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! 🙈

Für mich ein schöner Haitianer. In der Nase duftet es nach Alkohol, Agricole und Banane. Setzt sich für mich im Gaumen fort. Alkohol gut eingebunden. Kann man sehr gut trinken, jedenfalls nach den bisherigen Rums heute :)

6.5/10

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.

Zajímavá vůně (jahody, banány), chuť už je průměrnější. Pro mě v pořadí nestařených clairinů na druhém místě za Sajousem.

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
