Review by cigares
Comparative series of ansyans Clairins. Quite a rough nose with medicine, whiskey, vegetal and a bit of oil. A surprisingly smooth mouthfeel when I was expecting a lot of strength. Vegetal and caramel. The finish is quite long and dominated by smoked/coated whisky. A very good rum but the rum and whisky flavours collide a bit without finding harmony.

Review by Leo Tomczak
Very interesting thing. The Jack Daniel's barrel really comes into its own. With a few % more, this would have been a real winner.

Crosstasting gelagerte Clairins: Le Rocher 27 Monate Ex-Whisky (RX4411) Casimir 27 Monate Ex-Whisky (RX12073) Ansyen 27 Monate Ex-Whisky (RX12072) Die Nase erinnert noch stark an den ungelagerten damals zurecht „Käsefuß“ genannten Clairin, nur in etwas zahmer. Stattdessen mehr in Richtung Joghurt und im Vergleich zum ungelagerten etwas mehr Frucht als Olive. Man riecht auch etwas Rauch, sicherlich von der Jack Daniels Bourbon Lagerung. Und nun zum Geschmack: Wow, wie schon der ungelagerte Clairin ein etwas hässliches versifftes Einhorn unter den typischen Rums. Speck, Rauch, Jod, Zitrone und Torf. Klingt eigenartig, schmeckt auch so. Aber ist irgendwie auch interessant und anders, aber definitiv kein Gaumenschmeichler. Fazit: der abgefuckte Le Rocher ist zwar nichts was man oft trinken kann oder will, aber ist echt am spannendsten. Ne Flasche davon würde ich alleine nicht leer bekommen. Aber hin und wieder um den Gaumen mal ordentlich zu verprügeln echt interessant. Heute der Sieger des Vergleichs. Demnächst folgen Vaval 22 Monate, Sajous 22 Monate, Sajous 5Y Ex-Caroni
Review by Rum man
Now, Le Rocher can be a divise Clairin but I love it. For me it is almost like liquid Hamka's crisps. The biggest flavors I get are cheese, ham/bacon and smoke. This stuff remains soft while delivering these savoury notes. This is very enjoyable. It does not lose much of its original vavoom.
Review by Montana
A slightly fruity medicinal aroma, somewhat of ester and citrus. The taste is slightly fruity, slightly smoky, slightly spicy in the finish.
Review by Oliver
Schöner Clairin mit eher dezenter Bourbon-Reifung, eher Rauch. Angenehme Trinkstärke.
