Anyone curious what unaged Haitian cane spirit really tastes like should start here. It pours water-clear and comes out swinging: fresh-cut sugarcane, hay, lemon peel and a wild, almost barnyard streak — one member says it's like standing in a stable. At 53.5% it's oily and spicy with a long anise-tinged finish. Raw, vegetal and full of place.

This Clairin presents itself crystal clear in appearance with an impressive aromatic intensity. On the nose, fresh, lively notes of fruits, herbs, and floral accents appear, accompanied by a hint of polish and sweet sugarcane. On the palate, it unfolds powerfully and spicy, with an oily texture that harmoniously carries the flavors of sugarcane, citrus fruits, and polish. The finish is long, spicy, and characterized by fine citrus and anise notes – a characterful Clairin that lets you feel its origin in every nuance.
Review by Skyfly
Cologne-Bonn rum tasting: typical markers like sugarcane, grass, a bit fermented and lemon peel are present. On the palate also hay. Alcohol not well integrated, but clearly noticeable; also a bit watery.
Review by Morgan Garet
Another superb clairin, indulgent and very vegetal at the same time. The fermented and well-sugared cane dominates from nose to finish.
Review by Leo Krüper
Unfortunately very alcoholic and neutral.
Review by Sylvain44
I remember this slap in the face when I drank this rum a long time ago, almost 10 years ago, I think it was the moment when I realized the extent of the possibilities with white rum! Since then I can't get enough of it, a very wild side, as if you were in a stable with horses and oxen, a change of scenery, I think it's a Clairin character trait.
Review by MathiasR
Very interesting, but a bit too much mushroom for me.
