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!

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.

sagt mir leider nicht so wirklich zu. an der Nase erstmal Gurke und Klebstoff, dazu etwas Himbeeren und Lakritz?! erstmal gut aber geschmacklich dann leider so gar nicht meins... eher eine alte Gurke, und bittere, alte Minze, leichte zitrusnoten, Lakritz, viel Säure, etwas salzig und insgesamt viel zu Essig-lastig und mir zu sauer und zu vergoren und modrig. aber dennoch eine spannende weitere, wiederum komplett andere Stilistik als die anderen 5 clairins und daher eine spannende Erweiterung! Im daiquiri geht das ganze dann geschmacklos in Richtung Himbeersorbet mit Essiggurkenwasser, auf ne perverse Art geil aber da muss man echt Bock drauf haben 🤣

Tastes a bit like a mix of Sajous and Vaval. We liked it just as much. Very pleasing to drink!

Good, but best for Cocktails, too raw when pure. Update: really enjoyable neat after having a Hampden C<>H and a bit of Oxidation.

Knaller Rum und einer meiner Lieblinge. Nase stark nach Olive und schwarzem Trüffel (ja, echt). Auch leicht verbrannt am Gaumen. Lecker.

Der Sanson hat an der Nase eine ausgeprägte Wurzel-Pilz-Vinegar Note. Am Gaumen Erde und Kartoffeln. Der Communal und der Sajous gefallen mir besser, da sie mehr Frische mitbringen.

Nase: sauer eingelegtes Gemüse Gaumen: relativ fruchtig und gefällig, aber auch irgendwie leicht und gleichförmig, nicht so überraschend wie die Nase; Der Clairin Casimir aus demselben Jahr (RX11461) sagt mir eindeutig mehr zu.

A sure value. This iodized and wild side is really well done

Je préfère le nez à la bouche. Le laisser un peu reposer avant de le déguster.

The nose is a cracker, all strawberries, and overripe mango. The mouth is olive brine and salty with earthy and vegetal elements and less of the fruit than the nose would suggest. Medium long finish which is again salty and savoury. It’s better for me than sajous but a different barrel of fish and still hard to place in terms of quality. Based on the nose I was excited but doesn’t quite deliver, the savoury salty mouth and finish is certainly unusual

Da es nicht mein erster Clairin ist kann ich sagen passt ins Clairin Profil. Wobei hier Erde und mineralische Noten dominieren. Im Abgang etwas fleischig.

The nose is fresh and very vegetal. No smokiness here, but citrus fruits. Freshly mown grass, hay, olives and some iodized notes. We are on a more conventional Clairin and less heavy than Le Rocher. The attack in mouth is spicy-peppery. It is floral and on the fresh cane. It is round and pleasant to taste with fruity notes (citrus-tropical fruits), complexed by iodine-mineral notes. The finish is on the other hand moderately long on earthy notes. Personally, I find this Sonson very nice. It is more accessible than its cousin Le Rocher.
