Review by Morgan Garet
J'avais déjà adoré le 2013 et celui ci a un ce petit côté eucalyptus qui le fait monter d'un niveau. Clairement une valeur sûre cette maison😋
Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
Clairin closer to Sajous in fact has more perfumed notes and is probably the most delicate of all the clairins I have owned.Not surprisingly, the Casimir aged gave excellent results.On the finish there is a slight peatiness mixed with medicinal after a while.Way to go Velier!
Review by RumRhush
Hyper aromatique !! J’adore
Review by robinho92
Dans la même fibre que Sajous. Légèrement inférieur à choisir mais il reste exceptionnellement bon !
Review by Christoph
Lemon and minue make a delicious marinade for the bacon in the finish.
Review by Benoit Mahe
Une claque ce Clairin mais je lui préfère le Sajous 2018.
Review by Christian Rudt
Gains again significantly in profile in the third round. Great complexity. The wild fermentation that makes up Clairins finds its expression. Mega tasty, I must also try times in nem cocktail. 🍸
Review by rhum
Rhum hors du commun, plein de vivacité de fraîcheur de canne mais aussi de notes savoureuses ( fromage, olives … ) donc bravo
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
Number 4 from the community tasting. Thanks RumTaTa!This one is again more on the Jamaican side than the French. Ester and overripe fruits are there, just like fresh herbs and some cucumber.The mouth is also super fruity: citrus and very ripe yellow fruits, green notes keep very much in the background, to then strike again in the finish, but drier and less fresh than in the nose.For me, the best of the aged Clairin from today's Community Tasting.

25.04.2020 A nice evening out with colleagues and a local liquor shop presenting some nice bottles. Notes Transparent in colour. Nose Fresh, fruity, olive, light smoke, grass, citrus, light floral. Palate Fresh, warm, dried fruit, honey, light smoke, citrus. Finish Medium long, fruity, citrus, herbs, sugarcane.
Review by HenryL
The nose is a bit too sugar cane heavy for my preference, but I really like the taste, especially the salty minty finish. Is something different.

Review by Thunderbird
A wonderfully pleasant, fresh and herbal clairin! Perfect neat and for mixing, the Ti Punch and Daiquiri are 1a.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Sehr fruchtiger und runder Clairin der ordentlich Spaß macht. Perfekt für einen schönen Cocktail geeignet. Als mixer kann ich den wirklich empfehlen. Preis Leistung ist ebenfalls in Ordnung...........
