Most peopleound this one likthe crcrof Claitian white rums, with a few calling it their favorite Clairin — but it splits neat drinkers. The nose comes at you with glue, ester, grass and a "rotten" funk; the palate is grassy and oily with pear, herbs and sugarcane. Several say it shines in a Ti Punch or daiquiri but only "bedingt" charms them straight.
The community says- Fruity, grassy nose
- Glue-ester funk

How does Velier Casimir Clairin 2018 taste?
Summarized by AI from 18 community reviews.
Grassy, funky Haitian white for Ti Punch Members lean warm on this — fruity, grassy and full of glue-ester funk. Great in Ti Punch or daiquiri; a couple find it unbalanced and a touch hot to sip neat.

Then a nice Clairin to round off the day. I think it's a great rum. I think the nose is great, beautifully herbal, somehow rotten and some ester is recognizable. The palate is also very herbal, a little fruity and sugar cane is also recognizable.

Rotten on the nose, also yoghurt and sugar cane, some esters. The palate initially tastes of meadow, then pear, herbs and a hint of sake unfold. Meadow again on the finish. Alcohol well integrated. A crazy combination, as with all the Clairins tested today
Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
A great white rum! Great to taste and to mix for a cocktail.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Just my thing! Beguilingly fruity on the nose. Powerful on the palate, long lasting. Grassy? I don't taste any grass. 🤷♂️ Definitely incredible in Ti Punch. Who makes me one? 😉
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Not too bad actually and pretty good for a young white rum. Price to quality is also very good on this bottle. The nose also hits you right in the face from pouring then fruity with sugarcane, spices and grass. As it rests it settles a bit. The palate is warm and oily with fruits, spices and grass trailed by herbs and light mint. The finish is medium long and warm with apple, spices and a vegetal note.
Review by Fuwi
Nice Clairin, not as crazy as other unaged representatives, yet the nose full of glue, esters and meadow. This is confirmed on the palate and tongue, sugarcane, grass and overripe fruit, nice ester notes and well integrated alcohol. I have to try it in cocktails, neat quite drinkable and only partly something for just chilling on the sofa.
Review by Leo Krüper
Lots of glue. Lots of yellow and green fruits. But overall quite unbalanced. Surely ingenious Ti Punch or Daiquiri possible with this. Pure, it has a hard time convincing me. In fact, a slight burn in the finish.
Review by F.L.O.
Right after Sajous, the next best unaged Clairin for me. Fruity and simply delicious. Great neat and for mixing.
Review by thomas fraboulet
Fruity & complex, my favorite Clairin by far. Nose is fruity & sugar cane, palate is ester & grass, finish is a bit spicy & vetegal. Really good in ti punch and fantastic value as I got a bottle for 33€. Vegetal & tropical funk, really unique
Review by Djehey
I prefer the Vaval.freshness but weak length in mouth.aromas of overripe fruits hover during all the tasting.
