medicinal notes (esters, solvents, nail polish), herbal and vegetal notes but also ripe, exotic and fragrant fruitiness (pineapple, banana, apricot). A few spicy notes, a touch of sugarcane and a hint of dairy products make for a rather voluptuous aroma. A generous clairin for the nostrils. The attack on the palate is oily and highly perfumed. Ripe, tropical fruit (banana, pineapple) mingles with olive notes, sweet spices, herbs, earthy notes and a smoky edge. Sweet, lactic yoghurt notes give this profile quite a bit of roundness. The alcohol is well dosed at this level, demonstrating a fine balance. The finish is of decent length, with empyreumatic notes (smoke, rubber), spices (vanilla, pepper, chili, salt), herbs, earth and fruit (tomato, exotic fruit). The flavors are not the most intense, but remain imprinted on the palate. A lovely clairin offering a fine aromatic panel from its blend.

In einer anderen Bewertung fand ich den Begriff "Funky Swedish berries". Ich finde, das trifft es als Beschreibung dieses gereiften Clairin Communal ziemlich gut. Interessant und ungewöhnlich finde ich ihn allemal, ein Sample reicht hier aber meiner Meinung nach.

In my opinion, at the moment, white clairins are much more interesting. The absolutely agreeable choice to age them is interesting, but still these rums fail to really take off. Certainly they have their own unmistakable imprint in the aromatic bouquet however, the work needs further improvement.
