Curious Clairin drinkers who want to see what five years in oak does to Haitian cane juice — that's the audience here. The nose leans floral and grassy, closer to an aged agricole than the raw, dirty clairin you might expect. On the palate: olive, honeyed sweetness, earthy notes and a charred, roasted-banana finish. Well-integrated at 47.5%, but several tasters found the wild edges too tamed.
The community says- Signature olive note
- Alcohol integrated
- But: Tamed funk

How does Velier Casimir Clairin Vieux Casimir (LMDW) 2016 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Oak-aged clairin, milder than the raw stuff Owners like it but keep expectations in check — the cask smoothed out the raw clairin character several came for. Interesting to try; a few prefer the unaged bottlings.

I had so many expectations in this rum but I was very disappointed! Very flat in flavor and gives you little emotion, plus all the special features that unaged casimir has here I find them very little! Really a great pity!

19.11.2021 Celebrating my birthday at a bygone local bar with dinner as part of the experience. Notes Light in colour. Nose Fresh, fruity, banana, light grass, sugarcane, light tea, light olive. Palate Light wood, light sour, orange, fruity, olive, light salty, raisin, sugarcane. Finish Medium to long, fresh, balanced, light wood, faint roasted, olive, light salty, light earthy.
Review by Christoph
On the nose, it goes in the direction of an Agricole VSOP and is not as "dirty" as I know Clairin otherwise. In the taste then come through rather notes that I already had with many Clairin, eg olive. Somewhat earthy. Downright charred in the finish. In the finish comes roasted banana.
Review by Rodolphe
Mwah. It's not bad, but it's interesting to discover. Because, quite frankly, if you want a nice Agricole, well, you can easily find something much better, much cheaper and findable! Hype for an investor's product rather than a rum lover's...
Review by Han
More mature and milder than unaged Clairins. Very exciting - especially on the palate very nice and relaxed, yet exciting at the same time.
Review by mto75
I like it quite a lot. Less the typical Clairin notes on the nose, but rather floral, perhaps also aniseed. On the palate, the cask comes through a little more strongly, but still a good balance to the earthy notes and a slight (honey) sweetness. I would describe the cask maturation experiment as a success here (which has not worked out very well with other Clairins)
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2016. With 8.5 out of 10, it belongs to the better ones I've had in my glass.
Review by Thunderbird
A pleasant and unspectacular Clairin... not as edgy as usual.
Review by Giuseppe Ambrosio
I had slightly higher expectations. In the glass, it appears quite viscous; On the nose, you can tell it’s Clairin but it’s missing something, it’s less funky compared to other bottlings; On the palate, the alcohol is quite integrated. At first, it’s more sharp but over time it becomes a bit gentler. Like the nose, the palate is the same; The finish is medium and not too long. All in all, not bad but I prefer other aged Clairin bottlings.
