Velier Casimir Clairin Ansyen 21 mois #CARCA1 (Kirsch Whisky) 2016
Lighter and fruitier than most clairin, this one leans into grated apple and pear rather than the raw funk you might brace for. It's a Casimir cane-juice rum finished in an ex-Caroni cask, and a few tasters do catch faint dirty, smoky notes creeping through. At 50% it's warm and a touch thin at first, with cardamom, anise and a long fruity finish. Young but likable.
The community says- Apple-pear fruit
- Long fruity finish
- But: Thin at first

How does Velier Casimir Clairin Ansyen 21 mois #CARCA1 (Kirsch Whisky) 2016 taste?
Aggregated from 15 community reviews.
Fresh, fruity clairin with a Caroni-cask edge Most find it fresh, fruity and easygoing for a young clairin, with the Caroni cask adding a light dirty edge. A couple wish the cardamom stayed in check.

Review by Johannes
Wieder ein sehr spannender Casimir! Mir persönlich sind die Kardamom-Noten neben den schönen gelben Früchten etwas zu dominant.
Review by Frank
Mein zweiter Clairin im Caroni-Fass ausgebaut. Casimir anstatt Sajous. Nase: intensiv und lecker, leicht vergorene Frucht, etwas Essig, leicht rauchig und künstlich-verbrannt (die Caroni-Dreckigkeites-Essenz). Hier geht die Süße eher Richtung Karamell, die Frucht in Richtung süß-säuerlicher Johannisbeere mit Stachelbeere und ich meine auch etwas Frische durch Minze festzustellen. Ist da auch etwas grüne Peperoni? Gaumen: wirkt zunächst etwas dünn, kommt dann über eine leichte Salz-Note direkt zu Anis, Fenchelsamen und Kardamom. Eine gewisse Süße Richtung wässrigem Sirup. Hinten nussiger Sesam und Kräuter. Insgesamt nicht ganz so rund wie der Sajous, etwas herber mit weniger Caroni am Gaumen. Auch sehr schön insgesamt.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Mein zweiter Clairin und dieser überzeugt mich schon eher. Fruchtig, leicht und mit floralen Anklängen, so dass ich fast schon süffig sagen will. In der Nase deutliche Ester, wenn auch weit entfernt von dem, was man aus anderen Ländern kennt, sodass hier der fruchtige Eindruck klar überwiegt. Nicht schlecht für so einen jungen Rum mit immerhin 50%, Ich mag ihn! Edit: Irgendwie habe ich den Eindruck, ein paar dreckige Noten zu schmecken. Ist es das Ex-Caroni-Fass? Ist es Einbildung? Auf jeden Fall rundet es den Geschmack weiter ab.
Review by Harald
Farbe: Stroh Geruch: Süß und cremig mit vielen Fruchtestern. Riecht nach geriebenem Apfel und Birne. Geschmack: Süß und fruchtig im Mund nach Birne. Beim Schlucken immer noch sehr fruchtig. Zudem würzig mit Vanille und Sandelholz. Abgang: Süß, würzig und fruchtig. mittellang super lecker 87 Punkte

#4101 This is a really nice rum especially thinking about the age and price tag. Intense and fruity yet fresh. The palate is warm/spicy and the flavours stick for a very long time. Overall balance is really good. The empty glass is also nice it has some mineral and smoky notes to it.
