8.9/10

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.

Encore un superbe clairin gourmand et très végétal à la fois. La canne fermentée et bien sucrée domine du nez à la finale.

Very interesting, but a bit too much mushroom for me.
