Distinct olive/brine
Bright citrus and cane
Long mineral finish
RumX community voice

Briny olives and herbs on the nose lead to citrus, fresh cane and grass; salty, mineral and lingering finish. Intense yet rewarding, especially after a brief rest in the glass.

    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love its wild, briny-olive and herbal nose. The palate is bright with citrus, fresh cane and grass, turning salty and mineral with a long, lingering finish. Bold and earthy, several reviewers suggest letting it breathe to soften its edge. A rising community favorite with 44 reviews, this Haitian pot-still rum rewards slow sipping and curiosity.

    Nez typique sauvage herbacé poivré fruité

    Dirty like many Clairins. These Haitian rums are not for sensitive palates. They can be aggressive just like this Vaval, but tasting after tasting you learn to appreciate and love them. If aerated for a while it is better.

    Like any Haitian stinker, this one is a must try. The aroma is fruity, citrusy, salty, cane-like. For me, it's one of the most accessible white rums from Haiti. Saltiness, fruit, cane, minerals and much more in the taste.

    Exciting earthy sake notes on the finish. Very green in taste and the nose has the typical olive notes of a Clairin in my opinion where it is rather the olive water.
