"Olives through the roof," as one member put it — like opening a can of olives in brine, and he means it as a compliment. This is raw Haitian clairin: fresh-cut grass, wet hay, herbs and a salty, oily texture, wild and unaged. The nose can overwhelm at first pour but settles once it rests. Pure and green, exactly what people chase in this style.
The community says- Grassy olive brine
- Salty oily texture

How does Velier Chelo Clairin Sajous 2021 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Raw, grassy Haitian clairin with olive-brine punch Fans of unaged agricole/clairin love how pure and green it is. A few call it one-dimensional, but that raw grassy-olive character is the whole point here.

#4886 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Fresh, vegetal, citrus, spice, olive, light herbal, sugarcane, light floral, faint smoke. Palate Oily, fresh, round, vegetal, olive, faint salt, faint smoke, citrus, faint grass, sugarcane, faint tar. Finish Medium long, fresh, oily, vegetal, olive, light salt, citrus, light herbal. Not a bad rum either and the price is usually pretty good at release.

A tasty Sajous whose aroma profile may be a bit too monotonous, but whose balance between natural sweetness, fruitiness and grassy herbal notes is really successful. Especially the smell, which reminds me of fermented raspberries and sweet-sour pickled baby corn, is fun.
Review by Filip Šikula
Online tasting of Clairin by Rum Explorer 9.12.2024 very interesting on the nose.. significant and memorable.. on the palate lots of grass, herbs and spices. The taste is very very “pure” which is exactly what one expects from clairin.

The relocated Sajous is awesome again and again
Review by Big Greasy Daddy
Very fun to try this along with the aged version. I enjoy this but it knocks your socks off when you age it. It is a wild rum and I love it. Aging does take the edges off but sometimes you want to go wild!
Review by Jack M
Olives through the roof. Opening a can of olives in brine. I like it.
Review by Александр Иванов
Nose: Fresh, pungent. Lot of green grass, olives, tomato, vegetables, coriander. Then, you can feel a sugarcane juice, grape & kiwi. Hint of solvents. Palate: Fresh, sour, little bit sweet & salty. Oily texture. Fresh grass, olives, vegetables, green peppers, coriander & herbals. Some fruits, like kiwi. Very rich taste. Aftertaste: long. Still lot of grass, fresh olives, salty & herbals. Conclusion: amazing ! Highly recommend to try it. Maybe different vintage, but overall must try.
Review by Bowel Emptier
I usually really like Veliers but this wasn’t my favorite. It’s a really interesting rum but it lacks that deeper complexity of other rums. It’s got one or two notes but those notes are really interesting.
Review by Keagan
3/7/26 Was highly recommended by many people. I bought a bottle on special. Nose: first pour out of the bottle. Olives and wet, damp hay/grass, faint citrus zest underneath. It’s very fresh, to the point where it’s almost sickening in a way? Letting it rest, I get more vegetal and floral notes, with some faint crushed pepper, the freshness is much more mellowed and doesn’t overpower. More balanced and rounded. Palate: vegetal, apple, faint saltiness, citrus zest, peppery, a really strong dried date, like a Medjool? It’s so rounded, absolutely not like the nose. Finish: dry, oily, fresh, faint vegetal/herb? Thoughts: I’ll admit, I don’t like Olives, and I’ve only had 1 agricole/sugar cane spirit before, and it wasn’t for me. But this is an amazing agricole. The nose at first pour was overwhelming, but once rested I think it’s perfect. The palate is delightful, I can see why the Clairin’s are so highly praised. Give it a try.
Review by M. Mark
The scent is interesting and funky. Grappa, olives, wet grass and all of those on a fresh side. The taste of the rum is also dominated by a grappa, green olives and brine. The taste and aroma of olives is addictive :) Since this one I've had a couple of Sajous differently aged in a different casks, but young Sajous is wild. Not very complex with a round edges. Just wild, and I love it exactly as is. Read lessRead less
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.
