Velier Casimir & Vaval & Sajous & Le Rocher Clairin Communal Blend des Quatres Communes
Anyone curious about clairin but scared off by the wild single-distillery bottles should start here. Blending four Haitian communes rounds off the sharpest edges, so you get grassy sugarcane, ripe banana, citrus and a little olive brine without getting knocked over. Several tasters call it a gentle way in; a few wish it had more punch. Great mixed or sipped.

- Fresh, fruity nose

Bel rum bianco! Ottimo da bere miscelato e liscio. Il prezzo sotto i 30 euro lo rendono un'ottima scelta! Meno aggresivo degli altri clairin è probabilmente il più amabile insieme al Sajous.

Agricole smell with lot of cheese and cream. I tried also WPE and it smells the same. Ok, let´s move on. The taste is rough, very fresh, sweet but strangely unpleasant. The aftertaste is grassy with vanilla, like whole impression of this rum.
Review by Timo Groeger
Next, and for today the last Clairin. In any case, the nose is again very herbal, as well as slightly fruity, especially citrus fruits. The palate is also herbal, but also grassy and floral again.
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
The nose is typical Clairin. Lots of vinegar and fruits with smoke towards the end. Its very inviting. A little like a Mezcal. The palate is more vegetal than fruity. Lots of salty olives notes. Very similar to agave based spirit. Some sweet ginger hanging around in the mix. The finish keeps things in the fresh, green area but with some fruitcake and a lingering smoke. It's a very good introduction to Clairin. A little too thin compared to other Clairins I've had but it holds up.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#5111 15.02.2025 Running a few samples at home. Nose Fresh, sugarcane, lightly sweet, vegetal, fruits, light citrus, light grass. Palate Fresh, sweet, round, faint smoke, light grass, fruits, light olive, light salt, spice, light herbal, oily. Finish Medium long, fresh, round, oily, light citrus, light olive, light salt, light herbal. Empty glass Lemon, light grass, sugarcane, light floral.
Review by Christoph
Die Nase ist Agricole pur, im Geschmack dann kandierte Zitrusfrüchte in Kamillentee getaucht. Lässt das ganze etwas „dreckig“ wirken. Der Abgang ist recht medizinisch.
Review by mto75
the Communal brings a nice citrus freshness, besides herbs and floral notes. On the palate, unfortunately, a bit watery, more ABV would have been good here. Does not quite come up to the Sajous (alone).
Review by Eric Frechin
Au nez , à l ouverture du sample j ai directement une odeur de fumé qui part à l aération. Il y a la canne et fruité poire pour le côté agréable et le végétal / floral pour le démarquer. J ai aussi un côté légume doux comme le panais.j aime beaucoup moins la bouche dominée par le végétal-floral -légume. J ai un petit retour du fumé en fin de bouche.vu son tarif, il ne faut pas être trop exigeant non plus !
Review by Johannes
Exciting, but not quite my cup of tea. Too much olive for me.
Review by Oliver
Beautiful Clairin at a top price.Perfect mix of different Clairin styles!
Review by Christian Rudt
Clairin united and unseasoned. Sounds exciting and it is. In the nose predominates sugar cane and fruit, on the palate then clearly more floral and also spicy with some medicine in the finish.mit Sicherheit ne interesting variant in cocktails.
Review by Thunderbird
Catchy, but somehow too tame for a real Clairin! A few percent are clearly missing
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un clairin d’assemblage multifacette et plutôt sympathique. Les arômes s’ouvrent au nez sur des notes florales et herbacées qui poussent vers l’herbe sèche (foin) et le jus de canne bien fermenté. Les fruits (banane et agrumes) ne sont pas très loin et apportent un peu de douceur à ce profil sec et de caractère. En bouche, le palette aromatique reprend les mêmes et s’élargit sur la camomille, l’abricot, le piment et les esters. On a un rhum doux, à la texture crémeuse et agréable en bouche mais qui manque un peu de complexité au global. L’alcool est bien intégré pour le taux. La finale, de longueur modérée, est tiraillée entre les influences végétales et florales de la canne à sucre et les séquences plus chaudes, épicées et médicinales. La banane et le citron se font ressentir en fin de bouche. C’est peut-être pas la révélation de l’année, mais il reste un bon clairin pour les cocktails.
Review by w00tAN
Oh yes, very nice. Super fresh and fruity, as if freshly squeezed in front of you. Continues in the mouth paired with a nice sweetness. Admittedly a little thin but a great flavor profile. Reminds me a little of Williams pears. The finish remains fresh, mild and fruity. Nice piece
Review by Vincent D
Un petit Clairin plutôt facile à boire, et pas foi bien agréable en ti-punch. Pas besoin du ajouter beaucoup de sucre, il l'est déjà naturellement. Canne à sucre, végétal. Un petit côté cremeux étonnant et quelques notes un peu épicées.
Review by Léo Delek
Vous ne goûterez que très rarement ce profil qui va tirez sa ressemblance tantot avec du grand arome, tantôt avec de l'agricole. On a de la tapenade d'olives, de la canne et des fruits fermentés avec des notes fumées (+++) et beurrées.

