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 Giorgio Garotti
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!
Review by Han
Erwachsener und milder als ungelagerte Clairins. Sehr spannend - insbesondere am Gaumen sehr schön und entspannt, gleichzeitig spannend
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)

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 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...
