Velier Casimir Clairin Ansyen (11. German Rum Festival) 2019
Lemony citrus, cane grass and a big hit of varnish and ester open this aged Casimir clairin — one taster went straight from the tasting to the booth to buy it. Three-plus years in wood adds a light oakiness and, for some, a creamy toffee edge. A few find the fermented-citrus acidity a touch sharp, but most call it fresh, fruity and "herrlich rund."
The community says- Bright citrus fruit
- Big ester funk
- But: Sour fermented-citrus edge

Fresh, ester-heavy aged Haitian clairin Members love this fresh, ester-heavy Haitian clairin for its citrus and cane fruit; several compare it to Long Pond or Hampden. The main gripe is a sour, sometimes unrounded edge.

Review by Nivius
Diser rum here is the madness, the only point deduction he gets because he is a little too sour and too unround. In the nose you want to think of the Esterlastigkeit almost, you have to do it with a DOK and vlt it would have done him really good to be tamed a few more years of wood and Clairins I've seen anyway no particularly long stored.But it is one of my absolute favorites from last year.The nose is so orange, vanilla, Some wood and lots of ester and more ester .... and even more ester..... In the mouth it goes on with the esters, there Come then still so fermented pineapple, mango, papaya to it and a sour woodiness and somewhere is there even Saffran ? I like! I really hope that there are more Clairins of the caliber.
Review by Mentalo
Fruchtige Nase. Am Gaumen dann sehr viel Säure und Frucht. Manchmal erinnert er mich an einen Hampden. Dazu auch ne Rauchnote, die aber noch nicht als störend empfunden habe. Der Abgang dann leider etwas unrund. Da kommen immer wieder sprittige Noten durch. Ich finde aber, dieser Clairin Casimir hat durchaus Potenzial, wenn er noch bisschen reifen darf.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This one was part of the VIP tasting at the German Rum Fest and I went straight to the booth and bought one as soon as the tasting was over. An extremely fresh Agricole well rounded and fruity with all those lovely Agricole notes. Price to quality is very good. The coolest thing was that we got to label the bottle ourselves 😊
Review by Alex1981
Great agricole with the right amount of wood influence. Feel like longer aging would turn this wirse. Nice fruityness with the typical fresh grassy notes, some soices from the wood and gentle sweetness. Gets more complex over time, the long finish gives opportunity to explore. Really like this!
Review by Michael Schillheim
Letztes Jahr auf dem 11. GRF während eines Tastings probiert und aufgrund der Reizüberflutung erstmal durchgefallen. Nun ein Jahr später finde ich ihn interessant. Eine schöne, frische Aromenvielfalt. Aber am Ende des Tages stört mich dann doch die Säure von vergorenen Zitrusfrüchten.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Blind tasting. Had guessed LP. 🙈 At the Velier tasting on the 11th GRF I found him not good at all, but now already much better.Update 2022-10-10:Once again had in the glass, now of course with the knowledge of which rum it is. And again as with our very first encounter on the GRF the rum does not turn me on. Is just too sour for me.glass not finished. 🤷♂️
Review by Christian Rudt
Wirklich tolle Abfüllung zum German Rumfest. irgendwie mag ich wohl Casimir ich sollte mehr davon trinken 😊 Zum Glück ist hier noch viel vom ungezähmten Ausgangsprodukt zu finden eingerahmt in eine leichte holzigkeit ist das ganze wunderbar aromatisch. Wie gut das es Clairin gibt.🇭🇹😋
Review by Thunderbird
Auf dem letzten Rum-Festival für sehr gut befunden und gekauft (wir durften ihn selbst labeln 🙂)! Heute die Flasche geöffnet und ich muss sagen, dass ich immer noch begeistert bin.. sehr süffig und herrlich rund, für mich eine der besten Casimir-Abfüllungen !
Review by Buddudharma
Interesting Clairin variety, which with its profile after overripe fruit strongly reminds of Jamaica, especially Long Pond. However, is not what I appreciate Clairins, the Jamaicans can do better. Nevertheless, a high-quality rum.
Review by Michael Ihmels 🇩🇪
Ein sehr leckerer Velier aus Haiti. Sowohl in der Nase als auch im Geschmack sind Zitrusfrüchte wie Zitrone gut zu erkennen. In Abgang leicht holzig. Aber sehr lecker und zu empfehlen. Würde ich mir wieder Kaufen
Review by zabo
Endlich bin ich jetzt dazu gekommen diesen zu probieren. Schön süffig, viel mehr braucht man dazu eigentlich nicht sagen. Für den damaligen Preis ein absoluter Preiskracher. Von mir eine klare Empfehlung.
Review by Leo Tomczak
Nicely aged Clairin. Varnish and tropics in the nose.In the taste then the whiskey barrel.Nice exclusive Clairin for a narrow price.
Review by Johannes
Wow! A great, complex, fruity rhum! On the palate a mixture of Long Pond, Hampden and fruity white Agricole!
