    How does this rum taste?

    Clairin Ansyen, crafted in Haiti at the Le Rocher distillery and bottled by Velier, offers a complex profile at 48.6% ABV. Distilled from sugar cane juice, this rum's aroma reveals pineapple, citrus, and smoky notes, accentuated by vegetal and tropical undertones. Its taste features dominant marmalade, complemented by roasted almonds and pineapple, with hints of citrus and roasted flavors. Users have highlighted its surprising depth, with associations to whiskey and a fragrance reminiscent of Hampden. This Clairin showcases unique aging influences, creating an intriguing and flavorful experience, though some find it lacks the signature Clairin rawness, leaning towards more familiar profiles.

    Mischung aus Zitrone und Marmelade. Im Abgang Leder und fleischig. Interessanter Clairin.

    The nose is dominated by apple, freshly picked and not washed with vegetal notes.In the mouth pleasantly sweet citrus jam with toasty hints and a touch of menthol which continues to hold in the finish.In between emerges here and there always a cheese note, does not have to be for me, but is exciting.All in all a really tasty Clairin

    Die erste Nase überrascht mit ranzige Butter, Assoziationen zum Hampden Great House 2020 werden wach. Am Gaumen dann Schinken und Rauch! Der Räucherschinken wandert dominant in den Nachklang hinüber. Dies Art von Profil kannte ich bisher nur von Whisky! Alkoholische Schärfe ist nie zu spüren, sehr guter Rum!

    Number 6 from the community tasting. Thanks Rumtata! Jamaica from Haiti - blindly I would have packed this into the Mid-East range from Trewlany. The rum is fruity and very round. This is delicious, but also a bit unspectacular because the Clairin-specific but very much in the background.