Magnifique avec des huîtres.
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Nice nose and pleasant mouthfeel typical of clairins. blind tasting at the Rum Club Paris party (Hôtel Maison Mère)
Review by Henry Davies
The nose promises great things, typical clairin elements with grass and sugarcane alongside some pot still funk notes. Unfortunately for me it goes downhill from there, the mouth is thin and bit metallic, with a soft creamy grass towards the rear of the pallete. The finish picks up a bit with robust spice and some softer grapefruit flavours. It’s a bit brash and untamed, although maybe to be expected. Hard to argue at the price but it’s not one I will return to
Review by thomas fraboulet
Really good quality for price, complex and fresh. Punch above its abv. You can taste the "Terroir", it is floral & a bit earthy, some fruits, really complex. Clairins are really unique and got this one for 23€ so really happy about the quality of the juice
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
beautiful Clairin blend and very accessible. on the nose tropical fruit vinegar, on the palate, also some fruit vinegar with lots of herbs, some chili and peppers, and baked banana with grapefruit....
Review by Jack M
Tasted at the UK RumFest, and not a fully in depth tasting - overall impressions were that it’s a very smooth rum and the blending of the four Clairins averages out some of the quirkier smells and tastes which makes it more readily approachable. It was smooth and would be great in a daiquiri. The woman on the Velier & LMDW stand was great, really knowledgeable and clearly enthusiastic about their rums.

Review by Michal S
The lower voltage makes the rum less interesting. The aroma is solid (sugar cane, plants, a bit of fruit), mixing the different ingredients, but the taste is just average and you won't find much interesting in it. I rather recommend the separate clairins.
Review by ordogh
Smooth agricole-ish white rum with mostly vegetal notes and some fruitiness and medicinal bitterness at the end.
Review by Stijn Zino
Brussels Rhum Festival 15/03/2025 Vegetal. Would love to taste this as a mixer.
Review by Amit Bentabou
OH MY! That one stinks! I wasn't ready for this one! On the nose I get rotten fruit and overripe banana and apple, some brined olives, fresh cut grass and hay. Similiar on the palate, yet more palatable than I anticipated based on the smell. Sorry, the stink. The finish is sweet, grassy and non-existant after 2 seconds at most. I love funk, really. But this one seems to be over the top without any taming. Sure it'll have its fans, but unfortunately it won't be me.
Review by Emilien
Dans ma quête des blancs ,j'ai acheté ce Clairin communal,blend des quatres communes (Baradères, Cavaiillon, Pignon , Saint Michel). Acheté à 34€+- je vois qu'il est à 28€+- chez spirit academy. Nez: floral ,floral , agrume. Bouche: fumé,floral, végétal, fruité Finale: floral , fumé Verre vide: fumé, floral Conclusion: très bon qualité prix et bon mixeur .Recommandé.
Review by Markus Fjellstad Israelsen
Found the nose very interesting, very fruity and/or floral. The taste was excellent, vegetal with fruits and flowers, quite different from other rums I have tasted so far. Think it will mix well and as a neat sipper.

Review by Solidfunk
Big vanilla, fermented coconut. Big on the initial aroma then it just kind of dies, which is quite the contrast. Light finish, just kind of falls off. Water white pour. Had a glass of this at Casta's. 7.5

Great value for money rum
Review by Han
Der wilde Bruder des Agricole - durchaus dunkler, rauer, wilder — und sehr lecker!
Review by Jus Liens
Sample goûté en canicule, rhum chaud. Dès l'ouverture du sample, le bureau de 10m2 sent le rhum. Nez: c'est un clairin. C'est sauvage, un peu animal. Bouche: j'aime beaucoup. On est un gros cran en dessous d'un "le rocher" mais c'est déjà très bon. Sous bois, réglisse, foin, fermentation et champignons, un rhum pour amateurs de saké. Finale: courte. Sans grand intérêt. On conserve un peu de sous bois et de réglisse mais c'est faible. Alors : bien meilleur que beaucoup de rhum mais le rocher est bien meilleur pour un peu plus cher. A ne prendre que si c'est le seul clairin de la boutique, et c'est déjà pas mal !
Review by Cino
Interesting clairin. Herbaceous, medicinal and spicy notes with a slight smokiness. Edgy but never too much. For the price recommended.
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
15/03/25: tasted @ Brussels Rhum Festival. I was pleasantly surprised by this Clairin blend. Good ABV for beginners. I'm starting to appreciate Clairins more and more. Might have to revisit my initial thoughts on the other ones (like Sajous).
Review by Matt Twopointoh
This is the only agricole that I have ever tasted that I like, and look forward to drinking more of. Every other agricole I have or tasted, I suffered through the experience until this one. I am looking forward to picking up some more Haitian single distillery bottles and try them to see if I like any of them best. For the record I love Jamaican rums the funker the better.
Review by Mathew Escott
Usually use it in my daquiri, and it is fantastic.
Review by DaMan
Un bon rhum, Une légère complixitee et suave. Un rapport qté/px intéressant.
Review by Johan Larsson
A very nice sipper. Gentle like a summer wind
Review by Anonymous
Fruity with lots of funk.
Review by Einar Hiller
Fantastic rum, would easily try it out as a substitute for agricole rums in cocktails. Tried it a couple of times in selfmade riffs on summer cocktails with raspberry or passionfruit, and it did not disapoint.
Review by Mc Pirate
Nez assez typique des Clairin de Haïti avec cette « fraîcheur » assez prononcée. Bouche un peu décevante pour moi qui connaît bien le Clairin Sajous qui est une explosion en bouche. Là, pas de surprise, bon mais sans plus. Se révélera peut-être plus en Ti-Punch, à tester. Finale classique sur un peu de chaleur.
Review by Dimitricentenaire
Assemblage de 4 clairin par velier Nez assez spécial avec des notes végétales, de pailles fermenté. Agréable en bouche avec des notes grasses, beurrée
