    Sugar cane juice meets funky ester finish. A very successful experiment, the trademarks of Sajous and Hampden both come through and complement each other to create a delicious symbiosis of both countries. The grassiness of the Sajous has been toned down and is probably a little rounder than other Ansyen bottlings thanks to the Jamaica cask. The alcohol is a little sharp at first, but by no means fizzy. A very nice experiment, which for me should average well over 80 points in the ratings. Edit: after a few months of opening, I'm increasing my rating by 2 points. The oxidation has done the rum an incredible amount of good, the typical Clairin notes seem to have become even more interwoven with the original Hampden cask ageing. Everything is wonderfully beautiful, round, intense and well-balanced, the grassiness and earthiness of the Clairin is increasingly merging with the ester notes. Great!

    This experiment with Hampden cask worked really well and brought out the best out of the two worlds.
