How does this rum taste?
Wild, smoky, olive‑meaty clairin
If you enjoy mezcal, peated whisky or dirty Martinis, this clairin is a fun detour—just be ready for full-on smoky olives, meat and perfume rather than classic “rum” sweetness.
Beginners, those expecting sweet, easy rum, or anyone sensitive to soapy, cheesy or meaty aromas and savory smoke in their glass.

Fruity and savory. Very friendly for a clairin. There is a savory smoke that really lingers.
Had to lower this one as today was not my favorite day for this rum.
Rumfest 2023 tasting so notes were brief
Cilantro from the ashtray at the end after having chemical tasting soap on the tongue. The nose is pure cheese foot. Unfortunately not my Clairin.
