The best way to finish a hard working day in monselice 😏 Need some time to fully open. Very nice, solid, classic style clairin
Review by Timo Groeger
Oh ja, top dieser Rum. Schöner Haitianer. In der Nase kommt gleich die Fruchtigkeit hoch und auch den Agricole kann man gut riechen. Im Gaumen genauso, kommt noch ein schöner pflanzlicher Geschmack hinzu. Alkohol gut eingebunden. Top Rum 👍
Review by Leo Tomczak
Tropical fruit bomb. Almost too intense. Definitely needs time. Delicious in cocktails.

Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Clairin Sunday, first one I ever had. Very fresh and fruity, a fruit bomb, complimented by the vegetal notes. I can imagine a great cocktails, but I can imagine having this as a standalone. Need to compare to another Clairins. Thanks Leo for the sample.
