How does this rum taste?
Clairin Vaval Cavaillon, produced in Haiti by Arawaks distillery and bottled by Velier, is a unique rum distilled in 2016 from sugar cane juice using a pot still. With a robust 48.8% ABV, it presents a diverse bouquet of aromas including tequila, medicinal notes, grass, banana, and mango. The palate reveals tropical fruit, sugar, grass, vegetal, and mineral flavors. User reviews note its remarkable fruity nose, complemented by a complex mixture of oily and slightly smoky notes, although some find the finish short and slightly dilute. This Clairin offers an intriguing balance of sweet and savory nuances.

NOSE: Super fruity; sweet banana, grilled pineapple, mango, papaya, cherry, raspberry, a symphony of mainly tropical fruits. Light oily notes; kerosene and diesel, slight smoky mescal notes. Diving deeper; a trove of medicinal smells as well; camphor, gauze bandage. Wonderful (92-93p) TASTE: The arrival is slightly oily, it’s tropical, (just) a little peppery. Mid palate: oily kerosene and diesel notes compete with tropical fruitiness. Exit & aftertaste also a bit oily/waxy, equal parts mild sweetness and black pepper. Takes water well but perhaps best w/o. (91) OVERALL: Close to perfect: 92p.
My first Clairin! An exquisite surprise and i had the pleasure to share that specific bottle with the members of Hypnotic Brass Ensemble after their show at the New Morning back then in 2016. Beautiful Memories!
Reminds us of a stock cube, but in a positive sense. Finish is unfortunately a bit short and watery
