Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4516 09.12.2023 Just brought the missus to the plane and now it's time to party a bit,but first the impressions from yesterday's tasting ☺️ This is yet another nice release with s very fresh and green profile. The palate is spicy /warm and fruity. The finish is medium to long with a touch of ginger. The empty glass has light pepper and very light smoke.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A singular clairin profile, not easy to tame at first. The nose develops a blend of aromatic herbs, earthy vegetation, tomato and sugarcane, before becoming more medicinal, iodized and mineral. It seems almost synthetic in the long run. The atypical profile continues on the palate with an explosion of vegetal, earthy and spicy notes. Saffron, paprika, basil and pumpkin combine with sugarcane, while the more fermented, phenolic and mineral side gains intensity on the palate. This is an intense, highly concentrated clairin. The alcohol is quite well integrated, but it could be better. The finish is long, still focused on the vegetal, earthy part, while the medicinal notes are calmer and more measured. Basil and sugarcane are pleasant on the finish, bringing a touch of delicacy to this rather rustic profile. Not recommended for beginners, this clairin will nevertheless be a profile to try for anyone interested in Haiti.
Review by Mc Pirate
Discreet nose with light but pleasant esters. Very vegetal, earthy and dry on the palate. Herbaceous finish!
