If you already chase clairin and mezcal, this Casimir speaks your language. The nose is wild — banana and beeswax over a buttery, cheesy, almost fermented funk that a few tasters admit is off-putting before it wins them over. The palate settles into sugarcane, green olive, lime and a salty mineral edge, with smoke drifting underneath. At 49.5% the alcohol sits well integrated.

How does Velier Casimir Clairin 2018 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Wild, mezcal-leaning Haitian clairin Most tasters find it a compelling, characterful Haitian pot-still — the funky, cheesy nose can startle, but it fades on the palate into mezcal and olive.

Liquid cheese plate and some vomit in the nose. 😳 Disgusting, but still somehow horny. On the palate, these off notes disappear and it goes towards mezcal. Very special clairin! 🙈
Review by Timo Groeger
For me a nice Haitian. The nose smells of alcohol, agricole and banana. Continues for me on the palate. Alcohol well integrated. Very drinkable, at least after today's rums so far :)
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
the addition of botanicals such as lemongrass and ginger one smells in any case on the nose. too bad that one tastes nothing of it. taste it is really something extremely cheesy, and Vegetable fermented. unfortunately so not at all mine.
Review by TheJackDrop
"Peut être encore meilleur que le rocher avec une papaye en complément et un fond de mescal. Décidément j’adore les clairins ! En resume, mes notes de degutation : Au nez : Banane, Mezcal, Cire d'abeille En bouche : Canne à sucre, Mezcal, Citron vert, Olive, Papaye"
Review by Michal S
Interesting aroma (strawberries, bananas), taste is more average. For me in the order of unaged clairins in second place behind Sajous.
Review by Émile Shevek
Certainly unique and special, thanks to the Haitian method of production and distillation, interesting in its notes of acidic and citrus fruit that then leave savoriness on the finish
