    How does this rum taste?

    Clairin Ansyen Sajous (Bielle Cask) from the Chelo distillery in Haiti, expertly bottled by Velier, offers a unique profile. Distilled from sugarcane juice using a pot still and aged for three years, this rum has a 54.6% ABV. Users appreciate its rich aroma dominated by raisin, roasted notes, and subtle tobacco. The taste presents a blend of oak and creaminess with mocha undertones. Opinions vary on its complexity, with some finding the cask influence overshadowing typical Clairin funk. Users often praise its mild sweetness and balance, deeming it a fair purchase, especially appealing after some oxidation.

    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.
