Velier Casimir Clairin Ansyen 52 Months (Kirsch Import) 2018
Clairin drinkers who want the cane-juice funk with a bit more polish will find their bottle here. This Casimir rests in a Caroni cask, though several members shrug that the tar barely shows — what you get instead is glue and rubber on the nose, then cherry, honey and grassy tropical fruit on a fresh, lightly salty palate. At 49.4% the heat stays in check. Fruity and dirty in equal measure, and easier than a raw clairin.
The community says- Fruity and fresh
- Balanced funk
- But: Caroni barely shows

The look inside the bottle
How does Velier Casimir Clairin Ansyen 52 Months (Kirsch Import) 2018 taste?
Aggregated from 9 community reviews.
Fruity, lightly dirty clairin with faint Caroni Well-liked for its fruit-forward balance and gentle funk, though most tasters agree the promised Caroni cask hardly comes through. A very good pour, not a top-shelf one.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4518 09.12.2023 This is a nice and fruity rum in good balance. The palate is fresh and lightly salty with light citrus notes. The finish is medium long with light olive and a faint smoky note. The empty glass has a faint rubber nlte and light caramel.
Review by Johannes
Schön würzig, fruchtig, Ester, Zitrus. Von Caroni kann ich nichts schmecken oder riechen.
Review by Benoit Mahe
You can smell the Caroni on the nose, but not so much on the palate. Quite a lot of fruit and sweetness. Very nice.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Ähnlich wie der vaval. Sehr fruchtig mit ein bisschen mehr Power. Das Caroni Fass kann ich aber nicht wirklich rausschmecken :D
Review by Boletus
Vom Geruch bis zum Abgang wird hier ein gefälliges Wechselspiel zwischen buttriger Süße, Würze, Früchten und leicht schmutzigen Tendenzen abgeliefert. Durchaus eine schöne Sache!
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Ročník 2018. S 8,2 z 10 jde o velmi dobrou lahev, byť ne špičku mého žebříčku.
