Velier Casimir Clairin 2018
Most peopleound this one likthe crcrof Claitian white rums, with a few calling it their favorite Clairin — but it splits neat drinkers. The nose comes at you with glue, ester, grass and a "rotten" funk; the palate is grassy and oily with pear, herbs and sugarcane. Several say it shines in a Ti Punch or daiquiri but only "bedingt" charms them straight.
The community says- Fruity, grassy nose
- Glue-ester funk
- Hot finish

How does Velier Casimir Clairin 2018 taste?
Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Grassy, funky Haitian white for Ti Punch Members lean warm on this — fruity, grassy and full of glue-ester funk. Great in Ti Punch or daiquiri; a couple find it unbalanced and a touch hot to sip neat.

Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
A great white rum! Great to taste and to mix for a cocktail.
Review by F.L.O.
Direkt nach dem Sajous der nächst beste ungelagerte Clairin für mich. Fruchtig und einfach lecker. Pur und zum Mixen.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Just my thing! Beguilingly fruity on the nose. Powerful on the palate, long lasting. Grassy? I don't taste any grass. 🤷♂️ Definitely incredible in Ti Punch. Who makes me one? 😉
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Not too bad actually and pretty good for a young white rum. Price to quality is also very good on this bottle. The nose also hits you right in the face from pouring then fruity with sugarcane, spices and grass. As it rests it settles a bit. The palate is warm and oily with fruits, spices and grass trailed by herbs and light mint. The finish is medium long and warm with apple, spices and a vegetal note.
Review by Djehey
I prefer the Vaval.freshness but weak length in mouth.aromas of overripe fruits hover during all the tasting.
Review by Leo Tomczak
Lots of glue. Lots of yellow and green fruits. But overall quite unbalanced. Surely ingenious Ti Punch or Daiquiri possible with this. Pure, it has a hard time convincing me. In fact, a slight burn in the finish.
