Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
Starting from the fact that you cannot compare white rums with aged rums for obvious organoleptic reasons, this clairin sajous is really crazy! I currently prefer them to their aged version. Rich in esters, olive, mineral (tastes like the sea) and complex. Magic!!! I could give much more if there was a distillation between white and amber rums.
Review by ccajerem
👃 une fois aéré pendant quelques minutes ses notes florales saisissent. On se croirait dans un champ de fleurs au Printemps. Quelques notes citronnées également. 👄 bouche puissante, belle intensité aromatique avec un rappel de ces notes florales et légèrement citronnée. Finale moyennement longue mais très agréable. Ce clairin est séduisant de par sa singularité et sa personnalité.
Review by Godspeed
It's always an exciting time with clairins sajous. Wild fermentation brings such a difference in character that each year can be totally different rums. This is one of the good years, even if it may be a little too dry for some people's tastes. Very tasty and very drinkable, even neat. I've put it on the classic cocktail battery too: Ti-punch: 3/5 Daiquiri: 3/5 Donga punch: 4/5 Rum sour: 5/5 (seriously, one of the best tested to date, on a par with rum sours made with Foursquare or Savanna) Very friendly.
Review by Léo Delek
Still the usual buttery, metallic notes of clairins, but with less fruit and more floral and spicy notes. It's more agricultural, with lemon zest too.
Review by passlemix
Very little alcohol on the nose. What a lovely cane nose. Very intense nose. A little fat, hay, I also have olive in brine 🙂 it's floral and herbaceous too on the palate but I also have banana. Very nice rum. The alcohol on the palate is also very well integrated and I find that rather amazing for a white rum at over 56 degrees!
Review by jamdram
Punchy, pleanty of funky fermented fruit coupled with medicinal / antiseptic. Hints of glue, burnt rubber & smoke. Stains the plaette long after finishing!
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Vraiment sympa, même si pas le plus original.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Vegetable nose: olive/brine Salty mouthfeel: iodine/olive Earthy finish Nice, but nothing more, especially to finish. But why didn't I stop at the Kill Devil!
Review by Djehey
Good but not my favorite clairin
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Nose still fruity, palate then rather smoky. You miss nothing if you do not try it. Certainly not bad, but leaves no lasting impression on me.
