    "Comparative series of ansyans Clairins. Quite a rough nose with medicine, whiskey, vegetal and a bit of oil. A surprisingly smooth mouthfeel when I was expecting a lot of strength. Vegetal and caramel. The finish is quite long and dominated by smoked/coated whisky. A very good rum but the rum and whisky flavours collide a bit without finding harmony."

    "Very interesting thing. The Jack Daniel's barrel really comes into its own. With a few % more, this would have been a real winner."
