Velier Chelo Clairin Sajous 2013
Most love its wild, vegetal sugarcane intensity and long spicy finish. Critics find the alcohol sharp, a bit watery, or too “mushroomy”. Consensus: a distinctive, rustic clairin for adventurous palates.
Fans of rustic agricole-style spirits who enjoy raw sugarcane, barnyard funk and high-ABV white rums, whether sipped slowly or used as a bold base in Daiquiris and Ti’ Punch.

How does Velier Chelo Clairin Sajous 2013 taste?
Wild, rustic clairin for adventurous drinkers
If you already enjoy high-ester whites or agricole blancs, this is a great Haiti detour: same raw cane energy, but wilder and more barnyard, with a punchy 53.5% delivery.
Beginners or those sensitive to high ABV and earthy, mushroomy, barnyard notes; anyone expecting a soft, sweet, easygoing white rum.

I remember this slap in the face when I drank this rum a long time ago, almost 10 years ago, I think it was the moment when I realized the extent of the possibilities with white rum! Since then I can't get enough of it, a very wild side, as if you were in a stable with horses and oxen, a change of scenery, I think it's a Clairin character trait.
Encore un superbe clairin gourmand et très végétal à la fois. La canne fermentée et bien sucrée domine du nez à la finale.
31.12. 2019 Last tasting of 2019 went into 2020. Celebrating with family and friends who like rum we ended up having a great party according to my notes. Notes. Transparent in colour. Nose: fresh, intense, fruit, herbs, polish, sugarcane, floral. Palate: Intense, spicy, oily, sugarcane, polish, citrus. Finish: long, spicy, citrus, anise.
Very interesting, but a bit too much mushroom for me.
