Opinions land mostly warm but not head-over-heels: most tasters find this a fresh, herbal cane-juice rum with mint, spice and light wood, though a few call the short, dry finish a letdown. The nose gets love for buttery, pastry-like sugar and cinnamon; the palate stays lean, minty and vegetal. Fans of aged Clairin call it distinctive and "pretty drinkable" without being overly complex.
The community says- Buttery pastry nose
- Fresh minty herbal
- But: Short finish

Aggregated from 43 community reviews.
Fresh, herbal cane rum, short finish Most rate it a fresh, herbal Haitian cane rum with mint and spice. The catch keeps coming up: a short, dry finish that stops some from scoring it higher.

#4883 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 Round, sugarcane, light wood, spice, light herbal, light floral, light citrus, light mint, faint tar, light cinnamon. Palate Round, fresh, sugarcane, spice, light herbal, faint floral, light mint, faint tar, faint rubber, light honey, cinnamon, light citrus. . Finish Medium to long, fresh, light wood, faint smoke, sugarcane, dried fruit, cinnamon, light floral. Also a pretty good release and the Caroni's cask is detectable.

A rum tasted at Whisky Live in Paris in 2024. The nose is buttery, pastry-like, with overripe fruit. These aromas dominate the usual herbaceous sides. The nose is rather interesting, but the palate lags behind with somewhat restrained aromas. The finish is rather short.
Review by Timo Groeger
A very nice rum. Herbs are recognizable on the nose, mint stands out clearly here, otherwise also slightly woody. It remains minty, fresh and herbal on the palate. There is also a certain spiciness and sugar cane.
Review by TheRhumhoe
In the evolutionary line of Providence rums, this little rum starts on the nose with beautiful tarry, buttery and pastry notes. Cinnamon, wood, citrus, sugarcane and herbal aromas join the dance and form a beautiful olfactory symphony. A round, innovative and charming nose. On the palate, a soft rum, on the sweet side of cane and molasses, but also a lot of freshness with vegetal, herbal and mentholated sequences. Behind a medicinal envelope hides spices (cinnamon, vanilla), dried fruits and a touch of wood. The profile is accessible but offers a beautiful aromatic variety, perfect to discover new horizons. The alcohol is very well integrated. Quite rare to highlight but the finish is almost superior to the rest of the profile by revealing a plethora of aromas. Mineral and iodized notes blend perfectly with the floral, sweet and very ripe side that goes towards fruit. Wood, spicy and smoky notes put the final touch to this tasting with elegance and balance. A nice rum that is evolving and promises good things for the future.
Review by zabo
Ein solider Rum. Nichts besonderes, eher leicht zu trinken, würde diesen eher in die Kategorie easy Sipper ein ordentlich. Der Abgang ist leider ein wenig kurz, was ihm eine bessere Bewertung verbaut.
Review by primus
Having recently acquired a taste for matured Clairins, I was really looking forward to the Providence 2021. The rum smells of sugar cane, dried fruit and wood full of character. Slender, dry and mild on the palate with a little wood. Very independent, not overly complex, but exciting and quite drinkable, leaving you wanting more.
Review by Jakob
In a direct comparison of the Providence series from 2019, 2020 and 2021, the latter is one of the driest releases. Characterized by herbal notes, crisp spice from pepper and wood, the profile is flanked by some sugar cane aromas and subtle caramel. Despite its young age, it is already beautifully balanced and has an appealingly complex aroma.
Review by Michael Schou
01-03-2025 Can decide if I like this one or the 2019 Caroni cask best. I really like the 3 barrel blend of this one. This might be my new Providence favorit. Definitely a glas I would like to taske again 😉
Review by Henry Davies
Think this is on a par with the 2020 for me, less fruity but complex and lingering finish. Nose is interesting with buttery sugar and some light citrus. The mouth is round with molasses and spice. Finish brings iodine and fresh vegetal notes. Great rum for the price, expect would work well in a daiquiri
Review by Romain de L
Agricole nose, fresh and pleasant. Agreeable to drink - very easy but not very complex
Review by Richard Krupa
Herbs, spices, and citrus, lightly rubbery in the finish
Review by Dávid Kempl
It does need time to open up nicely. Well integrated alcohol The canejuice footprinces are there in the aftertaste: medical, floral and mint. Relatively short and dry end. A bit disappionting
Review by Filip Heimerle
It's the same as providence 2019 only the distinctly post-chronic withdrawal is missing here
