Review by Mc Pirate
Nez très végétal, sur la tomate, incontestablement typique des rhums haïtiens. Bouche, franche mais peu agressive avec toujours ses notes de tomates, légumes, peut-être artichauts et les olives qu’on retrouve enfin de bouche.

Palate Oily, round, light vegetal, faint citrus, apple, light mint, faint floral, faint leather. Finish Medium long, fresh, oily, light apple, light vegetal, faint mint.

Review by TheRhumhoe
Vaval's clairins seem to be on a roll, and it's easy to see why with their unaged juices. On the nose, there's the smell of Bolognese sauce, with cooking tomatoes mixed with aromatic herbs, seasoned with spices and cooked long enough for a smokier aftertaste. There's also a medicinal edge, with phenolic notes on the polish. It's original but well mastered. The attack on the palate is even more intense, with a salty, mineral, even coppery side that adds even more character. Sugar cane becomes more present, as does fruit. The earthy, vegetal side is not disturbing, and goes quite well with Bolognese. The profile is rich, elegant and aromatic. The alcohol is very well integrated. The finish is of decent length, with the same zany associations from copper and polish to tomato, herbs, salt, spices and roasted notes. There's a little more sweetness from the slightly honeyed sugar cane. A very good clairin, which drinks well on its own but also makes a perfect base for cocktails.
Review by Mateusz
Wonderful masterclass with Daniele Biondi. It was great to try to whole range. The story of Clairin and Haiti 🇭🇹 is absolutely amazing. It is a privilege to be able to try such a pure product at home. They ferment in plastic “water” containers and made their own distilling still. Fritz is an owner/master distiller. Distinctively salty.
