    Dirty like many Clairins. These Haitian rums are not for sensitive palates. They can be aggressive just like this Vaval, but tasting after tasting you learn to appreciate and love them. If aerated for a while it is better.

    Northern Lights Meeting 2025: Super fresh on the nose: grass, sugar cane, fresh meadow. Then fruit and sugar. Sweetish, fresh, lime and a hint of eucalyptus on the palate. The finish is short but fruity. I like it!

    03.04.2020 Nice private tasting with a new group of rummies. Notes. Transparent in colour. Nose Fresh, tomato, olive, clove, light licorice, light citrus. Palate Fresh, warm, olive, citrus, ginger, light licorice, mint. Finish Medium long, spicy/warm, ginger, light licorice, faint rubber.

    This is powerful stuff! Rich and pungent rotting tropical earth and fruit. Great clairin.
