How does this rum taste?
- schön fruchtig mit pflanzlichen Noten
- Sehr komplexe Nase & Geschmack
- hat auch für Daiquiri oder Ti-Punch genug Power
Clairin Sajous stands out for its vibrant vegetal and floral notes matched with a distinct sugarcane character. The nose is described as both "schön fruchtig mit pflanzlichen Noten" (Mentalo) and at times, "a gluey smell quite difficult to get past" (seefarr), while many find the profile fresh and filled with citrus, lime, and even olive. On the palate, it's consistently fresh, fruity—with highlights of mango and pear—alongside grassy and sugarcane-driven undertones. The finish is typically short and dry, sometimes called sharp or with peppery warmth, and while several praise the integration, others feel "Alkoholintegration ist leider nicht ganz so gut" (Mentalo). Overall this is often seen as the most balanced of the white Clairins, equally at home neat or in a Daiquiri.

To Chelo
"Casimir 2016: Complex from the nose to the finish with herbal and fruity estery notes. A fruity dirtiness emerges on the finish, which is quite long for an unaged rum and becomes increasingly mineral. Sajous: The 6% abv is characterized by more volume on the palate. The rum is somewhat more demanding and less complex, also with vegetal notes and even more light and yellow fruits. The finish is somewhat spicy with a hint of lemon cake. White Clairins are great rums! It would be a dream if all varieties were available in 20 cl bottles."
"for me the best sajous and the best clairin still! mango Madness, with light umami note, some white chocolate, pepper and fresh lime and discreetly smoky. incredibly Sweetffig and mega in the daiquiri."
"First white rum from Haiti tested on a split. I was very surprised, being used to white rums from the French West Indies. It is very vegetal, mineral and on citrus fruits. Some notes of mangoes and a smoked finish. Nice discovery, to be tested in ti punch."
"Looking at the price tag you get a lot for your money with this release. A very fresh and floral nose with lots of fruit and and sweet pastries. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass is really nice. Even the day after there are still some notes left in the glass."
