How does this rum taste?
Most love its elegant mix of cane, dried fruits and Bielle oak. Critics miss some raw Sajous funk and note light bitterness. Consensus: one of the best, most balanced aged Clairins.
If you like Bielle or softer clairins, this balances agricole cane, dried fruit and oak nicely—less wild Sajous, more polished sipper that still rewards an experienced palate.
Beginners sensitive to 54.6% ABV, drinkers seeking big untamed Sajous funk, or those expecting a very fruity, sweet profile from their sipping rums.

For me, still the reference matured Clairins. Perfect balance between distillate and barrel, complex, independent and intense, with well integrated alcohol. At the issue price, a fantastic PLV.
Absolutely successful. Rather sweet and mild.
Very enjoyable and suitable for the occasion this evening.
Weiterhin der beste Clairin, den ich im Glas hatte. Ist sicherlich nicht der komplexeste und der Einfluss des Bielle-Fasses überlagert den Charakter des Sajous. Aber ich mag den Fasseinfluss sehr. Mild, süffig, angenehme Süße, Fruchtigkeit und das zu einem sehr fairen Preis.
