     This is a rum that will separate waters as an either you like it or not. Right out of the bottle it can be pungent to some, but after resting for a while it becomes more gentle and light. Fruity with medicinal notes are there from nose to finish. There is also oak and spice in the mix. Price to quality can be discussed all the way to the bank :-)

     Chelo Velier Clairin Vieux Sajous je unikátní rum z produkce Haiti, který vyniká svým přírodním procesem výroby a autentickým charakterem. Ve vůni se objevují výrazné tóny tropického ovoce, vanilky a citrusů, doplněné náznaky koření, květinových tónů a olivového nádechu. Medicinální aroma dodává zajímavou hloubku. Chuť je suchá a kořeněná s tóny pepře, dřeva a tropického ovoce, kde citrusové prvky dodávají svěžest. Lehce minerální podtón spolu s medicinálními a dřevitými akcenty vytvářejí harmonický a dlouhotrvající dojem.
