How does this rum taste?
RumX members love Clairin Sonson for its fresh sugarcane core with olive brine, mineral and salty touches, lifted by floral and fruity notes. The 53.2% Haitian clairin drinks clean and lively, with earthy, smoky hints and a long, savory finish. Often enjoyed neat (some suggest letting it rest) and also great in a daiquiri. With 119 community reviews and strong buyer confidence, it’s a popular, characterful sipper.

Bang rum and one of my favorites. Nose strongly of olive and black truffle (yes, really). Also slightly burnt on the palate. Yummy.
Very good and complex Haitian rum. Probably my favourite. Not so many esters unfortunately but still a marvellous choice, bang for a buck and great sipper as well
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.
