Velier Chelo Clairin Ansyen Sajous 37 mois 2017
"Velier does it again," one member sums up, and most here agree. Aged Haitian clairin from cane juice: grassy and mineral on the nose, then oily on the palate with berries, tobacco and a light roasted-oak note. Several tasters call it their favourite daily sipper, dry and herbal rather than sweet. The one recurring gripe is a sour, acidic edge on the finish.

Dry, grassy Haitian clairin with an oily body Well-liked as a dry, complex agricole punching above its three years — only knock is the sour clairin note some find nagging on the finish.

Review by Buddudharma
Everything is just right here: great mouthfeel, high complexity for only 3 years of maturation, interesting flavor profile with a good balance between wood and the clairin, alcohol well integrated, super PLV. More of this please!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Velier does it again. The nose is fruity with tobacco and some roasted notes. There is an acidic/sour touch to the nose. The palate is warm and oily with fruit, coffee and a hint of tobacco. The wood note is very light and nice. Medium to long finish that is warm and woody with some berries. Price to quality is OK.
Review by Oliver
Very nice aged Clairin. The Bielle barrel brings a great depth and complexity in the glass.
Review by Jakob
Extremely exciting nose, almost reminiscent of rhum rhum or wine finishes. However, the rum cask is also present and brings a beautiful woody aroma. On the palate there is a nice smokiness, unfortunately the promise of the nose does not quite match the palate impression. Nevertheless, a very exciting bottling!
