Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
Clairin closer to Sajous in fact has more perfumed notes and is probably the most delicate of all the clairins I have owned.Not surprisingly, the Casimir aged gave excellent results.On the finish there is a slight peatiness mixed with medicinal after a while.Way to go Velier!
Review by HenryL
The nose is a bit too sugar cane heavy for my preference, but I really like the taste, especially the salty minty finish. Is something different.
Review by Christoph
Lemon and minue make a delicious marinade for the bacon in the finish.
Review by Thunderbird
Ein herrlicher angenehmer frischer und pflanzlicher Clairin! Pur und zum Mixen perfekt , der Ti Punch und Daiquiri sind 1a.
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
Number 4 from the community tasting. Thanks RumTaTa!This one is again more on the Jamaican side than the French. Ester and overripe fruits are there, just like fresh herbs and some cucumber.The mouth is also super fruity: citrus and very ripe yellow fruits, green notes keep very much in the background, to then strike again in the finish, but drier and less fresh than in the nose.For me, the best of the aged Clairin from today's Community Tasting.

Köln-Bonner-Rumtasting: zum Glück mal wieder ein ausreißer nach oben. Neben Minze im Gaumen sind vor allem die Erdbeeraromen im Abgang extrem interessant, welche an einen Savanna erinnern. Alkohol gut eingebunden.

Sehr fruchtiger und runder Clairin der ordentlich Spaß macht. Perfekt für einen schönen Cocktail geeignet. Als mixer kann ich den wirklich empfehlen. Preis Leistung ist ebenfalls in Ordnung...........
Review by DosenZorn
Thanks to RumTaTa. Also solid Clairin, but doesn't stand out in comparison and has to rank behind Sajous in my opinion.

25.04.2020 A nice evening out with colleagues and a local liquor shop presenting some nice bottles. Notes Transparent in colour. Nose Fresh, fruity, olive, light smoke, grass, citrus, light floral. Palate Fresh, warm, dried fruit, honey, light smoke, citrus. Finish Medium long, fruity, citrus, herbs, sugarcane.
Review by RumTaTa
Very unusual, I find distinct aromas of resin and freshly sawn softwood on the tongue and finish.
Review by Julien Ries
Voilà un rhum assez clivant. J'ai personnellement un peu de mal avec ce rhum que je trouve trop herbacé. Le fruité ne compense pas assez l'amertume générale. La bouche est d'une grande fraîcheur, mais son côté mentholé, herbe coupée et olive en saumure ne me convient pas.
Review by Felix Reiber
Sehr schöner Clairin und gut integrierter Alkohol. Die Nase ist sehr floral, würzig und natürlich fruchtig. Dann kommen noch interessante Noten von Käse, Oliven und Veilchen. Am Gaumen ist er neben der Süße von Zuckerrohr wieder schön würzig und frisch. Zitrusfrüchte, Salz und viele pflanzliche Noten wie Kräuter, Minze und Gras sind präsent. Dann noch Mango und etwas Leder. Der Mittellange Abgang bietet pflanzliche Noten von Olive, Pflanzensaft und Minze. Über Salz und leichte Holznoten geht er über Joghurt zu Röstaromen und Speck. Die florale Seite hallt noch etwas nach. Dieser Rum macht wirklich Spaß zu trinken und zeigt viele interessante Seiten, welche bei gereiften Produkten nicht so sehr zum Vorschein kommen. Danke für das tolle Sample 😃
Review by Nils123
Gut gemacht, aber mir persönlich ist er zu salzig und speckig im Abgang.
Review by Leo Krüper
Schöne Erdbeere im Abgang
Review by Fuwi
Ein schöner Clairin, der volle Agricole Power mitbringt. Grasige Noten mit Zuckerrohr, dazu salzige Noten mit Olive und würzigem Abgang. Sehr schöne Abfüllung, die recht nah am Sajous ist und sich gut von anderen Vertretern abgrenzt, die teils sehr eigen sind
