    Clairin nice and dirty like the Vaval and Le Rocher.These white rums I love them and I can taste real rum in them without too many refinements just like in the pirate days. Sure they are not refined nor easy, but they are authentic!

    Great Clairin with exciting mushroom-fruit combination.

    Real nice one from clairin! I have to say the rum from renegade are very similar to those from clairin. This is very fruity, floral.. The alcohol is not so present as on other bottling, which makes this a really good sipper

    This is another good Clairin that I can recommend if you like Clairin. Price to quality is very good. The nose is fresh and sweet with strawberries, grass and a light mineral note. The palate is oily and fruity with salty licorice, sugarcane as well ans light notes of tobacco, mineral and smoke. The finish is long with smoky wood, salty licorice and a hint of tobacco.
