"The most impressive unaged rum I've ever sampled," one member wrote — and that captures the surprise here. This Haitian cane-juice clairin runs grassy and herbal with lemongrass, citrus and a natural sweetness, but Casimir's trick is the savory side: several tasters get smoked bacon, salt, even parmesan. Tamer than Sajous, less smoky than Le Rocher, it's oily and full-bodied yet almost well-mannered at 51.5%.
The community says- Herbal complexity
- Great value
- Keep in mind: Savory bacon note

How does Velier Casimir Clairin 2021 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Grassy Haitian clairin with a savory bacon streak Clairin fans rate it highly and love the price-to-quality, though the savory bacon-and-salt streak isn't for everyone. Regulars call it the approachable, drinkable one of the range.

29.01.2026 Retasting and I still find it pretty good especially when looking at the price tag. ---------- #4222 2023.08.24 Went to one of my rum pushers yesterday and was lucky for a small tasting. This one is very fresh and fruity. It has a nice citrus/lemon touch in the profile. Price to quality is very good in my mind. The empty glass has a touch of ginger and cane.
Review by DutchRumPirate
Oh, this is quite a different flavor from the Clairin Sonson. Now, instead of the dominant earthy and floral notes, as another reviewer put it nicely, the smoked bacon and salty notes come to the fore more. But I can also place the sensation of a sort of floral soap and olive, citrus, mint, and grass. As you can see, a very unique flavor. You have to like it. I think it has a certain appeal. Definitely nice as a change of pace in your rum choices.
Review by M. Mark
This is my fifth clairin and also my first Casimir. It's significantly less green and funky than Sajous, and way less smoky than Le Rocher. Haiti surprised me again. I was expecting it a tad more crazy. But this rum is almost smooth, with good manners. ☺️ On the nose I get lemongrass, citrus, grass and a little bit of sulfur. I don't smell in it any smokiness. After a short oxidation, the odour of sulfur disappears. On the taste, there's a natural sweetness, herbs, a little citrus fruits, and a tad of mint. It's significantly greener in a taste, then it smells. The aftertaste is short. About green pepper and mint. I compared Casimir against Sajous. I drank them neat and also in Ti' Punch. Sajous won in both cases.
Review by Skyfly
Compared to the last Clairin, this one tastes quite soapy and even feels like that on the finish. Taste-wise okay with primarily vegetal influences, some smoke, and citrus fruits.
Review by Florent Apl
On the nose, I have lemongrass and an earthy note. In the mouth, I mainly have an herbal note, similar to essential oils used in massage creams or in SPAs. It's also slightly sweet. The final is on that same herbal note. It's nice. I prefer it to the Sajous but less than the Vaval.
Review by Filip Šikula
On-line degustation of Clairin by Rum explorer 9.12.2024 expects grassiness and earthiness is replaced by smoky bacon with tons of salt... I've never had anything like it and I enjoy it, although it probably won't appeal to everyone
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. Casimir adds spices and herbs to distillation. Only one Clairin like that in Haiti ;) Distinctive Parmesan smell and very herby taste 5-6 days fermentation Every batch seems to be totally different
Review by Buddudharma
Compared to older vintages, a real disappointment. Too vegetal, no nice mouthfeel, too short finish. Where the old Casimirs were real heavy hitters, this one is okay but a league below. A shame.
Review by paulgi86
The most impressive unaged rum I’ve ever sampled - quite simply it’s excellent Sweet, savoury, grassy, meaty, full bodied, oily, mouth coating, delicious and amazingly complex for the type of rum
