Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
At the price tag this is a pretty decent Clairin. A bit unbalanced in my mind. The nose has overripe fruits and sugarcane followed by grass and floral notes as well as a light touch of anise. The palate is warm with salty licorice, grass, apple, anise as well as a hint of anise and leather. The finish is medium long and warm with grass, leather and a hint of leather as well as a floral note.
Review by Kay Meertens
This is funky. It took me some getting used to as I'm not so familiar with unaged spirits, but even though it tastes a little 'schnappsy' it's so different and interesting with more to be discovered than in many aged rums. The nose is 'warm', like apple compote that has just been made. Or perhaps more pear than apple. On stewed meat with apple syrup, anise and cinnamon. In the taste it's more obvious that there's no maturity, with white pepper. The finish is long and warm with now also plum, fig, litchi and liquorice. After having tried more unaged rums and Clairin, I'm more and more finding out how exceptionally fruity it is.
Review by Michal S
V přímém srovnání se Sajousem ze stejného roku o poznání méně zajímavý. Pořád je tam tráva, sůl a troška anýzu, ale ovocité chutě jsou pryč.
